MRI Ascend is MRI Software's annual flagship user conference for clients, partners and industry leaders. The North American edition is the largest, with regional editions in APAC (Sydney), EMEA (London) and South Africa running earlier in the year. The 2026 North American conference is in Las Vegas, October 18–21, at the Caesars Forum Convention Center on the Strip. Registration, agenda, and hotel details are at mriusersconference.com.

Who attends. Ascend draws owners, operators, property managers, fund administrators, and occupiers across every MRI vertical: commercial, multifamily, affordable and public housing, investment management, facilities management, and corporate occupiers. Typical delegates include controllers, property accountants, directors of IT, business-systems managers, and operational leaders who sign off on technology budgets.

What the format looks like. Expect four pillars across the week:

1. General sessions and keynotes from MRI leadership covering strategy, roadmap, and the state of the industry.

2. Product sessions and training by module, many eligible for CPE credit. MRI is a registered NASBA CPE sponsor, with one credit per eligible 50-minute hour, which is a meaningful draw for accounting teams.

3. Client case studieswhere operators walk through how they solved a specific problem on MRI.

4. The partner expo, where MRI's solution and consulting partners demonstrate integrations, add-ons, and services. This is where you will find Assetsoft.

Why does Las Vegas 2026 matter more than usual? MRI has spent 2026 repositioning MRI Agora from an integration platform into the foundation for its AI strategy. The June launch of Agora Intelligence and Agora Orchestrator, the PMX 10.7 release, and the roll-out of Agora to APAC at Ascend Sydney in August all point to Las Vegas being the event where North American clients see the full picture for the first time. If you are planning a PMX upgrade, a migration from a legacy system, or an AI pilot in 2027, the decisions you make in the next twelve months will be shaped by what is announced here.

The official agenda is published closer to the event, but MRI's own framing for 2026 is clear: new integrations, expanded product features, unified user experiences, and AI-powered automation. Based on what MRI has shipped and announced this year, here is what we expect to dominate the general sessions and the hallway conversations.

1. MRI Agora moves from platform to operating layer. For the last two years, Agora was described as MRI's open, connected platform. In 2026, the language changed. Agora is now positioned as the architecture under every MRI application, with four layers: Agora Workflow (connecting and coordinating processes), Agora Intelligence (detecting issues and recommending actions), Agora Orchestrator (executing multi-step workflows with agentic AI), and the MRI applications themselves as systems of record. Expect Las Vegas to be the first full North American showcase of all four working together.

2. Agora Intelligence and Orchestrator get real demos. Launched in June 2026, these two products answer the question every operator is asking: can the software act on the data, not just store it? Intelligence surfaces recommendations, such as a lease expiry with no renewal activity or an AP batch with a duplicate-invoice pattern. Orchestrators take the recommended action through a governed workflow. The sessions worth attending are the ones where MRI shows the approval controls, the audit trail, and how an agent is stopped when it is wrong, because that is what your auditors will ask about.

3. PMX 10.7 and Application Studio. PMX 10.7 and Application Studio were highlighted at Ascend Sydney as the combination that lets clients extend PMX without custom code. For North American PMX clients still on older Web X versions, this is the version to plan an upgrade around, and the one on which most new Agora capabilities will land first.

4. From automation to intelligent action. MRI's product strategy team framed the 2026 shift as moving from efficiency (automate the repetitive task) to outcomes (make the better decision). Expect keynotes to lean on that language, and expect the best client case studies to be the ones that show measurable results: days cut from the close, hours removed from reconciliation, leasing conversions lifted.

5. The partner ecosystem matters more, not less. Agora is explicitly an open platform. The more MRI pushes AI into the core, the more the quality of the data feeding matters, and the more the integrations around the edges (banks, expense systems, construction platforms, document repositories) determine whether the AI is trustworthy. That is why the expo floor is worth two hours of your schedule, not twenty minutes.

