A New Era in Residential Sales, Lettings and Property Management Software for Estate & Lettings Agents
We are now experiencing a real change in the world of Information Technology. The next few years will see us moving further away from desktop computing and into the new era of cloud computing. This is not just a term to describe access to software applications via the web, indeed these have been around for 10 years or more. What we are seeing now is a world where the type of hardware you use is largely irrelevant, where operating systems are replaced by the Internet, where applications and their associated data reside in the "ether" and are looked after by professionals, where the boundaries between computers and devices such as mobile phones become blurred, where printed output becomes almost redundant and where we are all constantly connected to the Internet. A world where we can conduct our business whenever and wherever we want. This is what we mean by cloud computing and it forms the foundation and rationale for Aspasia Cloud. Traditional Aspasia was ground breaking in offering a fully integrated web based residential property application where it didn't exist before, now Aspasia Cloud moves the bar higher again.  There really is no other product that is so completely engineered for today's digital age and long term agency success. Aspasia Cloud is not just an upgrade. It is totally new and has been created to provide agents with a path into the new digital era where success will rely on innovation and change. More.... A couple of examples....  Communications: Email is now the world's standard communications medium and Aspasia Cloud has its own integrated Google based email system so that all outgoing and incoming email is handled from within Aspasia itself. The automatic filing of customer emails without the need to cut and paste sets Aspasia Cloud apart from competitor products and makes agents so much more efficient. Moreover all correspondence can be shared online as is appropriate and use can be made of features such as live messaging, video chats, etc. Online Customer Interactions: Examples include optional facilities whereby applicants employ fully automated online procedures to handle the entire recording of their own personal information, requirements, matching processes and viewing arrangements in the comfort of their own homes, and at a time to suit themselves, all under the agency umbrella and monitored by negotiators who intervene as and when is necessary. The whole lettings and property management arena lends itself especially to these more modern semi and fully automated techniques which are being gradually introduced as Aspasia Cloud moves through its various releases. |  Aspasia Cloud running on Google's Nexus One mobile phone. Not just an "app" with limited functionality but the full software solution in its entirety. Update information using inbuilt voice recognition software! More.... If you have an Internet connection you can run the full Aspasia Cloud software on any device that has a browser. Realistically, an iPhone or Nexus One sized device will allow you to use the full version of the software albeit with a degree of scrolling, alternatively use Google's mobile device interface for more limited displays. Wherever you are and whatever you are doing Aspasia Cloud is always available offering you live data and allowing you to input information on the spur of the moment.  Re-think how you conduct your business and communicate with your customers in a fashion more akin to the modern generation and how they have grown up at school or university. Chat to them live online or engage in a video chat at no cost to you or them whatsoever. Suddenly your level of service to your customers improves and you really begin to break down the poor public image of agents often mentioned in the media. Moreover, sieze the opportunity to review again how you charge for your services. Consider employing automated interactions with your customers where traditional fee levels would have denied you the instruction or hang on to familiar methods where they are more appropriate. Now you have the choice. Most of all Aspasia Cloud offers the agent the ability to survive and prosper in the new digital age which is beginning to threaten the more traditional ways of doing things. Everything in life eventually changes and we need to adapt to survive and prosper. Agents have every hope of a long term future and an enhanced public perception by embracing modern technology.
