Bethesda, Maryland - Euclid Technology (http://66.93.106.4/dnn), a premier provider of integrated software solutions for customer-focused and member-based organizations, announced today that Washington, DC-based JM Zell Partners, a commercial real estate consulting firm, selected Euclid's flagship, web-enabled software, ClearVantage 6.0.
With its diverse and growing client base, JM Zell Partners was looking to marry technology with its commitment to customer service. "Obtaining this software is our way of investing in the future by being able to adapt to the specialized needs of all of our clients," says JM Zell Partners Founder and President, Jeffrey Zell. "I started this company based on the premise of revolutionizing customer service in the real estate field, and empowering our consultants with the ClearVantage software keeps us at the head of that class."
ClearVantage's powerful, new Real Estate Management Module has comprehensive functionality, allowing it to manage information related to owned property and leasehold interests. The software integrates its Real Estate Management Module with Customer Relationship Management (CRM), allowing users to easily manage the key pieces of their portfolios. With ClearVantage, JM Zell Partners will be able to classify leases by type; segment property by location, size, lease termination dates; manage assets at a single location or throughout an entire portfolio of properties; receive and send automated notification of escalation dates and rates; store and manage lease-related documentation (such as letters of intent, lease comments and lease audits) and all in one place; and track interaction with clients. Owned properties can be tracked just as easily, as ClearVantage can maintain purchase and sale agreements, contracts, title insurance, etc.
ClearVantage will also allow JM Zell's clients to instantly access their leases and other real estate information via the Internet. Clients, for example, can easily search by keyword to locate pertinent sections of the lease, submit service requests, and update their contact information. In addition, JM Zell's brokers can access client information via the web, check lease status while away from the office and assign tasks to other users.
"Euclid is excited to implement its comprehensive Real Estate Management Module at JM Zell Partners. The software will help JM Zell go to the next level in terms of the services that it can offer its clients," explains Charles Vinal, President and CEO of Euclid Technology. "Strategic data analysis, online access to information - these and other benefits will allow each client to gain a deeper understanding of its holdings and more quickly identify opportunities that will advance the organization."
