What is the latest news on your product?

In March 2017, Imperium receives prestigious Acumatica-Certified Application (ACA) status for the Acumatica 6.1 platform.

What are your views on the current real estate tech sector?

The growing role of technology in every phase of CRE provides opportunity and risk. Owners and operators should practice cyber safety and ensure the security of their companies’ and their clients’ data. With the proliferation of mobile apps and other evolving technologies, many businesses will find new ways to attract and retain customers. However, unless they take the necessary precautions—such as employing the proper training and software—they will be increasingly subject to risk. For small and mid-size organizations, especially, a data breach can be devastating, if not deadly.

What are your future plans?

Imperium development will focus on the integration of CRE PropTech applications to meet client demands. IBSRE will expand distribution through the world-wide Acumatica channel. Imperium GROW SaaS will provide enterprise functionality to small and growing owner/ operators. Rapid Deployment/Conversion options will become available over the next six months.
