Using AI, data and technology to drive investment, manage assets more efficiently and make smarter estate decisions
From Data to Decisions: Using AI and Analytics to Transform Estate Performance
Dr. Shrikant B. Sharma, CEO, SmartViz | David Gray, Head of Estates Digital and Insight, University of Glasgow
In the wake of rising energy costs, budget pressures, sustainability targets and changing patterns of space utilisation, public sector organisations are under increasing pressure to reduce costs and make better use of their existing assets. At the same time, many are seeking efficiencies without losing valuable skills, capability and institutional knowledge.
Yet despite collecting vast amounts of data, critical decisions around investment, utilisation, maintenance and sustainability are still too often based on incomplete evidence.
In this joint session, the University of Glasgow and SmartViz will demonstrate how AI, analytics and digital technologies can transform estate data into actionable insight. Through real-world examples, they will explore how a data-driven approach is helping large and complex estates optimise space, improve operational efficiency, reduce costs and make more confident estate decisions.
The session will provide practical lessons for estates leaders seeking to unlock greater value from their existing assets, systems and data - turning information into measurable outcomes across the estate.
