The Building Owners and Managers Association of the Greater Toronto Area (BOMA Toronto) honoured Bentall and RefinedData with the BOMA Pinnacle Award for Innovation

TORONTO, Ontario. — April 30, 2009 — The Building Owners and Managers Association of the Greater Toronto Area (BOMA Toronto) honoured Bentall and RefinedData with a Pinnacle Award for Innovation at the Celebrating Excellence 2009 Gala held Thursday, April 23rd at the Liberty Grand Entertainment Complex. BOMA is an international membership organization that helps building owners and managers maximize profits, ensure tenant satisfaction and enhance asset values for investors through market intelligence, education, networking, and government advocacy.

The Pinnacle Award for Innovation is given to a unique product or service offering for the commercial real estate market that facilitates client service and increases efficiency, productivity or revenue. The Bentall and RefinedData won the award for BORiS, The Bentall Online Risk Information System, which was designed and built by RefinedData using the RefinedEnvironment software platform. BORiS is a cost effective web-based software application that streamlines environmental management, regulatory compliance and reporting information for real estate portfolios.

“We are delighted to have won this award with Bentall. Receiving recognition from BOMA is a great honour” said Hugh Molyneux, Vice President of Business Development for RefinedData. “The project was a testament to what is possible when Software Company with specialized expertise teams with an industry leader to develop an innovative software product”. Rob Daciw, Director of Environmentall Services at Bentall says “The RefinedData solution makes complying with new and existing legislation much, much easier – we can analyze and report on critical environmental and health risk information in a snap”.

The benefits of BORiS to Bentall’s portfolio is that it provides real-time environmental risk management, it provides a method to centrally track and monitor incidents and follow-ups, and it provides a central repository of environmental documentation that can be accessed from any computer with internet access.  By making the reporting of environmental issues easier, it lowers the liability to property owners by allowing for timely response to incidents and spills.  By being able to search environmental issues related to properties, Bentall’s Environmental Services department can react quickly to new regulations and can be proactive when designing action plans.  Capital cost expenditures for items such as storage tank replacement can be planned well in advance since information on these items can be viewed instantly.

BORIS was constructed on a Refined Data enterprise grade database platform that is both highly customizable and flexible.  It allows for easy modification and addition of modules that evolve along with the company and its business requirements.  The relatively low cost for this flexibility allows affordable risk management for both large and mid-sized companies.
