Aditya Shah, director of Middle East operations at Yardi, writes on the rise of Cloud-based technology in FM activities.<\/em><\/p>\n

Tenants and residents within both, the com\u00admercial and residen\u00adtial real es\"Adityatate sectors continue to have ris\u00ading expectations for technology – most notably about how it will impact service levels and enhance their cus\u00adtomer experience and occupancy.<\/p>\n

From a management perspective, a com\u00adpetitive environment breeds the need for fast\u00ader customer-focused services that are highly efficient to streamline operations and reduce costs, while also improving overall returns.<\/p>\n

While technology has played a role in the field of FM for a number of years, the advent of the smart apps and an ever-increasing drive towards mobility has seen some seriously sig\u00adnificant developments – ones that offer this particular section of the real estate industry much more than just improved productivity.<\/p>\n

The Cloud is here – it has been for some time – and more and more businesses are adopting cloud-based solutions as the cor\u00adnerstone to enhance numerous aspects of their operations. Mobility undoubtedly of\u00adfers managers a far greater level of flexibility than ever thought before, and with all these technologies working in synergy, a facili\u00adties manager is now no longer reactive, but can manage their day-to-day operations for properties, entire portfolios, and tenants and residents with proactive foresight.<\/p>\n

The solutions that are born out of this ever-evolving environment can boost cus\u00adtomer loyalty by improving speed of re\u00adsponse, driving down the cost of processes and procedures, and delivering a degree of flexibility and scalability to suit a wide range of business models.<\/p>\n

While adoption was previously slow, the sector is embracing these opportunities. Managers and engineers can engage in workflows that improve productivity and time management – be that for scheduling preventative maintenance, allocating prox\u00adimity-related tasks, recording evidence, or signing-off completed works from the field.\u00a0 Add to this a level of business intelligence that can advance strategies and monitor KPI\u2019s, and it leads to a more sophisticated level of FM to enhance numerous aspects of the business.<\/p>\n

Yardi has been providing the real estate industry with technology-based so\u00adlutions since 1984. We deliver cloud-based investment and asset and property manage\u00adment systems<\/a>, and pride ourselves on deliv\u00adering unique solutions that support every aspect of the real estate life cycle.<\/p>\n
