We want to be your guide to implementing Yardi
We offer a wide range of Yardi services to allow your organization to use your software more effectively. Our team takes time to listen to your unique needs and strives to understand the way you do business to assist with the selection, implementation, training, and support of core and ancillary Yardi products.
Our Company
Syllogistic Management Solutions was formed in February 2010 by a group of passionate people with years of experience in property management and in implementing Yardi Voyager. We started with a vision that differs from most consulting companies and built from there. Our business is founded on the following:
-
We believe Yardi Voyager is the best property management software platform in the business, and we’ve built our company on that. When you identify something as the best, you put everything behind it. When you work with someone from Syllogistic, you’re working with a Yardi expert. Because we only do Yardi, we can afford to know ALL things Yardi.
-
Different employees have different skill sets. Having the right person on the right task, rather than one or two people on all tasks, brings significant cost savings.
-
We take a different approach to consulting. Implementing an ERP system is an expensive decision, but like a car, once you drive it off the lot it starts depreciating. You wouldn’t think of skipping the oil changes on your car. Why would you skip the oil changes on your ERP system that costs 30 times as much? After the transition, we help you remain aware of upgrades, new modules, and other opportunities to continue to enhance the value of your system, all without a monthly subscription.
-
We can continue helping you as your system matures and ages, keeping it tuned up, onboarding new employees and properties, and moving to new versions. We believe a system should be able to last for life if you want; we can help you maintain it, so it does just that. Nobody sets out with a new system with the intention of replacing it in ten years, but skipping the “oil changes” sets you up for just that. A good maintenance plan will pay off ten times over. We earn Clients for the long haul and can tailor our services to your specific short- and long-term needs, whether two hours a year or two hundred.
Services
Selecting a consultant can be a difficult process, and having a good understanding of what you are facing in an implementation often requires the ability to foretell the future. Whether you choose a full-service implementation or just to hire a guide for your journey, we can fill any role you choose, and as the journey continues and you learn more, we can adapt to take on more, or less, responsibility.
Implementation decisions are frequently driven by price. Choosing a fixed-price engagement ensures you will get a fixed solution that will be the best solution for the consultant, but not necessarily the best for your company. Choosing the flexibility of time and materials entails some cost risk but puts the power to control your implementation in your hands. You get exposure to what other Yardi Clients have done, as well as analysis of best practices and the choice of which ones to adopt based on others experience. You choose where to compromise on cost, and where to compromise on functionality. We offer you that flexibility.
Our goal is to help you go into this project eyes-wide-open, so the estimate included with this proposal tries to cover all the bases.
Implementation
Our goal is to guide our Clients through your journey to your new ERP system. You made the choice of Yardi because you are looking for increased efficiency and productivity. The key to transitioning smoothly to Yardi is planning, communication, and bringing the lessons of experiences of others to the job at hand. With 150 successful implementations to our credit, we will help you get there.
-
Our goal is to see Clients realize increased efficiency and productivity and a good return on their software investment by using Yardi to its full potential. We encourage you to implement the entire program - not just the minimum to get up and running.
The keys to a smooth transition to Yardi are planning, communication, and bringing the lessons of experience to the job at hand.
We have a mature project management methodology built around the Design-Build methodology of the real estate development industry. We emphasize a hands-on approach to implementing your system. We deliver most of our services remotely to preserve your budget for implementation rather than travel and hotels.
We bring the experiences of hundreds of Clients to your implementation while helping you to tailor your Yardi instance to your business’s specific needs.

Are you happy with what you are getting out of your Yardi system today? Do you want to get more out of what you have already bought? Do you think there is more out there? Even though you are already on Yardi, you may want help getting to where our other Clients are today.

SMS was instrumental in helping us work through the entire design, implementation, and all the decision points along the way. Their expertise in understanding Yardi and our business was extremely valuable. They have a great team with a deep bench and have always been easy to work with. I know many of my counterparts at other companies use SMS as well, and all have had great experiences. I highly recommend SMS as a trusted partner.

We are a fully integrated owner/operator of industrial real estate that hired Syllogistic when we had a very short window to get Yardi up and running for our company. The results we have gotten have been incredibly positive for our business and made the transition during a stressful time much easier, and they continue to help day in and day out by making sure everything is up and running.

WCS had a very aggressive schedule and limited experience with software conversions. From the first meeting we had with Syllogistic Management Solutions, we had a high comfort level that they would be able to take us to the finish line. The management team and technical team were all terrific, and their knowledge of both our legacy system and the new system was outstanding. We are so happy we selected the right group to lead our project.
