Altus Group to Offer RVA Clients Access to ARGUS Enterprise

TORONTO, ONTARIO — (Marketwired) — 09/17/13 — Altus Group Limited (TSX: AIF) (“Altus Group”) is pleased to announce that it will now offer clients of Research, Valuation & Advisory (“RVA”) the option of having appraisals completed using ARGUS Enterprise in addition to the previously available ARGUS Valuation DCF and ARGUS Asset Management. All three software solutions are offered by ARGUS Software Inc. (“ARGUS”), a division of Altus Group.

ARGUS Enterprise provides budgeting, forecasting, valuation, asset and portfolio reporting, sensitivity and structured finance functionality on one integrated and flexible platform. Over the past several months, consultants from RVA worked with the ARGUS Enterprise team to conduct a pilot platform in the valuation and appraisal management businesses.

“With over 70 implementations to date and growing, ARGUS Enterprise continues to gain momentum among our largest clients, due to its increased functionality and portfolio analysis enhancements,” said Colin Johnston, President, RVA Canada, Altus Group. “We believe this trend will continue as companies are increasingly looking for the holistic and data driven approach to managing commercial real estate assets provided by a solution such as ARGUS Enterprise.”

“The continued collaboration between RVA and ARGUS is reflective of the desire to integrate the groups and their solutions, thus better serving our clients globally,” said Robert K. Ruggles III, President, RVA USA, Altus Group.

RVA and ARGUS recently hosted senior appraisers from 18 of the leading national appraisal firms in the US for a two-day summit. These industry leading professionals completed hands-on training with ARGUS Enterprise. “Having participated in the ARGUS Enterprise Appraiser Summit, we see the benefits to our clients of moving to the next generation of ARGUS solutions,” said Douglas Stafford, Director of Business Innovation, Colliers International Valuation & Advisory Services. “With these tools, we collaborate on a daily basis with our clients and are excited to support them as the market moves to adopt ARGUS Enterprise.”

“We are pleased to offer our RVA clients the power of ARGUS Enterprise as they face increasingly complex real estate decisions. We believe our clients deserve the best service and solutions available, and this reinforces our commitment to bringing industry leading solutions to help them deliver great results,” said Bob Courteau, CEO, Altus Group.