What we recommend you do before you arrive. Write down the three processes that cost your finance team the most hours every month. For most PMX clients, that list includes bank reconciliation, AP invoice processing, and CAM reconciliation. Then use the sessions and the booths to answer one question for each: who fixes this, natively or through a partner, and by when?

Assetsoft will be exhibiting on the partner expo floor at Caesars Forum for all three conference days. Look for the Assetsoft booth [Booth #TBC] in the partner pavilion. Our team of senior MRI consultants, solution architects, and the product team behind ABR will be on hand throughout.

Who we are, in one line. Assetsoft is a multi-platform Protech consultancy founded in 2012 and headquartered in Markham, Ontario, with delivery teams in Canada, the United States, India (Pune and Chennai), and Sri Lanka. We are an MRI Software Gold Service Partner, a Yardi Independent Consultant Network member, a Procore partner, a SAP Concur partner, and a UiPath certified partner. Our practice is led by a founder with more than 25 years in real estate technology, and our consultants average 15+ years of hands-on platform experience.

What we do for MRI clients. Assetsoft delivers the full MRI lifecycle:

• MRI PMX implementation and configuration for commercial, multifamily, and investment portfolios

• Data migration and conversion into MRI from Yardi, Sage, JD Edwards, spreadsheets, and legacy systems

• Web X upgrades, including the move to PMX 10.7

• MRI Analytix BI reporting and dashboards

• Integration between MRI and the systems around it: banks, SAP Concur, Procore, Zoho, document AI and RPA

• Ongoing managed services and help desk support across North American and Australian time zones

What we are showing at the booth.Three things:

1. Automatic Bank Reconciliation (ABR) for MRI PMX, demonstrated live on a PMX environment. Bring your own reconciliation pain points, and we will show how the matching rules handle them.

2. Integration and automation around MRI, delivered through our KriyaGo platform, including bank feeds, expense integration, and document capture into MRI AP.

3. MRI implementation, migration and upgrade advisory, with a free 30-minute planning session for operators scoping a 2027 project.

Where we work: Assetsoft supports MRI clients across the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, with 24/7 coverage from our global delivery centers. Active ANZ clients include Goodman Group and Colliers International, and our North American MRI practice spans REITs, fee managers and private owner-operators.

Book a time before you arrive. Booth traffic peaks after the general sessions. If you want a dedicated 20-minute walkthrough, reserve a slot, and we will hold it for you.

ABR is a native bank reconciliation engine for MRI Property Management X. It takes bank activity in, matches it against the cash transactions already in MRI, and posts the reconciled results back to MRI. The result is a reconciliation done daily by the system rather than monthly by a person, with exceptions surfaced for review instead of the whole statement.

The problem it solves. Bank reconciliation in property management is a volume problem disguised as an accounting problem. A fee manager with 300 bank accounts across trust, operating, and reserve structures reconciles thousands of lines a month. The matching logic is mostly deterministic, yet it still happens in spreadsheets, with CSV downloads from the bank, VLOOKUPs against an MRI cash export, and manual journal entries for the leftovers. The consequences are familiar: close slips, exceptions that pile up, auditors asking for evidence that doesn't exist in one place, and the most expensive people on the finance team spending their month ticking lines.

How ABR works. Three steps, visible on screen:

1. Ingest. ABR accepts bank activity by direct bank feed or by file upload. BAI2 statement files work out of the box. Non-standard bank formats are mapped once and reused, and the matching engine stays bank-agnostic from there.

2. Match.Configurable rules match bank lines against MRI receipts, disbursements, transfers, and fees. Rules handle cases that break spreadsheets: one bank deposit covering many tenant receipts, one MRI batch split across multiple bank lines, bank fees with no MRI counterpart, timing differences, and reversals. Matches are scored, and anything below the confidence threshold is routed to an exceptions queue with the suggested match pre-filled.

3. Post. Matched items are marked reconciled in MRI. Exceptions are cleared in a single review screen, and approved adjustments are posted back to MRI through supported channels, with a full audit trail of who matched what, when, and under which rule.

