Campus Technologies, Inc - Delivering The Promise of New Technology
Philadelphia, PA, August 9, 2001
Uncertainty and inconvenience - two words associated with telecommunication services that promise more than they can provide. Today more than ever, telecommunications services are boosting the case and convenience of one-stop-shopping services to owners and residents of multi-tenant real estate communities. Unfortunately, many such companies have failed to follow through successfully with such promises. There is however one company in the Philadelphia area that brings a pragmatic and effective solution to recover such failed ventures and unfulfilled promises and who can deliver stability, top-notch telecommunications services and customers satisfaction - Campus Technologies, Inc (CTI).
Campus Technologies, Inc. was founded when CEO David Adelman, also President of University City based Campus Apartments, saw the need for close integration of technology services such as high speed Internet, digital cable and telephone, with other systems used in the real estate industry and with real estate operating and management. With the recruitment of Andrew Marshall as Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, the precise fit of real estate and technology was in place and CTI began to gain recognitions as one of the new breed of stable focused companies, that will deliver on the promise of new technology.
There are a variety of ways in which CTI can assist owners of multi-tenant real estate: First, CTI can build an individualized program for the owner to implement and manages such services themselves. This program can be designed to work with the property's environment - encompassing everything from selection of hardware and communication vendors, marketing and technical training, customer service training, pricing and competitive analysis and billing software. The objective of this option is to allow property owners to be self-sufficient in their own telecommunications businesses, which in turn results in offering tenants more efficient, effective and affordable services.
Second, if the property owner feels more comfortable with a gentle introduction or who want to outsource various components, CTI can provide any of the ongoing services on behalf on a fee basis - services such as supplier management, project management, billing or customer services.
Campus Technologies Inc is a subsidiary of Campus Apartments Inc.
