SANTA BARBARA, CALIF., Oct. 16, 2008 – Yardi Systems, a leader in developing real estate software for investment, asset, and property management, announced today that real estate investment firm Centaurus Investments has successfully implemented Yardi Voyager™ Residential, an integrated system for multifamily real estate management, as its new accounting and property management solution.
Following a contract signing in May, Centaurus rolled out Voyager Residential to 17 of its Texas properties encompassing 5,400 units over the subsequent four months. Centaurus also selected Yardi’s Application Service Provider hosting service.
Voyager Residential combines accounting and property management information in a single, centralized database, delivering system-wide transparency and optimizing control over a range of management tasks.
“When we sought to replace our accounting software earlier this year, we wanted to explore options for a new property management solution as well. Voyager met both of those requirements with one integrated solution,” said Sean Bukowski, Centaurus’ chief operating officer. “Yardi’s reputation in the real estate industry is excellent, and we knew that everything would go smoothly if we selected them. Voyager is very easy to use, and employees in both our accounting and property management operations are very happy with it.”
“We are delighted to welcome Centaurus as a new client and begin what we hope is a long-term association,” said Terri Dowen, Yardi’s senior vice president of Sales. “Yardi looks forward to helping Centaurus achieve its property investment and management goals with a solution that encompasses critical portfolio management functions in one suite.”
