To face new challenges, real estate departments need to analyse information about the owned or occupied premises. This is the first stage in identifying opportunities and creating a proactive real estate strategy. More than 70% of major organisations consider real estate IT an essential part of managing their real estate activity.

How BearingPoint brings value

The main goals of real estate IT are:

• To clarify needs (increase quality of information, reduce work time, cover new activities, facilitate analysis, etc.) by explaining to other departments the real estate targets and by determining the return on investment that the real estate department could expect with IT
• To select the IT software by evaluating compliance with actual needs, as well as functional and technical evolutions
• To plan the project by defining the project organisation (structure, project team, steering committees, etc.) and by measuring required resources (human and financial)
• To steer the project focusing on the defined targets by managing planning and risk
  
  

Overall, real estate IT projects provide the opportunity to re-structure and develop the professional skills of real estate teams.
