With the debut of ChatGPT in November, businesses are becoming more interested than ever in harnessing the power of artificial intelligence and big data to simplify processes and boost efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, for real estate companies to harness the potential of artificial intelligence, and to ensure compliance with imminent regulations set to govern the use of these tools, asset owners and managers will need to ensure that their data governance is ready for a significant transition, according to a newly published whitepaper by Yardi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With more than three decades of industry experience under his belt, Bernie Devine, Yardi\u2019s Senior Regional Director for Asia Pacific, sees a clear \u201cinflection point\u201d ahead in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSixty per cent of real estate companies across the Asia Pacific told us they were investing in business process automation last year, and 58 per cent were planning to adopt big data analytics within three years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

From Ambition to Action<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Devine notes a \u201cclear disconnect between ambitions and actions\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yardi\u2019s research in 2022 found more than a quarter of Asia Pacific real estate companies use spreadsheets for budgeting and projections. A third are still stuck in spreadsheets for accounting and property management. A staggering 46 per cent rely on spreadsheets to manage portfolio financing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBefore tackling big data, real estate companies need to take the time to sort out their small data,\u201d Devine says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Yardi holds data for clients with US$6 trillion of assets under management. With a global footprint and products used in 80 countries, the company recently worked with a select slice of its customer base in Asia Pacific and Europe \u2013 30 companies from both markets \u2013 to compare and contrast the regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From this analysis, Yardi uncovered five opportunities for all Asia Pacific real estate companies to better organise and optimise their data. The insights are published in\u00a0Yardi\u2019s latest whitepaper<\/a>, which is available for free download.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Defending Your Data<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the areas of focus for 2023 will be data protection, Devine suggests. \u201cThe series of high-profile corporate data breaches in 2022 sharpened the consumer focus on data protection, and tougher penalties are ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another opportunity is to establish a \u2018single source of truth\u2019 across the enterprise \u2013 and this means ditching the spreadsheets for good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSpreadsheets are not designed to handle large amounts of data. They rely on time-consuming and error-prone manual data entry and validation, audit trails and data lineage are not automatically captured, and data security can be problematic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Devine says Yardi expects more real estate companies to streamline their business processes, embrace automation and elevate their compliance in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThose that embrace good data governance will move further up the data maturity curve.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
