Test Drive any Product Free for 14 Days!


Columbus, OH (PRWEB) January 21, 2012

VerticalCloud, a provider of complete cloud-based business solutions, announced today that it has achieved another milestone in the development and testing of VerticalCloud for Landlords, its highly anticipated online property management system expected for release to the public in June 2012. With laser focus on the user experience, the development team has engineered VerticalCloud with a keen eye for efficiency. In typical enterprise-Cloud IT development fashion, the owners of VerticalCloud have engaged residential property managers, landlords, and investors to participate in the user experience design of the software. The “voice of the property manager” drives the VerticalCloud for Landlords development and testing efforts.

The VerticalCloud for Landlords cloud-based platform was originally designed for the small rental portfolio owner, but was recently expanded to accommodate property management firms of all sizes.

Key features of VerticalCloud include:

Rental Advertising
Automated Rent Payment Processing (EFT, Credit Card, or Check Processing)
Tenant Screening & Background Checks
Management of Real Estate Documents
Dashboard View of Rental Properties
Tenant Portals and Community (“Meet your Neighbor!”)
Work Order Management Workflow
Email alerts and automated reminder phone calls to tenants
Landlord and Property Manager Community – Learn from one another!
Customizable Reports
24/7 Customer Support

“VerticalCloud for Landlords was designed to be the most user-friendly property management platform on the market today,” says Matt Angerer, CEO and Co-Founder of VerticalCloud. “We are able to offer more affordable price plans because our overhead is significantly lower than other property management software providers,” adds Angerer. “We have self-financed the development of VerticalCloud for Landlords without the need to take on outside investors. Therefore, we can pass the savings onto our customers – landlords and aspiring property management firms,” explains Angerer.

VerticalCloud and JMA Rentals LLC were unofficially formed in 2006 as a father/son venture to help market and advertise a small portfolio of family-owned rental properties. In early 2011, JMA ramped up its expansion efforts by bringing together technology leaders who have deep experience in online business software. “Our family was frustrated with the high cost of online property management systems on the market today,” explains Matt Angerer who owns and operates rental units with his father in Erie, Pennsylvania. “VerticalCloud for Landlords is a result of our frustration with high-cost, moderate quality property management systems. Our mission is to offer the most user-friendly system on the market at an affordable price point with the best customer service that a company can offer – 24/7,” adds Angerer.

“Small rental portfolio owners like me are expected to be on-call 24/7,” explains John Angerer. “I am the typical do-it-yourself type of landlord. I can’t afford to spend big bucks on property management systems that have 200 unit minimums or price gouge you on the ACH processing fees for online rent payments,” adds Angerer. “VerticalCloud provides the much needed balance that the rental property investment industry has been long awaiting in an online property management system. It is exactly what I needed and I’ve recommended RentCloud to anyone who owns rental properties,” concludes Angerer.

Balanced Web-based rental property software

VerticalCloud for Landlords, the first JMA Rentals SaaS product, has been designed to accommodate a myriad of rental property owners. The LandlordCloud was specifically designed for small and mid-sized do-it-yourself landlords. At $ 0.50 cents per unit, VerticalCloud for Landlords is the most affordable Web-based rental property software on the market today. It gives the do-it-yourself landlord exactly what he needs to get the job done. The best part is that it’s affordable and easy to use!

VerticalCloud for Property Managers is specifically designed for residential and commercial property managers. At $ 1.00 per unit, VerticalCloud for Property Managers balances all aspects of a property managers core functions like financials, reporting, tenant management, and work order requests. It’s familiar design and intuitive user experience puts landlords and property managers at the helm of their ship. Drill down reporting and customizable metrics define transparency for the property manager. You’ll find that VerticalCloud isn’t heavy on some system features and light on others. It is exactly what landlords and property managers need: balanced Web-based rental property software, in the cloud.

Headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, JMA Rentals LLC and VerticalCloud were founded by a team of technology and real estate practitioners with proven real-world experience in rental property management and online business software development. The synergy realized between the founders has resulted in the most affordable, balanced, easy to use, software-as-a-service known to rental property managers: VerticalCloud for Property Managers.

