About

VTS is a commercial real estate technology platform providing leasing, asset management, and market intelligence tools for commercial real estate landlords, landlord brokers, and tenant brokers — centralizing deal pipeline management, tenant engagement, and portfolio performance analytics for office, retail, and industrial property managers. Founded in 2012 by Nick Romito and Karl Baum in New York City, VTS has raised over $325 million at a $1.7 billion valuation and serves over 60% of the top commercial real estate owners and operators in North America, including institutional investors like Blackstone, Brookfield, and Equity Commonwealth.\n\nVTS's core platform provides landlords with a CRM for their leasing pipeline — tracking prospective tenants, tour activity, lease negotiations, and market comparables — while giving leasing teams real-time visibility into which spaces are most in demand and which are stalling. VTS Market (launched 2020) is a public-facing platform where tenant-side brokers and corporate real estate teams can search available spaces, request tours, and get market data. VTS Rise provides tenant experience features (building apps, amenity booking) for commercial building occupants.\n\nIn 2025, VTS operates in the commercial real estate technology market as office real estate faces structural demand shifts from remote and hybrid work adoption. Landlords with high vacancy rates need better leasing intelligence to find and retain tenants competitively. VTS competes with Yardi (broader CRE platform), RealPage, and CoStar (market data) for commercial real estate technology. The 2025 strategy focuses on VTS Data (market intelligence for CRE transaction pricing and demand trends), expanding its tenant experience platform for landlords investing in amenities to attract tenants back to offices, and growing its industrial and retail CRE segments beyond office.

About

International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) is an Armonk, New York-based global technology and consulting company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: IBM) as an S&P 500 component — providing hybrid cloud infrastructure, artificial intelligence software, and enterprise IT consulting through approximately 270,300 employees in 170 countries with $62.8 billion in annual revenue. Founded on June 16, 1911, as Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company through a merger orchestrated by financier Charles Ranlett Flint, renamed IBM in 1924 under Thomas Watson Sr., IBM has undergone multiple strategic transformations over its 110+ year history: building the System/360 mainframe platform (1964), launching the IBM PC (1981), selling the PC division to Lenovo (2005, $1.75B), and completing the $34 billion Red Hat acquisition (2019) that repositioned IBM as a hybrid cloud platform company. CEO Arvind Krishna (appointed April 2020) has focused IBM's strategy on three areas: hybrid cloud (powered by Red Hat OpenShift, the enterprise Kubernetes platform), AI (the watsonx platform for enterprise AI model development and deployment), and enterprise consulting. Under Krishna, IBM recorded $12.7 billion in free cash flow in 2024 (a company record), surpassed $6 billion in generative AI bookings since June 2023, and saw the stock price double — trading at all-time highs through 2024-2025. IBM announced the DataStax acquisition in 2025 to deepen watsonx's data layer with AstraDB (vector database for AI applications), DataStax Enterprise (Apache Cassandra), and Langflow (low-code AI agent development).
