Technology & Workflow is the #8 issue in the 2020-21 Top Ten Issues Affecting Real Estate®. In a post-COVID world, the combination of migration back to the office, need for reconfiguration and change in operating methods, and the general desire for working remotely and adding resilience is a) accelerating the adoption of technology, and b) re-prioritizing certain technologies and moving some in and out of the spotlight.
