International property brokerage and consultancy JLL opened its first ‘Global Centre for Technology, Data and Information Management’ in Bengaluru.
The CoE is expected to drive innovation, focussing on the commercial real estate industry, which includes experimenting with data and technology design, artificial intelligence, augmented reality, virtual reality and other emerging technologies to help JLL’s clients to make smarter decisions on real estate needs.
New solutions
The centre will collaborate with technology partners to prototype and fast-track development of new solutions and ideas.
“The Global Centre of Expertise (CoE) for Technology, Data and Information Management is spread over 20,000 sq ft with 170 skilled tech experts providing data, engineering and support platform to us (JLL) and our clients globally,” said Anthony Couse, CEO, JLL Asia Pacific.
“We chose to host CoE in India and that too in Bengaluru because of talent availability, cost of talent, availability of real estate and social infrastructure,” he added.
Tech convergence
George Thomas, CIO, JLL Asia Pacific, said: “Today we take a big step towards our digital ambitions.
“Our colleagues located in Bengaluru, will support our businesses to deliver digital experience, underpinned by a modern data and technology platform that will leverage JLL’s deep knowledge-base to enable unique data insights and advanced digital solutions for our clients.”
For its delivery of services, the company has begun to rely on PropTech (technology adoption in property management). Ramesh Nair, CEO and Country Head, JLL India, said, “Proptech is an emerging concept in India, with ample opportunity for growth.
“Locating our Centre in Bengaluru allows us to be at the heart of innovation and disruption. Proptech also helps solve our clients’ problems, make smarter decisions and simplify lives.”
