Your competition is investing in new systems to improve profitability and reduce costs - can you afford not to keep pace?

This book is not about technology; it is about property information and how to use it more effectively in your business. As a property occupier, do you really understand where property adds value to the business? As an investor, which information is vital to negotiating better deals? As an agent, how much information can you give your clients for free and where can you make money if you do that?

IT for Property People is a guide to using your information better, and to preparing for new systems:
how you prioritise your business needs;
how to structure the project
how to write a tender
what you should pay attention to in discussions with suppliers

There are sections on how to set up an IT department and numerous case studies of property organisations which are getting information systems right.

Here's what leaders in the property industry say about IT for Property People:

"It is obvious that knowledge is power but the knowledge only comes from access to, and analysis of, better information. Try making a risk free decision without information and you will understand this truism. This book provides the increasingly essential framework for the property industry." Angus McIntosh, Head of Research, King Sturge

"Waller's eminently readable book is a practical guide to the hazards and shortcuts of implementing IT systems in the property sector" Martin Farncombe, co-author of the Atomic Corporation and Atomic

"This is essential reading for anyone involved in property systems. If you are interested in property IT you should own a well thumbed copy" Frank Baldwin, Editor, Property Systems Review
