Open Standards Consortium for Real Estate
OSCRE Workgroup to Define Key Industry Metrics
John Vivadelli, president and founder of AgilQuest Corporation, has been elected to chair a key workgroup of OSCRE, the Open Standards Consortium for Real Estate. A non-profit organization of industry leaders, OSCRE works toward the adoption of e-business standards that will facilitate coordination along the real estate supply chain.
Vivadelli will guide the Strategy and Planning Metrics Workgroup deliberations on the selection, definition and standardization of metrics for the corporate real estate industry. The workgroup also will recommend data elements from which those metrics are derived, as well as protocols to enable transparent communications between technologies that process the information.
As chair, Vivadelli will help set the agenda, create a timetable for delivery of data standards, and interface with OSCRE’s executive, management and technical teams. “We’ve accepted the challenge of defining the metrics by which the real estate industry measures itself,” he said. “Our workgroup represents a cross section of the industry collaborating to reduce the friction and costs associated with real estate processes.”
All real estate groups need methodologies, systems and tools to plan, buy, build, sell, lease and manage real estate portfolios. Yet organizations and stakeholders have different priorities, work processes and even vocabularies. Solutions developed for one part of the industry are not easily deployed in another part, much less integrated.
Headquartered in Washington D.C., OSCRE (pronounced Oscar) promotes standard methodologies, languages and metrics so key real estate stakeholders -- owners, investors, operators, tenants, developers, property managers, service providers, regulatory agencies, consulting firms, vendors and suppliers -- can communicate and collaborate in today’s digital economy.
“Our goal,” said Vivadelli, “is to give those involved in the real estate business the comfort of knowing that the best-of-breed applications they choose to acquire will integrate together and support their real estate and workplace management lifecycle.”
