WELCOME
Join fellow SAP customers to learn how you can innovate and transform
your real estate business.
These are exciting times for the real estate business. Corporate real estate managers are being forced to handle an increasingly
complex portfolio, optimize building occupancy, lower building operating costs, and comply with a broad mix of legal requirements,
including financial legal reporting. Commercial real estate managers are under equal pressure to maximize building occupancy,
while dealing with major industry shifts impacting them and their tenants. Fact-based analytics are crucial to survive. However,
only 28% of respondents in a recent real estate industry study regarded themselves as well equipped to meet the various
demands placed on them.
To help you deal with these demands, at this years event we will feature the brand-new SAP Real Estate Cockpit application and
SAP HANA Live for Flexible Real Estate Management. We believe this technology could be a game changer for the way decisions
are made at all levels of your organization. We will not only show you the new application in detail but also let the SAP Global
Facility Management team explain how they deployed it, teach consultants how to implement it, and discuss the fit of the
application to your requirements.
Additionally, the event will bring you latest trends and facts, provide tips and tricks for successful deployment, and give you
concrete opportunities to grow your business. As a keynote speaker, David Wilk from Sperry Van Ness will share his in-depth
industry insight. Speakers from CAPREIT, Energy Transfer Company, Public Works Government Services Canada and Transnet
Property among others, will share successful solution deployment experiences with you. Representatives from CIDEON, COS-33,
NPQ, B4 Consulting, and PROMOS will show you their complementary products and services. You will see demos of applications to
manage the corporate workplace, mobile building operations, property visualization, and common area maintenance expense
recovery.
For more in-depth discussion, pre-conference workshops are available for you to learn how to manage real estate end-to-end and
how to handle portfolios visually. Plus, roundtable discussions will provide an opportunity for you to tackle the upcoming
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) compliance challenge for leases, learn about rapid solution deployment, and
share your ideas for potential future innovations.
We look forward to seeing you at our event in Chicago and helping you to discover new opportunities to make yours a truly bestrun real estate business.

Real Estate Asset Optimization A Management Consulting and Academic Perspective
Of the $25 trillion of total value in real estate assets in the United States, over $10 trillion is owned by
companies, municipalities, and institutions not in the real estate business. Corporate real estate is not a

sheet item and operating cost for most companies. Despite this reality, enterprises often overlook the
earnings and optimization potential of capital dedicated to real estate.
This keynote session will provide insights on how enterprises can optimize their real estate portfolios and
generate new earnings and cost savings through management consulting diagnostics and data analytics
from the SAP Real Estate Cockpit.
Hear how asset optimization for real estate can deliver new earnings and cost savings
