Mark Griffiths, head of property systems and operations at Henderson Global Investors, said: "I see the seamless transfer of data between property systems as one of great importance in our drive towards efficient operations. In fact, we have used PISCES successfully for several years now between our valuation and management systems. We are keen to help be part of the way ahead for PISCES and look forward to being involved in various workgroups which will help shape the standard."
Roger de Boehmler, director-general of PISCES, welcomed Henderson to membership and added: "Henderson are a major property investor in the UK, Europe and internationally. Their membership is a further encouragement to their suppliers and partners to join PISCES and help further enhance the standard to meet the needs of the market.
"PISCES has always developed standards for the investor community over its 10 years of existence. It's now time to make the next big step in e-commerce for real estate investors, when every stage in the transaction and performance monitoring process can become electronic and automated. The challenge is to deliver reliable investment reporting across Europe and to make it fast, consistent and paper-free."
