The Ever-Changing Demands of the Real Estate Ecosystem
Managed Services for Digital Transformation Adaption
In a recent article, Digital Journal interviewed RealFoundations’ CEO of Managed Services Dan Sterk on the commercial real estate industry. Sterk discussed within the post how well companies are adapting to digital transformation through managed services in areas including property accounting, lease administration and application support to streamline operations, enhance data transparency and offer scalability. Sterk also highlighted the benefits of outsourcing managed services to meet the dynamic demands of the real estate ecosystem.
During the Q&A session, Sterk responded to the following questions and more:
What are some of the most prominent examples of managed services within commercial real estate?
“That’s a great question – the reality is that there is a wide variety of managed services within commercial real estate that improve operational performance, increase data transparency, and contribute to organizational stability. There has been tremendous growth in real estate managed services in the last few years and we’ve seen that the most successful service providers are those made up of industry professionals with highly specialized skills and knowledge of specific asset classes. The ultimate goal of managed services is to streamline critical processes while providing ongoing improvement across portfolios.”
How has tech transformed commercial real estate and the way owners and operators manage portfolios?
“Like every industry, technology is impacting commercial real estate and residential management operations now more than ever. Consumers are conditioned to receive what they want when they want – which is instantly – requiring property managers to rethink the leasing process and tenant experience and cater to the desire of new generations for quick, convenient and on-demand experiences.”
What are some of the most prominent examples of managed services within commercial real estate?
“Once a company decides to outsource, it should begin vetting several different, experienced providers. Asking direct and specific questions will help to identify the best firm with which to partner such as Are you ready to leverage sourcing? Is your team onboard? Do you know your processes and are they consistent? Does one firm stand out for its use of leading practices and technology solutions?”
