Matrix Progression: November 15
As you
know, MLSListings will move forward with the sunset of Pro Search effective
November 15, 2011.This Progression to
Matrix has been over three years in the making, at the direction of our Board
of Directors and with the guidance and involvement of our multiple advisory
groups, Association stakeholders and with the feedback of agent and broker
subscribers.
I am
grateful for everyone who has participated in this process as we developed the
Matrix application, helping ensure it meets the needs of our customers and
aligns with the business practices in our marketplace.
The MLS of
the 21st century must do more than manage listing data. Tracking and
accommodating marketplace changes with real-time statistical tools, and taking
the lead in shaping region-wide initiatives that ensure our subscribers’ policy
and technical needs are met are critical to providing maximum value to our
customers. This solution best positions us to keep our subscribers competitive
not only today, but in the years ahead.You can be proud of the world-class development, service and support
teams that have worked tirelessly to deliver the best value possible at every
stage of this Progression.
We have
developed a Progression Guide with the general
information most customers will be looking for in these final weeks before
November 15, and in the weeks beyond the cutover:
-Overview and FAQs
-Day 1: Where to go for training and
resources
-Subscriber feedback in action:
what’s new in Matrix
-Matrix after November 15: Key
features to help save time and money
I encourage
you to review this information with your agents, and contact me if you have
additional questions or if we can provide additional support. I know I speak
for our entire team at MLSListings in expressing our deep appreciation for our
ongoing working relationship.Together,
we provide the best real estate service in the country to our customers, and
will continue to do so in the years ahead.
