Back Office of the Future '21

Outsourcing enables organizations to focus more on their core competencies— delivering value for property owners, investors and occupiers.

Real estate investment managers are turning to third parties because they need providers with the technology and resources to deliver more granular and detailed information about their real estate portfolios than most traditional back offices can provide.

In addition to helping reduce costs, outsourcing enables owners to improve data access and analysis, tap new accounting talent and know-how and enhance risk management.

Outsourcing often coincides with the formation of a new fund or business, expansion into new geographies or as an alternative to investing in new data platforms.

For ongoing operations and businesses, a lift-out, the transferring of a whole group from an owner to a third party, is attractive because it preserves teams, workflows and institutional memory.
