"Sheffield Hallam University's Real Estate degree programme contains a module devoted to Property Information Systems. This involves an examination of the design, implementation and use of computer systems for property applications.

Students on this module have the opportunity to use leading systems, such as ARGUS Developer. The structure, flexibility and ease-of-use of this package enables students quickly to explore their development proposals for project work, with the minimum amount of time spent learning the system.

The tutors at the university place emphasis on the importance of understanding the appraisal concepts and the need to model development schemes. ARGUS Developer provides an ideal basis to achieve this, with its logical data input procedures plus straightforward sensitivity testing features."

"ARGUS Software's products are used by both our undergraduate and post graduate students. Following a lecture by the ARGUS Software representative on how to use the programs, the students are set coursework requiring them to use ARGUS Valuation - Capitalisation for a portfolio analysis project where they create their own portfolio of real properties, using the software to value and analyse. They also use ARGUS Developer for a development project. The ability to use ARGUS Software's products has certainly proved to be an added bonus on their CV's when looking for a job."

"ARGUS Software programs are extremely versatile teaching aids which can be used to demonstrate basic principles and real world complex appraisals at under- and post graduate levels."

"At Kingston University we realise that equipping our students with the skills that employers need is one of our top priorities. As ARGUS Software is now the industry standard in the UK, training on the ARGUS Valuation - Capitalisation and Developer packages now forms a fundamental component of our Real Estate courses."

"ARGUS Valuation - Capitalisation has enabled us to transform our property valuation to an industry standard, familiar and easy-to-learn format. It has allowed us to carry out investment appraisals and sensitivity analysis more efficiently, to transfer the information more easily and so improve our investment decision process. Combined with ARGUS Software's ease of use and responsive support arrangements - we have found that ARGUS Valuation - Capitalisation has lived up to its reputation as the market leader in this area."

"ARGUS Software plays a vital role in providing key management information and formulating fund strategy."

"By using ARGUS Developer we will have made 15Mio Euro next year and advised our clients better. Not bad for the cost of the software!"

"Without a doubt, ARGUS Developer is the most robust development analysis program we've found. The time it takes us to analyze a deal has been cut by eighty percent since we moved to ARGUS Developer, which means we're that much quicker to make an offer or move on to the next one. It's hard to understand how we got along without it."

"We now rely upon the detailed and flexible services that ARGUS Developer provides to our development appraisals. We have been using the package for almost two years and we will continue to do so as the flow of commercial development and re-development opportunities steadily increases in the region. The bulk of our clients are the major European financing institutions who now expect the quality reporting that ARGUS Developer can offer."

"In my opinion ARGUS Valuation - Capitalisation is a very functional and robust investment tool with the benefits of regular updates and strong customer support."

"HBG Properties has been using ARGUS Valuation - Capitalisation for about 12 years and has been impressed by its ability to adapt to our needs as our business grows. Where we identified problems Valuation - Capitalisation found solutions and where we set tasks Valuation - Capitalisation rose to the challenge. Valuation - Capitalisation, I find is frequently in use by our Consultants as it becomes their system of choice and this is helpful."

"We are a growing division within an established public company and as such it is important to have in place a sound feasibility tool to ensure our business runs smoothly. ARGUS Developer has certainly proven to be just that and more in regard to purchase feasibility analysis, staged development and ongoing business management. We see a healthy ongoing relationship with ARGUS Software as Central Equity Land develops."

"We've worked closely with ARGUS Software for over eight years and we've been impressed by their professionalism and commitment to innovation. ARGUS Valuation - Capitalisation, in my opinion, has become the industry standard for property valuation software"

"I find ARGUS Valuation - Capitalisation an invaluable tool on a day-to-day basis. Its flexibility is particularly useful to me as I have been able to adapt it specifically for European valuation work. It is also good for clients - it is in a clear format, contains a lot of information, and is transparent. Plus it enables me to transfer files to them which allows them to see further detail, which they appreciate.

ARGUS Valuation - Capitalisation is also very reliable from a Quality Assurance point of view, avoiding the problems which can be experienced with spreadsheets, when all users must fully understand how the background calculations work. Finally I believe Valuation - Capitalisation is extremely good because the product is constantly being upgraded and developed in direct response to the requirements of us, the users. "

"I have been using excel spreadsheets in the area of Investment analysis for over 10 years. Like a lot of people, I have become frustrated with spreadsheets especially when detailed analysis is required. Anyone who is experienced in feasibility preparation will see the benefits of ARGUS Developer immediately. The benefits detailed in the promotional videos are actually true (that is rare).

I believe ARGUS Developer's main strengths are, the ability to be as simplistic or as detailed as required, the flexibility to add costs and revenues and distribute them under any scenario, consolidating phases of projects, updating project start dates, easy to use sensitivity analysis and last but not least a flexible debt and equity analysis module.

This all translates to time saving in computation work and allows me to spend more time on proving up the assumptions that form the basis of the analysis. The customer support has also been excellent. I would have no hesitation in recommending ARGUS Developer. "

"At ATIS Real Weatheralls we have one of the largest valuation teams in the UK and have been using ARGUS Valuation - Capitalisation for over 10 years. It was our original choice of valuation software and we were delighted to contribute to the original User Group. It is now the leading valuation system also most favoured by the majority of our high profile clients, such as The British Land Company plc. It has enabled us to increase our efficiency in a very competitive environment. We particularly like the ability to download and email data directly to our clients and IPD. As active members of the User Group we have found ARGUS Software to be increasingly receptive to our ever-evolving requirements and suggestions for its future development."

"We have found ARGUS Developer simple and intuitive to learn, with flexibility to create models that can be as simple or as detailed as necessary."
