Modern multi-family property management and development companies face unique IT challenges. They oversee multiple apartment communities, rely on specialized real estate software, and must provide reliable tech amenities to staff and residents—all while controlling costs and keeping data secure. Yet many mid-sized property firms lack dedicated in-house IT expertise. Airspeed IT fills that gap by providing managed IT services tailored to the real estate industry. We offer both fully managed IT (acting as your outsourced IT department) and co-managed IT (partnering with your in-house IT staff) to ensure your properties’ technology is efficient, secure, and cost-effective.
IT Challenges for
Property Management Companies
Downtime disrupts operations: Apartment management offices depend on internet, phones, and software to serve residents. If a network goes down or a server fails, leasing agents and tenants feel the impact immediately. Supporting multiple properties and remote sites without delays is a constant pressure.
Complex software ecosystem: Property managers and developers rely on numerous applications—leasing portals, accounting systems, construction project tools—that must work together seamlessly. A glitch in the property management software or an integration issue can halt tenant onboarding, stall financial reporting, or delay project timelines. Protecting sensitive resident data and financial information from cyber threats is equally critical, as a breach could jeopardize your reputation and legal compliance.
Modern resident amenities and security: Today’s communities offer tech amenities like business center kiosks, free community Wi-Fi, smart locks, and IP security cameras. Maintaining these amenities means managing public-facing computers and wide-area Wi-Fi networks, and ensuring security systems (cameras, electronic locks) stay online and secure. It’s a challenge to keep everything running smoothly and safe from tampering without a capable IT partner.
Overcoming these challenges requires a proactive, knowledgeable IT partner who understands real estate’s unique needs.
