Commercial real estate technology firm Integrated Business Systems (IBS) has promoted Steven Hirsch to director of product and services. The industry veteran and Sparta, N.J., resident has more than two decades of accounting and property management tech experience, including 15 years with the Totowa, New Jersey-based company.
In his new role, Hirsch is overseeing development strategy and service for IBS’s core product: Imperium Powered by Acumatica, a proprietary, cloud-based property management accounting platform and an outgrowth of the 40-year-old firm’s popular legacy system. Imperium supports easy integrations with best-in-class software, addressing a wide range of real estate-related tasks.
“Steven has been the leading voice of IBS Imperium development since the company chose Acumatica as the platform for our next-generation ERP Property Management Solution,” said IBS President Michael Mullin. “Over the past five years, his direction has taken Imperium from its first steps to its current version — with each new release focused on delivering new features and functionality. Steven is the perfect person for the director of product and services role.”
Since joining IBS in 2005, Hirsch has dedicated himself to client satisfaction and has played a key role in driving the deep features set offered by IBS products. “I’ve spent the better part of my career guiding the direction of software solutions with a customer focus,” he said. “I am now in a position to take the client voice directly to product development. With technology advances and the ever-increasing need to be ‘connected,’ this is an exciting time in the property management technology space.”
Hirsch began his career in accounting with a mid-sized accounting firm, moving quickly into the controllership of a Manhattan-based computer company. Prior to joining IBS, he also held leadership positions with a New Jersey-based commercial real estate owner/operator and Manhattan-based financial services firm, where he headed an internal software development team.
