Primary Reasons for BI Attrition (Ranked)

1 Customer leaves RealPage platform (~50% retained)

Customer brings reporting in-house to achieve more


2
flexibility (Usually retain BIX business if OneSite customer)

Customer wants additional integrations that BI doesn’t


3 currently provide

4 Lack of adoption

Initiative Overview: PII Security Enhancements
Execution Readiness: Some unknowns around specific tooling and broader corporate strategy. Need to work with Infosec and legal to finalize detailed requirements

In Scope:
• PII enhancements to me US, state, and Canadian requirements
Execution Approach
• Full catalog of all tables in BI with documentation of PII and sensitive data
• Implementation of data purging and encryption tooling
• Implementation of process to manage PII and sensitive data for new datasets and integrations • Inventory all (reporting and non-reporting)
• Development of mechanism to mask current and historical PII when requested by owner (resident)
tables within BI for data points that fall in
scope of data points needing remediation (as
defined by Legal & InfoSec)
Out of Scope:
• Data points in non-reporting tables
• Data decryption processes (TBD) ONLY will be purged and removed
• Enhancements to meet European requirements (Need to determine how we handle the couple UK instances that exist) from loads
• Process to manage data masking/purging requests (This needs to be handled as a corporate process) • Data points in reporting tables that
provide no value to clients/reporting
Dependencies: will be removed (clients will be notified)
• Clean, human-readable (no legalese) definitions of the data types that require remediation • Data points that appear in
• Support and complete requirements from InfoSec & Legal (Need by July 1)
reports/product that are valuable to
clients will be managed per the options
• Process management for data masking determined and handled by InfoSec and Legal
from Legal & InfoSec (may require
client notification)
Target Completion of Detailed Requirements: July 15

Owner: Product – Sindhu Thottan, Engineering – Adam Gulbranson

Resourcing Requirements:
• Fill open reqs for 1st phase of work: 1 offshore BA (50% allocation), 1 offshore ETL developer (Need by July 31)
• Onboard offshore contractors for 1st phase of work: 1 ETL developer, 1 QA/QE (Need by July 31)
• Allocate internal resources for 2nd phase of work; 1 internal ETL developer, 1 QA/QE (50% allocation) (Need by October 30)
• Onboard offshore contractors for 2nd phase of work: 1 ETL developer, 1 QA/QE (Need by October 30)

Initiative Overview: Data Feed Failure Alerting Solution
Execution Readiness: Objectives and most data points for statusing are known. Some work completed in prior quarters. Specific
tooling still needs to be determined

In Scope: (Project will have phased releases with financial integrations targeted first to meet Avenue 5 requirements)
• Extendable technical framework to evaluate integration failures and data issues. Focus of work will be current BI and
benchmarking integrations but solution must be extendable to both other D&A solutions as well as new BI integrations
• Automated customer/services integration status reporting and alerting tied into AO platform
Execution Approach
• Automated root cause analysis and resolution recommendations delivered to users through solution where possible
• Financial, Marketing, and Delinquency integration for all PMS supported by BI. • Build new “page” within BI Portal application
to share findings from financial and other 3rd
Out of Scope:
party data processing
• “Page” provides client with the history
• Specific development for solutions other than BI and benchmarking. Framework will be designed to be extendable but work to
adapt to other solutions will not be completed
of file/API response processing
• Answers what was processed,
• TBD: Support for RealPage ancillary solutions. Not prioritized for 1st phase. Will be adding to project pending completion of
other deliverables and if available resourcing allows for scope increase when containing what data
• Operational integrations that pass through YSMaster
(summary metadata about the
file)
• Manually produced files uploaded to BI through the Portal by the client
• “Page” provides simple findings that are
based on the implemented properties
Dependencies: • E.g., Which (provisioned)
• Client and services engagement to refine specific alerting and statusing outputs (Need by July 1) properties we’re not included in
yesterday’s processing? Which
Target Completion of Detailed Requirements: July 15 periods no data exists for?

Owner: Product – Sindhu Thottan, Engineering – Adam Gulbranson

Resourcing Next Steps:


• Allocate internal resources: 1 Java developer, 1 QA/QE (Need by July 31)
• Onboard offshore contractors: 1 BA, 1 Java developer, 2 database developers, 1 QA/QE (Need by July 31)

Initiative Overview: Lease Level Drill Reporting for Benchmarking
Execution Readiness: Scope and detailed requirements defined. Initial set of stories assigned

In Scope:
• Lease validation report for operational KPIs in STARS Analytics and Performance Analytics
• Dashboard drill through from operational KPIs to supporting lease level data for STARS Analytics
Execution Approach
• TBD: Dashboard drill through from operational KPIs to supporting lease level data for Performance Analytics (TBD based on
STARS Analytics strategy) • Develop report that flags leases used in
operational KPI calculations and identifies
exceptions
Out of Scope:
• Build a report parameter screen that allows
• Custom reporting capabilities users to select specific periods, KPIs and
• Drill through reporting for non-Operational metrics (e.g. Financial, marketing, etc) configuration options to see the lease detail
for specific KPI calculations and
configurations
Dependencies:
• Add drill through capability from the STARS
• Services and customer input on a few outstanding configuration decisions Analytics and Performance Analytics
dashboards that displays the leases and lease
Target Completion of Detailed Requirements: Complete exceptions associated with the KPIs that a
user clicks on

Owner: Product & Engineering– Merlin Moncure

Resourcing Next Steps:


• Allocate internal resources: 1 BA (25% allocation), 1 full stack developer, 1 database developer (75% allocation), 1 QA/QE
(Complete)

Initiative Overview: Entrata Integrations
Execution Readiness: Scope and detailed requirements defined. Need to complete assessment of current Entrata endpoints to
determine if they meet requirements for BI

In Scope: (Project will have phased releases with first integrations targeted to meet 29th Street requirements)
• Entrata API integration for marketing KPIs aligned to spec for current Yardi and Resman integrations Execution Approach
• Entrata API integration for delinquency KPIs aligned to spec for current Yardi and Resman integrations
• Entrata API integration for facilities aligned to spec for current RealPage facilities integration
• Marketing:
• Incorporation of Entrata integrations into integration statusing solution
• Review data sourced by Revenue
Mgmt & confirm accurate to PMS
Out of Scope: reporting
• Other Entrata integrations • Load into BI’s existing marketing data
• New KPIs, widgets, and reports domain
• Support for Student and Affordable (Focus is Conventional only) • Delinquency, Facilities:
• Define API end points required for
collection of required data points
Dependencies: (Requires Entrata’s documentation
• Coordination of marketing integration work with Revenue Management and/or assistance)
• Engagement with Entrata to determine data availability and optimal methods of integration (Some risk to timeline if Entrata • Build API sourcing within existing
needs to make changes to their endpoints for the integrations to work) tooling to maximize existing
implementations workflows
Target Completion of Detailed Requirements: August 12 • Load sourced data into BI’s existing
delinquency and facilities domains
Owner: Product – Darlene Liu, Engineering – Adam Gulbranson
