Management Reports International (MRI), a provider of integrated information solutions to real estate investors, developers, and property and asset managers, has released MRI for Windows®, a re-engineered Windows-based version of its industry-leading, DOS-based product called "The System."

MRI for Windows is an integrated suite of software applications that enables companies to quickly access and exchange information across their organizations using familiar Windows-based commands and formats.

"Better decision-making requires better access to information," says Ron McComas, vice president of marketing for MRI. "With MRI for Windows, executives get the information they need, in the form they need it, when they need it most. This gives them better control over day-to-day operations, as well as a powerful tool for long range planning and analysis."

MRI for Windows includes simple, non-technical, step-by-step directions on how to customize every part of the software -- from data entry to data access to daily reports. A scalable, open-system design enables it to be configured as a single-site, regional, or international solution.

Using MRI for Windows companies may integrate information about leases, locations, taxes, tenants, expenses and maintenance; analyze portfolios and properties from every perspective using drill-down queries and in-depth analysis and benchmarking tools; track performance by project, portfolio, property type, or location; ensure that critical data files are always up-to-date and synchronized across different offices and locations; use a library of built-in tables, charts, and forms to quickly create accurate snapshots of a portfolio's current or future financial status, from any perspective, to support strategic decision-making; and leverage MRI's central servers, database technology, and telecommunications software to ensure full integrity and security of all data transmissions.

Cleveland-based MRI, founded in 1971, provides integrated single-site, regional, and global information solutions to real estate managers, developers, and investors through a customized combination of software design, implementation, training, and ongoing IT support. The company has offices in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, and Washington D.C., as well as in Australia, Singapore, South Africa, and the UK.
