April 17 2017
The world of commercial real estate technology is booming. Today's software developers appear to be limitless as to what problems they can solve, and new innovative companies seem to grow by the day. While modern technologies are a welcome change to most in the commercial real estate space, it has led many practitioners to declare, "I subscribe to several software systems. It would be terrific if they were all connected."
With this consistent mention from CRE professionals, naturally the right solution for tech companies to explore is integration. But before we can dive into this concept, it is important to understand how integrations are possible. An Application Programming Interface (API) is a software-to-software interface that allows separate programs to connect in a simple environment. In other words, this software concept allows for the seamless access of a user from one platform into another, or allowing a user access to portions of one software on another program's platform.
"Integrations are the wave of the future in software," says Bruce Kirsch, Founder and CEO of REFM. "Having an API has been on our product road map since day one of Valuate®. We believed then, and still do today, that inter-operability with other platforms is one of the things that makes and keeps a software platform valuable and relevant."
