Executive Summary

This report helps strategy and sales executives in software and hardware technology firms, and heads of practice in services firms specialized in system integration, to understand real estate executives’ perception of barriers to gaining value from real estate technology, such as IoT sensors. It can also help vendors to understand the issues that prevent their products from being purchased or fully utilized. This report analyses responses of corporate real estate executives from the most recent Verdantix global survey (see Verdantix Global Real Estate, Energy & Facilities 2017: Budgets, Priorities & Tech Preferences) and builds on our analysis of real estate executives’ attitudes to implementing technology in their firm's facilities (see Verdantix What Are Real Estate Executives' Attitudes To Real Estate, Energy & Facilities Optimization Tech?).
