Till now, organizations considering outsourced real estate services have wrestled with a trade-off: the feeling of giving up control in order to achieve the savings and efficiencies they desire.

No longer. With RealSuite, you own the data - and the knowledge that goes with it. No matter what you decide to outsource, or how those arrangements change over time, RealSuite provides consistent access to all the details of your operations. And RealSuite is designed for relatively quick, inexpensive integration with other systems. So, in the event that you change vendors or financial systems, you won't get mired with a complex data warehouse and a technology architecture that breaks with every version update.

With the control RealSuite provides over the mission-critical business of managing your real estate assets, you can trust third parties to deliver cost savings and efficiencies like never before.

Make the right decision about outsourcing. RealSuite reduces the perceived risks in outsourcing by putting in your hands the same integrated tool that's used by a world-class outsourcer:

• Easily establish benchmarks for operations and assets across your portfolio
• Identify which parts of your portfolio are good candidates for outsourcing and which are not
• Track financial performance closely through a strategic view of your portfolio

Own your data and maintain visibility. RealSuite's communication protocols and off-the-shelf software "connectors" make it easy for you to share data with an outsourcer's systems. So when you outsource - even to multiple service providers - it's a snap to get the information you need for a real-time view of all your assets. With RealSuite, you're in control - no matter what you outsource and what you keep in house.

Get no penalties for changing providers. RealSuite decouples technology from service provision. Deciding to outsource or changing service providers at the end of a contract can be enormously expensive, as your underlying technical infrastructure must usually change as well. RealSuite provides an "exit strategy" that ensures continuous control of your portfolio, even as your approach to outsourcing changes over time.

It's possible that your outsourcers may choose to use RealSuite themselves, given its heritage as a tool designed for their needs. This choice would give both you and your outsourcers an exceptional level of control and visibility, for little effort.
