Global real estate technology provider Yardi has been named for the fifth time to the Forbes Cloud 100, the definitive list of the top 100 private cloud companies in the world. Yardi was a member of the inaugural Cloud 100 in 2016, landed at No. 30 for 2019, and is No. 34 this year. “We’re honored that Forbes has recognized Yardi yet again for our industry-leading cloud solutions,” said Jay Shobe, vice president of cloud services at Yardi. “To continue to rank among these prestigious companies reflects the efforts of our employees and the tremendous support of our clients worldwide.” The evaluation process involved four factors: market leadership (35%), estimated valuation (30%), operating metrics (20%), people and culture (15%). The Forbes Cloud 100 judge panel weighed the factors to select, score and rank the winners. With that data, the judge panel, which includes major public cloud company CEOs, was then responsible for selecting and ranking the top 100 companies globally. “The private cloud ecosystem continues to mature in light of rapid digital transformations, making the competition to land one of the coveted spots on the Cloud 100 list steeper than ever,” said Byron Deeter, a top cloud investor, and partner at Bessemer Venture Partners. “Private cloud valuations are getting bigger as the market’s appetite for cloud continues to grow. Over the past five years, the average Cloud 100 valuation has grown by a tremendous 2.5x, from $1 billion in 2016 to $2.7 billion in 2020. In fact, our 2020 Cloud 100 includes over 87 private cloud unicorns! These founders represent the absolute best in cloud computing today.” “For five years now, we have ranked the best and brightest emerging companies in the cloud sector,” said Alex Konrad, Forbes editor of The Cloud 100. “With...

The list demonstrates that when companies invest in sustainability, they become more profitable. Forbes explains, “the Global 100’s cumulative return is 24 percentage points higher than the ACWI benchmark.” Of those profitable companies, Yardi client Prologis returns to the World’s Most Sustainable Companies list yet again. The Colorado-based company celebrates a decade on the list this year. “We place high value on being a responsible corporate citizen,” says Arthur Nelson, VP Global Business Systems in an interview with Yardi. “One key element of that commitment is developing to internationally recognized sustainable building standards including LEED, BREEAM, CASBEE, HQE and DGNB, with the goal of certification.” Prologis also requires compliance from vendors. The Supplier Code of Conduct defines ethical, environmental and social principles for all supply chain partners.
