TORONTO, ONTARIO — (Marketwired) — 09/12/13 — ARGUS Software Inc. (“ARGUS”), a division of Altus Group Limited (“Altus Group”) (TSX: AIF) and the leading global provider of software solutions for the commercial real estate industry, today unveiled ARGUS Enterprise 9.5® (AE 9.5), the latest and most advanced version of the industry standard asset and investment management software platform. ARGUS also unveiled ARGUS Valuation DCF 16® (DCF 16) as a module of the ARGUS Enterprise platform, again setting the standard for the world-s most widely used application for discounted cash flow based commercial real estate valuation.

With over 80 clients now using ARGUS Enterprise across the globe, AE 9.5 significantly advances user productivity, risk management and decision-making for asset managers, portfolio managers, investors, lenders and other real estate professionals. With over 300 new features and functions, AE 9.5 offers sophisticated portfolio analytics and tools for performance measurement, attribution analysis and enhanced risk management.

Key features include:

“Customers have told us they are facing rising pressure to gain control of data and be more efficient in budgeting, planning and valuation. We have met that challenge with the releases of AE 9.5 and DCF 16. This marks the next generation of our industry standard platforms for valuation and asset management,” said Mike Abramsky, President, ARGUS. “This is a major milestone in helping our customers efficiently connect the growing volume of their data with their business processes, as well as linking the many participants in the commercial real estate industry.”

“The very nature of commercial real estate is shifting, forcing investment firms to more tightly and rapidly integrate rising amounts of data into key processes,” said Robert K. Ruggles III, President, RVA USA, Altus Group. “The improved efficiency afforded by AE 9.5 assures that asset managers- attention is focused on strategy rather than data manipulation.”

The release of DCF 16 represents the most significant upgrade yet of Valuation DCF, ARGUS- benchmark valuation application for commercial real estate, with over 90,000 users around the globe. DCF 16 has been reengineered for the way the industry works today, streamlining the management of multiple properties and portfolios, and supporting efficient decision making and scenario analysis.

Specific advances include:

AE 9.5, with the new DCF 16 module, continues to work with files in the prior ARGUS Valuation DCF format allowing for integration with legacy data and systems internally and with partners.
