Event Services Tailored for Knock's Microsoft Teams Environment

We've Been Studying Knock

Knock's acquisition by RealPage brings new challenges to your property management technology platform. Your team now navigates centralized procurement processes while maintaining the innovative edge that made Knock a standout in multifamily residential solutions. The shift from independent operations to enterprise-scale compliance affects everything from your Knock CRM implementations to your training delivery.

Your existing Zoom infrastructure served Knock well as an independent PropTech company, but the new security and compliance requirements under RealPage's umbrella demand solutions that integrate with your Microsoft environment rather than adding another platform to govern. Your Knockbot AI chatbot and Centralized Leasing Suite represent significant technical sophistication — your event infrastructure should match that standard.

At the 2026 WBENC National Conference in Salt Lake City, we're connecting with procurement teams who understand that supplier diversity isn't just compliance — it's strategic advantage. EventBuilder's women-owned, WBENC-certified status aligns with forward-thinking organizations like Knock who value both technical excellence and inclusive partnerships.

Built for Your Team

Jen Chestnutt, VP of Marketing

Challenge: Post-Acquisition Training Efficiency

Jen manages Knock's marketing strategies while navigating reduced team autonomy under RealPage. Maintaining efficient training sessions is crucial as the current Zoom dependence limits integration with existing Microsoft tools your IT department already governs and trusts.

How EventBuilder's Production & Live Event Service Helps:

We deliver seamless, compliant training sessions inside Microsoft Teams — no new platform for IT to review, no separate tenant to secure, no learning curve for attendees. Your training stays in the Microsoft environment you already use.

Delivered 400+ events reaching 180,000 registrants for Microsoft Commercial Licensing programs

Lucas Bourgeois, VP of Strategic Accounts

Challenge: Navigating Centralized Procurement

Lucas works within RealPage's centralized procurement framework while maintaining efficiency in Knock's property management service delivery. The new procurement processes impact how quickly your team can source and implement technologies that support client training and partner programs.

How EventBuilder's WBENC Certification Facilitates This:

Our women-owned, WBENC-certified status streamlines procurement approval while enhancing your training capabilities within Microsoft Teams. We meet supplier diversity requirements without compromising on technical sophistication.

"EventBuilder was one of the organizations that was more forward thinking than the other options we were considering. Not only did they integrate with Microsoft products, as we are a Microsoft shop, but the platform allowed for a very streamlined process to create and manage events." — Alice Liang, CEO, SolarTech

James Etherington, Senior Technical Consultant

Challenge: Meeting Enhanced Security Standards

James ensures Knock's virtual events meet heightened security and compliance requirements following the RealPage acquisition. The new enterprise-scale standards affect how your technical team evaluates and implements event platforms for client training and internal communications.

How EventBuilder's Registration & Compliance Service Addresses This:

Our ISO 27001 and 27701 certifications, combined with Microsoft SSPA Green status, ensure virtual events meet stringent enterprise security standards while staying native to your Microsoft Teams environment.

Delivered secure large-scale town halls inside restricted GCC High tenants with zero security incidents

Why Knock Chose EventBuilder Over Alternatives

Your current Zoom infrastructure requires attendees and IT to adopt, secure, and govern a separate platform alongside the Microsoft stack Knock already runs. EventBuilder lives inside Microsoft Teams, eliminating the need for new tenant security reviews or attendee training.

Unlike ON24's self-serve marketing webinar approach, we deliver registration, production, moderation, and reporting as a managed service with 24/5 live coverage — perfect for lean teams running executive-grade programs without dedicated webinar-ops staff.

Compared to Cvent's heavy, costly ecosystem, EventBuilder delivers the same registration intelligence and security posture native to Teams, run by an accountable service team. As a women-owned, WBENC-certified supplier, we also unlock procurement and supplier-diversity paths that large generalist vendors cannot provide.

"We have been using EventBuilder for our partner events and have great success with the platform. The EventBuilder team is very responsive with excellent customer service. We always get a thorough answer the first time."

— Mike Iem, Senior Program Manager, IoT Marketing and Partner Events, Microsoft
