Multifamily Outlook: Looking Back and Moving Forward in Today's Challenging Market delivers a comprehensive overview of the obstacles property management firms are facing to staff, maintain, and operate their communities against economic headwinds that are shrinking bottom lines. The webcast explores how the multifamily housing industry can leverage technology to supplement workforces and reduce costs to meet financial expectations.

"In order to succeed in today's challenging marketplace, businesses of all types need to implement an automated service approach to strengthen the capabilities of their workforce," Kirby explained. "Change has never moved faster, but along with that change comes the need to revise our strategies and transform outdated processes to ensure continuity of services."

Joining Kirby is property management expert, Ernest F. Oriente of PowerHour, an industry professional, and the author of SmartMatch Alliances.

As with all the material we produce, we strive to deliver relevant, straightforward information to our audience, so they can better prepare for the next wave of developments taking place."

"The world has changed dramatically, and its effects are felt across every business and industry imaginable," Kirby concluded. "Property management teams are spread thin, and finding qualified staff is even more of a challenge in today's market. Given the immense size of the modern-day rental market, it is crucial that multifamily housing operators leverage next generation technologies to not only better serve their renters, but also supplement their workforce."
