Welcome

Cisco® Smart+Connected Real Estate practice invites you to attend an informative seminar on the importance of technology in the design and construction of Smart Buildings and Communities.

Radically changing market dynamics are forcing the transformation of the construction industry. Market trends including downward pressure on rental revenue, decreasing equity value and increasing operations costs, favor building transformation. The next generation of real estate and building services turns workplaces and home spaces into environments that are personalized, functional, efficient, and profitable.

The challenge is to be ready for these market opportunities. Most real estate companies today lack the technology vision to support new requirements, lifestyles, and end-user demands. New value-added services are essential, not just to attract new tenants and investors, but also to keep existing ones.

Cisco® Smart+Connected Real Estate delivers more than technology solutions. They deliver a transformation in the real estate experience to the users, tenants, and owners. Our advisors create and help execute a technology master plan that brings your real estate vision to life.

Cisco is the worldwide leader in networking technologies, with a 20-year track record of accomplishments supporting customers of all sizes, around the globe. The Cisco® Smart+Connected Real Estate practice supports our vision of the Intelligent Information Network, an evolution of networking capabilities that supports an ever-expanding portfolio of services and applications to enable business growth.

The seminar will highlight the latest technology vision for the Real Estate market.

Places are limited

Great prizes will be drawn at the end of the session.

We look forward to your attendance.

Dame Ellen MacArthur

Sailor
Sustainability/Green

Dame Ellen MacArthur hit the headlines in 2001 after single handedly sailing around the world, in the Vendee Globe yacht race which began on 5th November 2000. Thousands followed Ellen's progress on the internet, with messages and digital pictures sent via satellite from the on - board computer updated every hour. Exhausting racing conditions meant sleeping in 10 minute snatches, a survival suit that doesn't come off for a week at a time and hands and wrists covered in salt sores and cuts. Ellen is currently supporting the BT "Better World" Campaign and is focused on the long term challenge of working and living in a more sustainable way.
