Follow on Google News | The Preiss Company Discusses Purpose-Built Technology for Student Housing at OpTech 2011Company principal leads peer-to-peer roundtable discussion on future of student housing software
By: The Preiss Company Based in Washington, DC, NMHC (www.nmhc.org) “The wave of the future will be mobile media, mobile groups, and social media,” says Preiss. “iPhones and incredible Apps will be the wave of the future. Apps will tell students who among their Facebook friends are living in a particular apartment, social groups will form in cyberspace, and social websites will not only help students find out where the parties are each night, but which friends are attending those parties. It’s like ‘Socialbook’ Preiss’ roundtable discussed the challenges posed by student housing properties using “off-the-shelf” “The general consensus of the roundtable was a clear dissatisfaction with the student housing software currently on the market,” says Preiss. “The fundamental problem is that all of today’s software solution databases are built on a platform of ‘by the unit’ and student housing needs a database built on a platform of ‘by the bed’.” Joining Preiss at the conference were Phillip Emer, Director of Technology, and Gavin Short, Application Technology Analyst. Additional general session topics included Integrated Approaches: Business & Technology, The Apartment and Property Management Office of the Future, and Building Performance Evaluation as a Risk Management Tool.
