Abstract: This study reports on
the utilization of business computing systems by corporate real estate executives. A
survey was undertaken to examine four issues: types of property data collected, MIS report
generation, hardware/software usage, and decision models and experts employed. NACORE
members were surveyed and reported extensive usage of well-known business computing
systems (e.g., transaction processing and management information systems), while newer
systems (e.g., decision support and expert systems) are just beginning to be introduced
into corporate real estate. Empirical analysis revealed differences among industries in
the types of reports and property financial data that are maintained.
