Vaporware, Frankenstein, Whac-A-Mole – Three reasons why you should always do your due diligence before investing in commercial real estate asset management software.
When choosing commercial real estate software, beware of Frankenstein
You’ve heard about vaporware – software that is pitched as a completed platform, but is still missing critical components or is in a nascent beta stage.
But have you ever heard of Frankenstein software? It’s a monster that is plaguing commerical real estate asset managers everywhere.
What is Frankenstein software?
Frankenstein software is what happens when firms take existing pieces of software or functionality, stitch them together, and pitch it as a brand-new product. Think of it as a form of vaporware – it exists, but it exists as a collection of ill-matched components.
When the components don’t play well with each other, then you’re playing Whac-A-Mole. Problems are popping up like mechanical gophers, and you and your IT team are wasting time and money trying to smack them down.
