With events in London, Sydney, and Singapore, Yardi’s continued expansion of its worldwide advanced software training offerings was well-received by clients in November 2015.

The Yardi Advanced Solutions Conference, with a strong foundation of support from the company’s U.S.-based clientele, will continue to grow in 2016.

“Offering YASC to our overseas clients is a product of our steady global growth and our desire to maintain leadership in software solutions for commercial, residential and investment management,” said Neal Gemassmer, vice president of international for Yardi. “YASC gives users the opportunity to refresh their familiarity with existing products, learn about new ones and build relationships with Yardi employees and each other.”

In London on Nov. 7-9, 240 clients joined Yardi product experts for two days of training classes, product roadmap updates, dining and entertainment, one-on-one support, and more. YASC Europe was held at 8 Northumberland Avenue in London and focused on the European commercial, residential, and investment markets.

In Sydney on Nov. 16-18, more 110 clients joined to attend 40 classes included advanced training on Yardi’s software suite, presentation of the forthcoming product roadmap, and insight into regional market trends. In Singapore on Nov. 23-24, more than 80 clients joined to attend 20 classes that were offered with similar themes. Classes were tailored for executives, product users, and technology professionals who could learn about Yardi solutions such as Orion Business Intelligence, COMMERCIALCafé, Commercial LeasingPad, and Advanced Budgeting and Forecasting.

For the first time, the Yardi Lab, where clients can work one-on-one with technical experts to troubleshoot individual software issues, was offered at both #YASCANZ and #YASCAsia.

Clients attending the event shared positive feedback on the programming, as well as the tasty breakfasts, buffet lunches, and tea breaks. With unique entertainment at each venue, the reception events were very well-received.

In 2016, continued expansion to the regional YASC events are planned, and clients can look forward to expanded content, increased attendance, and excellent entertainment.

YASC will also be expanded to the Middle East next year.

“Yardi looks forward to developing additional new best practices with clients at YASC Middle East in Dubai being held in March 2016,” Gemassmer said.
