   "Managers and owners need an information system that provides more information on the geographic demographics of area such as pinpointing what types of consumers will occupy the region in the future," says Steve Casner, vice president of sales/central at Chicago-based Quantra Corp., formerly Melson Technologies. "In the past, systems were focused primarily on financial performance, but now landlords also need to track items outside the retail environment - what`s the median income in the surrounding area, what`s the education level, what are the typical potential job market changes in the local economy dependent on one major employer and what happens if that employer leaves."
   
   The owner`s relationship with the tenant is very important because the owner`s exposure and risk is much higher than it has ever been, Casner says.

   According to Quantra's Steve Casner, senior vice president of product marketing, Pro-Ject allows developers, brokers, appraisers, lenders, property managers and investors to estimate real estate values through sophisticated cashflow models. The standard templates, he says, accelerate the valuation of most office, retail and mixed-use properties and can be modified to impose corporate standards.
   
   "This full-function application adds all the benefits of operating in the Windows environment," Casner says. "Intuitive, easy-to-use interface with spreadsheet style input for property assumptions, easy access to multiple windows, icon and drop-down lists and fast editing are just a few of those benefits," he says. Windows standard printing features and on-line help also add to the versatility of the product.
   
   Existing Pro-Ject users can quickly migrate to the Windows version for two reasons, according to Casner. "Their knowledge and training in Pro-Ject remains intact, and the data model is identical to Pro-Ject+," he says. Pro-Ject for Windows provides a low-risk, simple transition into a Windows environment while still maintaining complete and seamless compatibility with all other industry Pro-Ject+ users, he says.
   
   Casner maintains Pro-Ject's position as an industry standard for cashflow projections, too. "Users can model any combination of office, industrial, retail, apartment and mixed-use property types," he says. The software generates a full range of reports, from present value and consolidated cashflows all the way down to tenant-by-tenant, item-by-item reports. General debt and participations also may be added to a project and a yield analysis may be prepared from the perspective of either the lender, participant or equity investor.
   
   Other powerful features of Pro-Ject for Windows include detailed reporting, sophisticated sensitivity analysis and integration of other software. "A wide variety of reports and presentation options provide the user with flexibility and promote well-informed investment decisions," Casner says.
