The conference program offers sessions focusing on Automated Business Solutions, Intelligent Infrastructure and General Technology.
Intelligent Infrastructure
Now, more than ever, we need to leverage IT to maximize operational efficiency in our developments and portfolios. As buildings become smarter and more “connected,” the IT executives are becoming more and more involved in the selection, implementation, and support of intelligent building systems. This track will focus on the intersection of IT and Building Automation Systems and the potential for extraordinary improvements in how we operate our buildings and use both personal and natural resources.
Topics include:
- An Integrated Approach to Automating Building Management
- Telecom & Wireless Innovations and Trends
- Intelligent Infrastructure Best Practice Showcase
Business Intelligence and Process Automation
Efficiency in our industry has been talked about forever, yet the reality is that an inordinate amount of manual business processes are still being used in our companies. Clipboards, forms, paper reports, endless spreadsheets, and unconnected conversations result in a very inefficient way to manage a complex business. Also, these inefficient processes make it literally impossible to tap into actionable information necessary to reduce risk and make sound business decisions. This track will concentrate on (1) key business processes ripe for cost saving automation and (2) business intelligence strategies that can improve decision making while reducing risk and increasing data transparency.
Topics include:
- Business Intelligence – What Is Your Data Telling You?
- Document Management - A Cornerstone of Higher Productivity
- Business Process Automation Best Practice Showcase
General Technology
In addition to the real estate specific solutions that our firms rely on, there are a number of general automation technologies to consider that offer tremendous value. Products such as Amazon’s EC2 platform, Google Earth, Cisco’s wide range of networking and business applications, Web 2.0 and next generation virtualization technologies, all are important solutions to evaluate. This track will present these very relevant general technologies and their role in a comprehensive real estate IT strategy.
Topics include:
- Greener IT and Virtualization Update
- Doing More with Less – A Strategy for Continued Success
- Cloud Computing – Opportunities and Challenges