Why native to MRI matters. ABR reads and writes MRI data directly rather than keeping a parallel ledger in another tool. That means the reconciliation status in ABR is the reconciliation status in MRI, the GL stays the system of record, and there is no second reconciliation of the reconciliation tool. It also means ABR fits the direction MRI itself is taking with Agora: clean, continuously reconciled cash data is exactly what Agora Intelligence needs to produce recommendations finance teams will trust.

What it delivers. Operators who have piloted ABR report the same three outcomes:

• Time. Reconciliation moves from a multi-day month-end task to a daily exception review measured in minutes per account.

• Close. Cash is reconciled before the close starts, not during it, which removes one of the longest poles in the month-end tent.

• Control. Every match has a rule, a timestamp, and an approver. Audit requests are answered by filtering a screen, not rebuilding a spreadsheet.

Where it is already in use, ABRwas launched to the MRI community at Ascend APAC in Sydney in August 2026, where MRI announced it to its Australian client base as the preferred automatic bank reconciliation solution for PMX. Las Vegas is the North American launch. It is built and supported by Assetsoft, delivered on our KriyaGo integration and automation platform, and hosted in a dedicated environment per client.

Who is it for? Any MRI PMX client with more than a handful of bank accounts: third-party fee managers, REITs with trust-accounting obligations, investment managers reconciling fund and property-level accounts, and owner-operators who want the close to be boring again. If your team touches a bank statement in a spreadsheet, ABR is worth 20 minutes at the booth.

See it live or see it now. We will run ABR demos continuously at the Assetsoft booth throughout MRI Ascend. If you cannot make it to Las Vegas, or you would rather see it on your own data before you arrive, request a virtual ABR demo, and we will schedule a 30-minute session on a PMX environment this month.

The most useful conversations start with a specific problem. These are the five we hear most often from MRI clients, and each one has a concrete answer we can show rather than describe.

1."We reconcile 200+ bank accounts in Excel. What does day one on ABR look like?"We will walk through onboarding: bank format mapping, rule configuration against your receipt and disbursement patterns, and the first parallel run. Most clients live on their first group of accounts within weeks, not quarters.

2."We are still on Web X.5. Should we upgrade to PMX 10.7 before or after the new Agora capabilities land?" We will show the upgrade path, the modules affected, and how to sequence an upgrade so you are not rebuilding integrations twice.

3."Our AP invoices come in by email and get keyed into MRI by hand. What are the options?" We will demonstrate document capture into MRI AP, comparing MRI-native tooling, UiPath document understanding, and our own Document AI, so you can choose based on volume and budget.

4."We use SAP Concur for expenses and MRI for the GL. They do not talk." We will show the Concur-to-MRI integration pattern we use for expense import and AP automation.

5."We are migrating from Yardi, Sage or JD Edwards to MRI. What goes wrong?" Ask our conversion team. We have run hundreds of migrations in both directions and keep a list of what breaks: open AR, security deposits, CAM pools, historical attachments, and job-cost commitments.

If your question is not on this list, bring it anyway consultants, not salespeople, staff the booth.

Depth in MRI, breadth across the stack.We are an MRI Software Gold Service Partner with full PMX implementation, migration, Analytics BI, and support practice. We are also certified on Yardi, Procore, SAP Concur, and UiPath, which matters because no MRI client runs MRI alone. Construction data lives in Procore, expenses in Concur, documents in SharePoint, and the bank is the bank. Assetsoft connects those systems to MRI as part of the engagement rather than handing you a list of other vendors.

We build as well as consult. ABR exists because our consultants reconciled bank statements for clients for years and decided to solve the problem in software. The same R&D group, Assetsoft Labs, builds our integration platform, Document AI and smart notifications. Clients get a partner who understands the accounting and owns the code.

