The News Funnel. Howie Mandel invites you to the ICSC Foundation Gala Dinner. Tailoring Strategy to Your Unique Business Needs (VIDEO) Trendspotting: 6 mapping trends that are good for business. November 14, 2013, 11:25 AM — Healthmap.org tracks modern day disease outbreaks Image credit: Healthmap.org One of the first things you'll learn about mapping is that it is "more than producing an actual map," said S.J.

Camarata, a director at ESRI, kicking off his panel session at the annual Techonomy conference held this week in Tucson, Arizona. While maps have been around for thousands of years, the digital kind are a more recent innovation and more of a "communications language, to visually display content and get context. Plus, they are universally recognized by everyone," he said. Maps can be extremely useful analysis tools, allowing you to spot corporate trends ahead of other methods and can be a part of a broader data analysis project that can win over your management for new business investments. "Because everything and everyone is somewhere at any given time, maps become the framework of keeping track of that.

MMA Location Terminology Guide | Mobile Marketing Association. With so much growth over such a short period of time, a critical need for ongoing education and resources has emerged to help marketers navigate this growing but constantly changing and evolving marketplace. Location encompasses a tremendous diversity of technologies, measurements and metrics that are often identified through acronyms or phrases. For a marketer, publisher or media buyer, understanding the language of location is now an essential skill. In response, the MMA Location Committee has developed this guide to serve as a quick, go-to resource to explain fundamental technologies, measurements and strategies in addition to the growing list of the terms and acronyms that have rapidly become commonplace in the industry.

Our hope is that by developing and encouraging a common and consistent language we can all help in realizing the mobile location opportunity to the fullest while building confidence from marketers in the process.

This is without a doubt the question I am asked the most. “Hey Duke which CRM program are you using or would recommend?” My answer is usually “depends” and then a conversation ensues. Now the idea behind this article is to highlight the five CRM programs that I think are the best for commercial real estate. Now before it even get’s started these are MY FIVE they may not be your five. So to help push the conversation even further it would serve everyone who has an opinion about MY FIVE to not only opine but state their experiences with each of these products.

Let’s push this even further. 1. Do I even need to make any comments? 2. I first started using REA like way back in the floppy disc era. Seriously.

Now Here's an Idea Well Worth Copying: 'LEED for Broadband' - Emily Badger.

It's probably a testament to the success of LEED that the green-building certification system has now become the standard analogy for how we think about nearly everything that can be measured and rated in buildings (not unlike all of the Airbnb analogies... which would make LEED the Airbnb of the built world). This latest iteration in particular sounds like a smart, scalable one: On Monday, New York City announced a kind of "LEED for broadband," leveraging the familiar rating system to make clear exactly how high-speed this vital infrastructure is in commercial properties across town. Here's how the city describes the certification, more formally called WiredNYC: This program will create transparency about broadband infrastructure in the commercial real estate market, giving businesses information about a building’s connectivity when choosing where to locate, and allowing landlords to market their buildings’ assets and compete for tenants.

Continuous advances with wireless sensor network (WSN) technologies will enable sentient buildings within the next decade, according to a recently published report by ON World, a global technology research firm. “Wireless sensor networks are becoming essential for smart building systems,” says Mareca Hatler ON World’s research director. “Technology advances for WSN components such as radio sensitivity, ultra-low power consumption and energy harvesting have accelerated adoption in commercial buildings.”

Self-powered wireless sensors that use harvested energy have eliminated one of the remaining challenges for WSN: Avoiding the labor cost and environmental waste of replacing thousands of batteries. Although EnOcean has a significant market lead for wireless energy harvesters, ZigBee Green Power is an emerging threat with radios that consume 100 times less power than other ZigBee PRO radios. Forecasts are for WSN equipment and services in each market as well as by geography and technology. Light Matters: 3D Video Mapping, Making Architecture The Screen for Our Urban Stories. Powerful video projectors at an affordable price have opened the path for a young, impressive art form: 3D video mapping, a means of projection that uses the architecture itself as the screen. Artists and researchers initiated the movement, developing a new visual language to interpret architecture.

Later, marketing adopted this technique for branding, with large-scale projections on skyscrapers; political activists have also initiated dialogues, turning ephemeral light interventions into eye-catching ways to point out and address urban design issues. More on the ways artists and groups develop this visual language for urban storytelling, after the break… 3D video mapping has emerged as a relatively new artistic form.Special software allows users to plan animations and send them to one or several powerful video projectors, covering and transforming the whole facade of a building. The first 3d video mapping installations in an urban context emerged around 2005. Rural counties reaping windfall from Eagle Ford activity, slideshow - San Antonio Business Journal.

