After more than 10 years of using MANAGEMENT Plus™ property management software, McDougal VP selects additional ACS technology to handle newly acquired tax credit, HUD and affordable housing units
MADISON, WI, June 23, 2004 - American Computer Software (ACS) today announced that McDougal Properties, a long-time customer, selected the MANAGEMENT Plus™ solution to automate most of the daily tasks throughout its new, diversified portfolio that now includes several affordable housing units.
Growing to 7,700 units, McDougal Properties implemented MANAGEMENT Plus™, a comprehensive property management software solution specializing in data management for affordable housing, as well as general property management tasks including applications, move-ins and move-outs, maintenance issues, marketing and numerous other functions. More than 60 McDougal property managers and bookkeepers now use MANAGEMENT Plus, significantly increasing efficiency while also gaining a centralized source for all housing data.
"It's great how MANAGEMENT Plus automates a lot of the process with our affordable housing units because it streamlines the process that used to involve so much paper work," said Suzanne Comer, vice president of corporate service at McDougal Properties. "The ease of use using MANAGEMENT Plus is by far its greatest feature. Converting from one software solution to another is always a big challenge, but ACS was helpful and made it as easy as possible. We were extremely dissatisfied with our previous solution, making MANAGEMENT Plus a welcomed change."
"The management of affordable housing data continues to serve as a heavy burden for property managers dealing with all sizes of properties," said Heather Gullickson, executive vice president at ACS. "Advanced applications are easily added on as customers' needs change. McDougal Properties had been a valued client for more than ten years when we were able to assist them with their acquisition of sixty affordable properties."
