Embracing the Real Estate Technology REvolution
REdefining Real Estate Operations Through Technology, Automation and Innovation
REvolution -
- a sudden, radical, or complete change
- a fundamental change in the way of thinking about or visualizing something: a change of paradigm
- a changeover in use or preference, especially in technology
Since 2008, financial pressures to contain costs placed on the industry have propelled automation into mainstream discussions. During this same period of time, cloud computing came into vogue, increasingly powerful mobile technologies permeated the marketplace, big data made its way into buildings and technology overall matured and became less expensive. The commercial real estate industry could not ignore the implications. All of these fundamental trends contributed to the accelerated pace at which technology, automation and innovation were being introduced into real estate organizations.
Our theme last year was Fast Forward, supporting the idea that technology was becoming more widely adopted at all levels inside our industry. We believe that we are now at a critical point where the speed at which these changes are taking place is so fast that we are at the beginning stages of a REvolution—a point in time where things will change so radically that there is no turning back to the old ways. Proposed ideas and objectives, ways of doing things that we used to just speculate and talk about are now being established as best practices, such as:
- Real-Time Integrated ERPs
- Leases Signed on iPads
- Paperless Interaction With Investors and Tenants (Including Payments)
- Mobile Platforms Redefining Organizational Communications
- 3D Visualized Real Estate Portfolios
- COOs and Other Executives Strategically Embracing Technology
- New Job Titles such as Strategic Data Analysts
- Sophisticated Analytics Driving Business Decisions
- Cloud Platforms Encroaching on Established Infrastructure
- Company Portals as a Means for Organizing Internal Communications
- Information from Multiple Platforms Consolidated into Unified View
- Analytical Data Tools Now in the Hands of the Non-Technical End-User
While not all of these trends are prevalent in every real estate organization, we have seen them successfully implemented individually in enough companies, to feel confident that they do, in fact, represent the new trends.
The old ways of doing business will soon be obsolete. It is no longer a function of if, but when. The technology is in place; it is now a question of how quickly each organization can change its own culture to take full advantage of these new operating paradigms.
The other REvolution that is taking place is inside the Real Estate organization. Technology has historically been limited to the activities found in the IT department. Over the last few years, automation and innovation continue to creep into every activity of every department ranging from the receptionist to the CEO, forcing everyone to rethink how technology can impact how they do their job. This is a REvolution!
The coming year should be a very exciting time, with a continued increase in the speed and frequency in which technology, automation and innovation is injected into a real estate organization. This continual increase in redefining business processes will ultimately lead to a transformed real estate operating model. We invite everyone to join in the REvolution and help to radically redefine how commercial real estate will be owned, operated and used for the next 100 years!
