If you have worked in the MLS world as long as I have you know how many moving parts there are in terms of technology to run the organization effectively. With the creation of RETS, the so called “standard", the use of multiple modules to provide services has increased even more. What has been obvious to me for many years looking at the industry’s technology, however, is that no one has done a good job of pulling all of the important data points together for the MLSs so they can run their organizations more effectively.

Accounting and membership systems manage member information and allow for billing while call tracking systems, if in place, allow MLSs to track user interactions. MLS websites reach out to consumers and may provide valuable analytics on search behavior. But, with few exceptions, these systems and products really don’t share data.
