As 2024 comes to a close, let’s take a look and reflect on Yardi’s achievements and accomplishments. Here are a few of the highlights.  

A Milestone Anniversary

2024 was a milestone year for Yardi as we celebrated the company’s 40th anniversary. Clients that attended our Yardi Advanced Solutions Conference (YASC) events and employees worldwide received a special anniversary silver coin. These commemorative coins signify the milestone anniversary and mark Yardi’s four decades of real estate industry leadership. We look forward to another 40 years of providing outstanding products, services and support to our valued clients.

Glassdoor Employees’ Choice Award

Starting 2024 with a bang, Yardi was again named a winner of Glassdoor’s 16th Employees’ Choice Awards, honoring the Best Places to Work 2024. This recognition is evidence of the positive work environment and culture we have collectively built at Yardi, making each of us a part of this success.

The Glassdoor Employees’ Choice Award is based solely on the input of employees who voluntarily provide anonymous feedback by completing a review about their job, work environment and employer on Glassdoor, the worldwide leader in insights about jobs, work environments and companies.

“We are humbled to be included with so many great organizations and by the consistent, positive support of our global employees, which resulted in this honor,” said Kevin Yardi, vice president at Yardi. “For over 40 years, we have achieved steady growth by taking care of our customers, employees and communities. If you are looking for a great place to grow your career, Yardi is hiring in many offices worldwide.”

ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year

In the spring, Yardi was honored to receive the 2024 ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy for the sixth consecutive year since 2019.

The Sustained Excellence Award, presented to Yardi for the fourth time this year, is a prestigious acknowledgment of the company’s consistent leadership and ongoing commitment to energy efficiency in real estate.

“We are proud to have played a pivotal role in benchmarking and certifying buildings across the industry and worldwide in 2023. As a witness to our clients making progress toward and achieving their efficiency and reporting goals, we continue to advocate for the value of the ENERGY STAR program for building owners and managers,” said Joe Consolo, industry principal at Yardi.

Forbes Cloud 100 Streak Continues

In the summer, Yardi was named again to the prestigious Forbes Cloud 100 list, the definitive ranking of the top 100 private cloud companies in the world, published by Forbes in partnership with Bessemer Venture Partners and Salesforce Ventures. Yardi was a member of the inaugural Cloud 100 in 2016 and was No. 36 this year, making the list for the ninth straight year.

“We’re honored that Yardi continues to rank among the top private cloud companies worldwide,” said Joel Loewen, vice president of cloud services at Yardi. “Since the inaugural list, this inclusion has reflected the continual efforts of our employees to create innovative and impactful solutions for our customers. We take pride in being one of the oldest companies on this prestigious list as well as one of the few that has no external capital.”

Hurricane Helene Relief

In the Fall, Yardi was there to help hundreds affected by Hurricane Helene, which made landfall in the Big Bend area of Florida, ravaging parts of Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and the Carolinas with flooding, storm surge and dangerous winds.

Yardi pledged $250,000 to Direct Relief and World Central Kitchen for post-hurricane relief. These funds enabled both organizations to provide crucial emergency medical supplies, food, and water to those in need, demonstrating Yardi’s dedicated support for the affected communities. Our contribution made a significant difference in the lives of hundreds affected by Hurricane Helene, showcasing our commitment to social responsibility and community support.

Sarah Bridich, Yardi’s director of corporate philanthropy, said: “With Yardi employees living in every state impacted by Hurricane Helene, we wanted to support organizations that quickly had boots on the ground. We are grateful that both Direct Relief and World Central Kitchen were able to move so quickly to provide needed medical supplies, food, and water to those directly impacted.”

YASC and YASC Canada

The journey continued at the 2024 Yardi Advanced Solutions Conference in San Diego this year as nearly 4,500 real estate technology leaders gathered for an exhilarating and insightful conference with the most significant #YardiParty to date, jamming with Journey.

The fun didn’t stop in California. YASC Canada brought over 1,000 attendees for an immersive experience in Toronto. Peter Altobelli opened the general session by acknowledging the year-long planning and immense efforts involved in making YASC Canada a success.

“We are focused on education, networking and partnering with you today and for the long term,” Altobelli remarked, emphasizing Yardi’s commitment to its clients’ growth and success.
