OSCRE (the Open Standards Consortium for Real Estate, which was created earlier this autumn by the merger of PISCES in the UK and OSCRE Americas) today announced that Trace Solutions, a UK provider of property investment/management software, is now qualified to offer its BlueBox, TRAMPS and o6ix products as standards compliant solutions. OSCRE say the benefits include "enabling property investors to get new property portfolios up and running with greater speed offering a faster route to revenue generation. They will also be able to gather accurate valuation and management data at speed for improved portfolio and risk management and will have greater flexibility in their choice of managing agent, since by using a standards-based solution they will be able to communicate and transact data with any managing agent regardless of the software they are using."
