Yardi Systems Renewal <br />September 4, 2012 <br />Page 2 <br />There are three nationally recognized providers of voucher management programs, including <br />Yardi, for housing authorities of a size similar to the Santa Ana Housing Authority. While all are <br />web-based applications, the user interface, workflow, and data exchange processes to support <br />payment check creation differ. It is cost-prohibitive to change vendors and retrain staff, re-enter <br />data, and customize new software to support the City's internal control requirements. The Housing <br />Authority's original housing program management software was developed by Nan McKay, Inc., <br />which in 2002 sold its program to Yardi Systems, Inc., and over the years has been customized to <br />serve the Housing Authority's requirements. The Yardi system is recognized as an industry <br />standard, chosen by Los Angeles County, Chicago, Portland, Sacramento, and other large public <br />housing authorities. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funds are available in the Housing Authority Other Contractual Services account (no. 14018760- <br />62300). <br />APPROVED AS TO FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS: <br />~~~ ..~~. <br />Shelly Landry-Bayle ;v <br />Housing Manager ~i <br />Community Development Agency <br />NTE/SLB/LF/kg <br />w <br />,{ <br />Y <br />Francisco Gutierrez <br />Executive Director <br />Finance & Management Services Agency <br />~~ <br />~,. <br />~~ <br />PREPARED BY: Linda Foster <br />Exhibit 1.