Global delivery, local accountability. Projects are led onshore from Canada and the United States, with delivery centers in Pune, Chennai, and Sri Lanka that give clients 24/7 support coverage and cost-effective capacity for migrations, testing, and reporting work. Our ANZ practice supports MRI clients across Australia and New Zealand from Sydney.

Measured, not marketed.Since 2012, Assetsoft has delivered more than 500 implementations across four continents with a 98% project success rate and a 4.9 average client rating. We are happy to put you in touch with reference clients on MRI in the United States, Canada, and Australia.

Industry knowledge first. Our consultants have worked inside property management, investment management and construction companies. We understand CAM recovery, trust accounting, fund waterfalls, draw management and affordable-housing compliance as business processes, not just as MRI screens.

If your finance team spends 40-60 hours each month matching bank transactions in MRI PLATFORM X AND MRI AGORA, you're not alone. Real estate portfolios generate thousands of complex transactions—such as rent collections, vendor payments, escrow transfers, and CAM reconciliations—and these traditional manual processes struggle to be handled efficiently. The average reconciliation error costs organizations $15,000, excluding the opportunity cost of skilled professionals being diverted from strategic analysis to repetitive tasks.

At Assetsoft, we've witnessed this challenge across countless MRI PLATFORM X AND MRI AGORA PLATFORM implementations. That's why we've developed integration solutions that transform bank reconciliation from a monthly burden into an automated, intelligent process that runs continuously in the background.

Modern banking APIs have revolutionized what's possible in financial automation. Through our consulting expertise, we connect MRI Platform X and MRI Agora directly with your commercial banking partners, including Wells Fargo, TD Bank, RBC, and virtually any financial institution across North America. These aren't batch file imports running overnight; they're real-time transaction feeds that keep your MRI Platform X and MRI Agora system synchronized with your actual bank balances throughout the day.

Our integration approach leverages enterprise-grade connectivity platforms that ensure bank-level security while providing universal access to financial data. This means that whether you're managing properties across multiple states or provinces, or using regional banks or international institutions, we can establish secure, automated connections that eliminate the need for manual transaction entry.

Generic reconciliation tools often fail in real estate because they lack an understanding of the industry's complexity. A tenant payment might be split across multiple invoices, a vendor payment could cover several properties, and escrow accounts require special compliance handling.

Through our implementation methodology, we configure intelligent matching algorithms specifically for real estate operations within MRI Platform X and MRI Agora. The system learns your unique transaction patterns—recognizing recurring maintenance contracts, matching partial rent payments, handling security deposit transfers, and managing multi-entity transactions. This isn't simple keyword matching; it's pattern recognition that improves accuracy over time.

Real-World Impact:

• Property-level reconciliation across multiple bank accounts and legal entities
• Automatic tenant payment matching even with partial or combined payments
• Vendor payment recognition for recurring services and split invoices
• Trust account compliance with automated escrow reconciliation
• Multi-currency support for international portfolios

Perfect automation isn't always possible—nor necessary. Our solution implements confidence scoring to identify transactions that require human review. Instead of reviewing thousands of matched transactions, your team focuses only on exceptions that genuinely need attention. The system provides suggested matches with confidence scores, turning hours of investigation into minutes of targeted review.

This hybrid approach maintains an accuracy rate of 99% or higher while reducing reconciliation time by up to 90%. Your team transitions from data entry clerks to financial analysts, spending time on variance analysis and strategic decisions rather than manual matching.

What sets Assetsoft apart is our deep understanding of the MRI Platform X and MRI Agora Platform architecture. We don't just import reconciled data; we create bi-directional integration that ensures perfect synchronization between your banking data and property management operations. Reconciled transactions automatically update in MRI PLATFORM X AND MRI AGORA, maintaining real-time accuracy across your entire financial ecosystem.

Our integration capabilities include:

• Direct transaction creation within MRI PLATFORM X AND MRI AGORA PLATFORM
• Automatic GL coding based on transaction patterns
• Real-time cash position visibility across properties
• Comprehensive audit trails for compliance
• Custom reporting dashboards for executive insights
