Commercial Real Estate - Digital and Human Experiences

Living in a bubble of digital convenience can drive a wedge between people and their community. Individuals are isolated, community is lost, and life becomes a little less human each day. It doesn’t have to be that way. Some CRE firms are putting people first by creating shared communities in office, retail, and entertainment facilities based on analytic insights into how occupiers live, work, and play. Data-driven knowledge enables companies to reshape their properties in ways that humanize technology while meeting tenant—and ultimately human—needs.

Integrated Business Planning

As management seeks to understand profitability and accurately forecast performance, it faces numerous challenges, including complex supply chains, changing customer priorities, shortened product lifecycles, and evolving labor markets. Internally, managing data on disconnected spreadsheets and centrally controlled systems that do not support dynamic data feeds can impede communication of financial information across departments. Consequently, businesses typically lack insight into the causes of variances in a financial forecast until they are well into the next financial period.
