Executive Summary
This report explores the key trends that will impact real estate, energy and facilities optimization technologies in 2018. It builds on ongoing Verdantix research into software for optimizing real estate portfolios and facilities, including interviews we conducted with over 300 real estate and facility executives in 2017. Our analysis addresses burning questions about how new trends, technologies, applications, and commercial propositions will fare in the next 12 months. How valuable will wellbeing be as a driver of revenue? How will vendors create more user interaction with buildings? Will FM service firms be able to leverage technology to support their flagging margins and fight back competitive pressure? How much traction will lease management solutions enjoy as the 2019 lease capitalization deadline looms? Is the hype around blockchain or Energy-As-A-Service justified?About the Author
