THE RIGHT IT LANDSCAPE TO ACHIEVE REAL ESTATE EXCELLENCE

Digitization of real estate operations: The question is not whether digitization makes sense, but how it can be implemented. This is where Digital Radar for Real Estate Operations provides support. It combines market transparency across all relevant systems with digitization of all aspects of your organization, processes, hardware (buildings) and software tools. This allows you to keep an eye on all important aspects on your path to your IT and tool landscape of the future.  

How can we ensure transparency? Which tools and systems are a good fit for us? How do we replace old systems and migrate the data? How does digitization help us increase cost-efficiency? When it comes to the digitization of real estate operations, there are many unanswered questions – from strategic to operational.

Instead of a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach that tries to do suit everyone, a coherent and professionally structured IT landscape is required – one that can and must develop dynamically over time. The aim is to establish a sustainable, efficient real estate organization with digitized processes.

Real estate managers face the following issues relating to the cross-industry digitization of real estate operations:

• Space flexibilization, space efficiency, and site strategies
• Digital processes
• Technological innovation and integration
• Efficiency and cost reduction
• Digitization as a prerequisite for ESG compliance and energy management
• Data transparency to synchronize corporate and real estate strategies

Optimized processes, falling operating costs and greater transparency: Expectations are great – but there are also huge challenges.
 

85 percent of participants in the Trend Study Real Estate (2023) rate digital optimization of processes as one of the biggest opportunities. On the other hand, 73 percent of respondents think that investment costs for the implementation of digital tools and systems are among the biggest challenges.
