Ocius to Demonstrate Advanced Mobile Apps for Apartment Residents at 2012 NMHC OpTech Technology Conference

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) November 12, 2012

Ocius, a leading provider of convergent billing and utility expense management solutions to the multifamily industry, today announced it is demonstrating the My Resident Network App for iOS and Android devices in booth #325 at the NMHC OpTech Conference & Expo, November 12 – 14 at the Hyatt Regency in Dallas.

Ocius is also showcasing its convergent billing and utility expense management services, and will be providing a preview of its soon-to-be released My Property Network℠, property management app that allows Apartment Managers to provide their renters with “anytime, anywhere” access to viewing and paying their monthly rent and utility charges.

My Resident Network App

The My Resident Network mobile app lets apartment residents setup a secure mobile account and pay their rent directly from their smart phone just as they would via the My Resident Network online web portal. Residents can view their current monthly statement, make rent payments, see their utility charges, and review other account information.

My Property Network App

The Ocius My Property Network App provides freedom, flexibility and mobility for busy property managers. Using the app, property managers can view their residents’ utility charges, approve and post resident payments directly to their ledgers, post community messages for residents through a virtual bulletin board, and send text and push messages to residents through a simple one click system. The My Property Network App saves time and improves the efficiency of the property manager’s front office, and strengthens relationships with residents.

“Property managers and residents have gone mobile in a big way. They want to be unchained from the office. With our new apps, they’ll be able to complete everything digitally anywhere they have cell reception or a Wi-Fi connection,” said Keith Nelson, chief operating officer for Ocius. “We’re excited to be able to provide our clients with the tools they need to improve their efficiency and better serve their residents.”

Availability / Compatibility

The My Resident Network mobile app for apartment residents was just released and is now available for iOS devices in the Apple App store and for Android devices from the Google play store. The My Property Network tablet app is scheduled for release in Q4 of this year.

Retail Customer Experience Releases Consumer Survey Results on Mobile Retail Apps

Louisville, KY (PRWEB) April 08, 2014

Pity the poor retailer: Just when they adapt to one disruptive technology, another comes forward to make them rethink their tactics yet again.

The most recent paradigm-shifter is the mobile application, and many retail executives still struggle to understand how to incorporate them into their user experience—or whether they should even bother.

The questions are worth asking. According to information technology research firm Gartner, mobile apps will have been downloaded 268 billion times by 2017. They will have generated $ 77 billion in revenue for their deployers. And users will be providing streams of personalized data to more than 100 apps and services a day — whether they know they are doing so or not.

Hoping to help retailers survive and thrive in the mobile app world, Retail Customer Experience and sister site Mobile Payments Today have published “Mobile Retail Apps and the Engaged Consumer.”

The 59-page report includes sections on best practices, commentaries by some of the leading minds in mobile retail applications, a directory of providers from multiple countries and of special interest, a survey of 1,000 consumers about their habits, preferences and recommendations when it comes to mobile apps in the retail space.

“Some of the results were really surprising to me,” said report author Joseph Grove, a veteran B2B journalist and former senior vice president and executive editor for the publisher of Retail Customer Experience. “For example, I didn’t expect to be the case that men were more likely than women to be heavy users of mobile retail apps, or that pharmacies would show up so strongly as a popular app category.”

The report includes data on mobile wallet and Passbook adoption, consumer concerns regarding mobile app data security, used and desired functionalities, and frustrations. The download of the report includes jpegs of many of the almost 70 charts and graphs, which readers have permission to share with co-workers or apply in presentations.

Commentaries include:


Mike Wittenstein, founder, Storyminers. ”The Push for Sophistication Must Drive Value, Function”
Chris McClain, executive vice president, Americas Strategic Industries, SAP. “Unlocking the Power of Mobile in Retail”
Jason Goldberg, vice president, Razorfish. “Mobile Apps Can Pay Off Big”
Jack Philbin, founder/CEO, Vibes. ”How to Ensure a Symbiotic Mobile Marketing Strategy.”

“Some of most common questions and popular stories are about retail mobile applications and how our readers can be successful with them. This report goes a long way to providing answers,” said James Bickers, senior editor of Retail Customer Experience.