The Eagle Ford Shale is not only capturing headlines in the business press these days, but the geological formation is having a profound economic effect in the rural South Texas counties that make up the shale region. The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas produced a new report on the Eagle Ford Shale. It includes data on oil production across the region and its effect on employment, income and retail sales activity. Thanks to new technological advancements such as hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, oil-and-gas producers are able to unlock new reserves of natural resources as well as open up new sources of wealth for rural landowners. As part of the Eagle Ford Shale Insider this week, we have decided to create a slideshow highlighting some of the data from the Federal Reserve report.

BPY Plans to Buy Brookfield Office. Retail opportunities on the rise in Milwaukee  August 27, 2013 | Dan Rafter | Print Article | Email this Article Dan Rosenfeld, principal at Mid-America Real Estate — Wisconsin, said that the city’s retail market is in the middle of a solid recovery period. And Rosenfeld should know: His company focuses on retail, and is one of the strongest segment players in the Milwaukee area. The activity in the city backs up Rosenfeld’s statement: A new Macy’s has already opened in Milwaukee. A new Von Maur department store is scheduled to open in 2015 and a Nordstrom is scheduled to open that year, too.

“This is certainly welcome news for the retail market,” Rosenfeld said. And these big department stores aren’t the only new retailers to hit the Milwaukee area. For instance, HSA Commercial began construction earlier this year on The Mayfair Collection, a mixed-use development in the Milwaukee suburb of Wauwatosa. “Retailers are looking at the Milwaukee market and seeing the additional market share they can gain,” Rosenfeld said. Demand up for downtown Detroit office space. Downtown Detroit has a problem few would have guessed just a few years ago, a shortage of quality office space and perhaps even the need for new construction. The overall vacancy rate has dipped from a high of about 33% in 2010 to around 25% today, a dramatic improvement, said John DeGroot, vice president of research for the real estate firm Newmark Grubb Knight Frank in Southfield.

Although still far from a gold standard vacancy rate of 10%-to-12% for a healthy big-city downtown, DeGroot said the rate is likely to continue dropping. “The momentum has been here for the last three years, and it looks like the momentum is going to continue to be there the next three to four years,” he said Since Dan Gilbert, Quicken Loans founder and chairman, began moving his family of companies downtown in 2010, he has purchased, rehabbed and filled up many of downtown’s classic office towers with his employees. Gilbert either owns or controls through master leases at least 30 downtown properties. Location, Learning and Logistics: Weekend Reading - Deloitte CFO.

Deciding where to locate production facilities is a critical costly decision for companies—one that can have lasting implications on a company’s top and bottom lines. When making traditional location decisions, executives generally take into account traditional concerns such as labor costs, taxes and real estate. But they may be sacrificing future performance potential if those are the only factors considered, and they need to understand and manage the trade-offs in capacity location decisions. Source: Deloitte Review In their article “Location, learning, and logistics: A framework for managing trade-offs in capacity location decisions,” in Deloitte Review, authors Josh Timberlake, senior manager, Deloitte Consulting LLP; Mark Cotteleer, director, Deloitte Services LP; and David Uhryniak, senior manager, Deloitte Services LP, challenge organizations to think beyond standard considerations to include the impact location decisions may have on future research and development capabilities.

A “property paradox” is taking shape as new CoreNet Global survey data shows a continuing trend of less space per person.

The numbers also reveal an uptick in companies’ knowledge worker hiring levels. The survey found that the average amount of space per worker globally today is currently 150 square feet or less and is likely to drop to 100 square feet or less for many companies within five years. In the survey, nearly 60 percent of the respondents said that employment levels are going to increase during the second half of 2013. Only 11 percent indicated that there would be a decrease. In addition, more than 80 percent of the real estate leaders in the survey said that their firms had adopted an open space floor plan, with fewer cubes and individual offices.

Nearly half said that they had more collaborative space than heads-down or private, focus space. But along with today’s open, flexible, and more collaborative work settings comes more choice for spaces where we work.

This article is part of a weeklong America 360 series on Raleigh. RALEIGH, N.C. —For decades, a monument to the 1950s has shimmered in the woods due northwest of Raleigh, an enduring tribute to the time when cars were king, suburban living was the idyll, and the fruits of American invention seemed limitless.

At the time, the Research Triangle Park felt as futuristic as Tomorrowland, the largest corporate research park in the world, stretched across a campus half the size of Manhattan. Giants such as IBM sent thousands of employees here, transforming this region of North Carolina so dramatically that the area is named for it. "It changed our culture and our destiny," says Bob Geolas, the chief executive officer of the park's foundation. The park remains the world's largest, but so much of that world has changed, has passed it by.

The campus remains home to more than 170 companies—along with IBM, they include GlaxoSmithKline, Syngenta, RTI International, Credit Suisse, and Cisco.