Henry Ford Health System Receives Prestigious Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award










Detroit, MI (PRWEB) November 23, 2011

Henry Ford Health System has been named a 2011 Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award recipient, one of the most prestigious national awards for performance excellence.

Henry Ford was one of only four 2011 recipients and the only organization in Michigan. An award ceremony is planned for April 2012.

“The Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award is a symbol of the highest standards of excellence, and we are extremely proud and humbled to have been selected,” says Nancy M. Schlichting, CEO of Henry Ford Health System.

“Participating in the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program has prepared Henry Ford to continue to serve our community, our State and our country with vision, innovation and a relentless focus on achieving world-class quality and service to our patients and their families, and providing the best workplace for our employees and physicians.”

“The Baldrige examiners saw what we recognize in our team members every day – that they are national role models for performance excellence who demonstrate pride and passion in what they do, continually striving for improvement,” says Schlichting.

“While we have repeatedly been acknowledged across the country for our clinical excellence, the Malcolm Baldrige Award also validates our business acumen, our energizing and focused organizational culture, and the role that Henry Ford Health System plays as a major influence on the economic and health transformation of our great city and state,” says Bob Riney,

President & Chief Operating Officer, Henry Ford Health System.

Named after the 26th Secretary of Commerce, the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award was established in 1987 by Congress to promote quality awareness, to recognize quality and business achievements of U.S. organizations, and to publicize these organizations’ successful performance strategies.

Now America’s highest honor for innovation and performance excellence, the Baldrige Award is a Presidential award presented annually to U.S. organizations by the office of the President of the United States. Awards are given to companies in manufacturing, service, small business, education, health care, and nonprofit sectors. In conjunction with the private sector, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) manages the award and the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program.

In a profile of Henry Ford, the Malcolm Baldrige examiners wrote:

● HFHS’s leaders model and support entrepreneurism throughout the health care delivery system, research operations, and the Health Alliance Plan. Innovative strategies and solutions have been developed and implemented for the past decade, helping reduce unintended patient harm and establishing a “zero-defect, no-excuses” approach to health care outcomes.

● Among the best-in-class innovations at HFHS: the Perfect Depression Program, which uses an evidenced-based, integrated approach to address chronic depression; Home Health Services, Pharmacy Advantage, and OptimEyes (optometry care) – all services with a retail presence to increase brand recognition and access to new customers; and the West Bloomfield “hospital model,” in which a new hospital was built from scratch with the active involvement of the community (resulting in a facility with features such as a Culinary Wellness Program and an innovative building design with a “Main Street” feel).

To apply for the award, organizations must submit details showing their achievements and improvements in seven key areas:

    leadership;
    strategic planning;
    customer focus;
    measurement; analysis and knowledge management;
    workforce focus;
    operations focus;
    results

Applicants receive 300 to 1,000 hours of review and a detailed report on the organization’s strengths and opportunities for improvement by an independent board of examiners.

Baldrige examiners visited Henry Ford in October, spending four days at three dozen medical sites throughout the system, interviewing leaders and more than 1,200 employees.

In June, Baldrige announced that there were a total of 40 applications within the health care industry this year and an additional 29 from other industries. In September, the panel of judges selected six health care applicants to receive site visits, as well as five organizations from outside of health care.

All of the applicants were evaluated rigorously by an independent board of examiners in the seven key areas.

Henry Ford Health System, one of the country’s largest health care systems, is a national leader in clinical care, research and education. It includes the 1,200-member Henry Ford Medical Group, five medical/surgical and two psychiatric hospitals, the Health Alliance Plan, 33 primary care centers and many other health-related entities throughout southeast Michigan. In 2010, Henry Ford provided nearly $ 200 million in uncompensated care. Henry Ford is a major economic driver in Michigan and employs more than 24,000 residents of Detroit’s Tri-County area. The health system is led by CEO Nancy Schlichting. To learn more, visit HenryFord.com
