Overview
Getting your Yardi program right
Yardi implementations are more complex than most organisations expect. The platform is powerful, but configuring it to fit your organisation — your asset classes, your team structures, your processes — takes experience that goes well beyond technical knowledge.
We’ve delivered Yardi programs for some of the region’s largest property organisations, as well as mid-market and independent operators. We understand what makes implementations succeed and, just as importantly, what causes them to struggle. That experience shapes how we approach every engagement.
Whether you’re implementing Yardi for the first time, upgrading to a new version, or looking to recover a program that hasn’t gone to plan — we can help.
Program Types
The programs we support
Every implementation is different. The benefit of experience isn’t a template to follow — it’s knowing where to focus attention, where to challenge assumptions, and where delivery risks are most likely to emerge. We tailor that experience to your organisation, your timeline, and where you are in your Yardi journey.
01
Initial Implementations
Deploying Yardi for the first time — from scoping and requirements through to a platform that’s configured, validated, and adopted with confidence. We work alongside your team to ensure the system reflects how your business actually operates.
02
Multi-phase Programs
Larger organisations often implement Yardi in stages — rolling out modules, entities, or regions over time. We strengthen program governance and delivery confidence at every stage, so momentum holds across the full lifecycle.
03
Platform Resets
When an existing Yardi environment isn’t working as it should — whether due to a poor initial configuration, a change in business structure, or accumulated workarounds — a structured reset can rebuild the foundation.
From our track record — Implement
One recent program spanned leasing, finance, procure-to-pay, and multiple system integrations — delivered as one coordinated team, phase by phase, without a compromised release.
Platform Upgrades
Upgrades & version migrations
Yardi’s platform has evolved significantly — from Voyager 7s through to Elevate and Version 8. Each generation brings new capability, but also real complexity in how existing configurations, customisations, and integrations need to be managed through the transition.
We have hands-on experience delivering upgrades across the Yardi platform suite. We understand the technical and functional implications of each version, and we know the points in the process where things most commonly go wrong.
Our upgrade engagements are scoped carefully — assessing your current environment, identifying risks early, and structuring the program to minimise disruption to your operations.
Voyager 7s — configuration review and upgrade planning for existing Voyager environments.
Elevate — transition planning and delivery support for organisations moving to the Elevate platform.
Version 8 — end-to-end upgrade delivery including impact assessment, testing, and cutover.
Cafes & portals — implementation and upgrade support for VendorCafe, CommercialCafe, and related modules.
From our track record — Run & Evolve
See it in practice: a phased Version 8 rollout — evaluated, tested, and delivered with confidence, not risk.
What We Provide
How we support your program
We can lead your implementation end-to-end, or provide targeted experienced support and advice at the points where you need it most.
Program & Project Management
Full delivery leadership when you need it — Project Director, Project Manager, and Stream Leads — or targeted support and advice where it’s needed most. Clear plans, honest reporting, and accountability at every stage.
Business Analysis & Requirements
Property-focused requirements gathering and process design — ensuring the system is configured to reflect how your business actually works and can be improved and transformed.
Testing & Quality Assurance
Structured test management led by dedicated Test Managers — including test strategy, planning, UAT and defect governance — backed by proven test frameworks and script libraries, so you go live with confidence, not with fingers crossed.
Risk & Issue Management
Proactive identification and management of delivery risks — with clear escalation paths and practical mitigation strategies.
Stakeholder Management
Structured engagement across your business, IT, and vendor teams — keeping everyone aligned and informed throughout delivery.
Cutover & Post Go-live Support
Carefully managed cutover planning, user guides, and hands-on training — plus stabilisation support until the system is working and the team is confident.
Our Approach
How we run implementations
A structured, four-phase delivery model — built around your organisation, not a generic playbook.
01
Scope & Define
Understanding your organisation, your environment, and what success looks like before a line of configuration is written.
02
Configure & Build
Configuration by experienced practitioners, with ongoing alignment checks — so issues are caught early, not at UAT.
03
Test & Validate
Structured testing from integration through to user acceptance — so the decision to go live is backed by evidence, not optimism.
04
Go-live & Stabilise
Managed cutover and hands-on post go-live support until operations are stable and the team is confident.
Every program is backed by senior oversight — whether we are leading delivery end-to-end or staying close with hands-on guidance and assurance — including John Nelson (Principal, 12+ years Yardi), Effie Nikolaros (9+ years Yardi) and Renay Tindale (18+ years Yardi).
Program Recovery
When programs need to get back on track
Not every Yardi program runs to plan. Timelines slip, scope expands, and confidence erodes. When that happens, an experienced, objective perspective can restore control and rebuild momentum.
We’ve helped organisations stabilise and recover programs at various stages — from early warning signs through to critical situations. Our approach is direct and practical: understand what’s happening, identify what needs to change, and build a credible path forward.
Signs a program may need support
Timelines that keep slipping without clear explanation
Scope that has grown significantly since the program started
Testing that is uncovering significant configuration issues
Business stakeholders losing confidence in the delivery
Program reporting that doesn’t reflect what’s actually happening
From our track record — Assure
We’ve reset scope, refocused teams, and brought delivery back on track for clients under real pressure.
