Unifying a National CRE Portfolio with a Central Data Hub
Client: A leading Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) with a diverse
portfolio of 200+ commercial properties across the United States.
Problem: Data was scattered across dozens of legacy systems,
spreadsheets, and regional databases. The leadership team lacked a real-time, unified
view of portfolio performance, hindering strategic capital allocation and risk
management.
Key Challenges:
- Integrating with multiple, aging property management systems.
- Standardizing data from various non-uniform sources.
- Creating intuitive, role-based dashboards for different stakeholders.
- Ensuring enterprise-grade security for sensitive financial data.
"CIS didn't just build a dashboard; they built our single source of truth. For the first
time, we can make multi-million dollar decisions with confidence, backed by real-time,
reliable data. Their integration expertise was a game-changer."
- Alex Royce, COO, Enterprise REIT
