Yardi Orion for SharePoint to Provide Business Intelligence and Document Management for Yardi Voyager Clients

Today Yardi announced Yardi Orion™ for SharePoint®, an
innovative new platform that is available to Yardi Voyager™
clients. Yardi Orion integrates Yardi Voyager with Microsoft
SharePoint and leverages Yardi Voyager’s operational, financial and
ancillary information to provide Yardi clients with unprecedented
business intelligence and visibility into their business. Offered
as Software as a Service, Yardi Orion enables rapid, simplified
deployment of SharePoint and expands access to information and
documents across an entire organization.
Utilizing a pre-built data warehouse with business intelligence
cubes, Yardi Orion includes out-of-the-box business intelligence
dashboards to help Yardi Voyager users gain insight into their
operations. Because the Yardi Voyager platform is an end-to-end
business solution for property management, information can be
combined and acted on in ways never before possible.
“For example, our Voyager clients who also use our resident
screening service can combine screening results with resident
history,” said Terri Dowen, senior vice president of sales for
Yardi. “This correlates screening scores with skip, eviction and
delinquency trends, allowing clients to adjust screening criteria
to improve overall resident quality.”
Implementing SharePoint by itself presents a difficult challenge
in terms of matching and maintaining property and document security
with a property management system. The Yardi Orion framework is
ground-breaking because it automatically synchronizes Voyager’s
security and entity hierarchies with SharePoint. This speeds up the
SharePoint rollout exponentially, and provides integration with the
property management system that is not possible with SharePoint by
itself.
Along with business intelligence, Yardi Orion also enables
synchronized document management that allows documents to be
securely accessed and updated from Yardi Voyager and SharePoint,
preconfigured employee intranet portals, and portals for property
marketing and resident services that include online lease execution
and resident payments. Because Yardi Orion is built on a SharePoint
platform, clients can take advantage of the customization
capability of SharePoint to further customize or create their own
dashboards and portals.
“We regard Orion as a revolutionary development in real estate
investment and property management. Along with saving the time and
expense of rolling out SharePoint, Orion’s built-in integration
with Voyager enables smarter collaboration among property managers
and all of their employees, residents and prospects,” said
Dowen.
