The real estate industry is experiencing significant growth, disruption and change: a trend that is likely to continue for years to come. This industry-wide change is forcing real estate investors and owners to reassess their operations with an eye toward increasing operational efficiency and effectiveness. Once accustomed to managing through manual processes, real estate companies are implementing technologies to improve automation and workflows. At the same time, they are assessing their approach to improve data management and technology, processes and the structure alignment of their organization.

The most forward-thinking organizations view data as an asset in order to make better investment decisions, manage risk and provide insightful data to investors. Data governance is critical, as are effective processes and supporting technologies.

Yet, recent years have seen a revolution in terms of new tools, technologies and data sources. Many organizations have access to voluminous amounts of data but are challenged to define data uses and implement processes and technologies to sustain effective data management. Data in today's market has become a competitive differentiator.
