ValuD utilized pre-developed configurations –   solution accelerators to increase the speed of client implementations – to enhance the proration of payment and Consumer Price Index (CPI) calculations.  Rent change, accounting cost center enhancements, and additional reports for payment validation and rent escalations were also value-add services performed by the ValuD team.
