What is Azure?
Azure is a suite of cloud computing services that includes analytics, machine learning, storage, and much more. It’s an open platform with many features that are available to developers as well as end-users. It allows developers to build, deploy, and manage applications across a global network of data centres.
Developers can use Azure’s tools to develop their own custom applications, or they can use Azure’s pre-built templates for web apps, mobile apps, games, and more.
Real estate investing and portfolio management
Investing in real estate can be a very challenging, time-consuming, and complicated venture. With specialised software, you can easily track your investments, find strategic partners, analyse market trends, and stay on top of local regulations.
To manage your investments, you can use the Portfolio feature in the Microsoft Azure portal. This allows you to track all your assets (land, buildings, and more), perform accounting functions, and access key data to make informed decisions.
Customer service and sales
With tenants, clients, and other stakeholders relying on your expertise, you need an efficient and effective way to manage communications. With Microsoft’s Azure, you can create a virtual reception desk that allows you to manage communications with clients and tenants from a single location.
You can also create a dedicated virtual office that replicates the feeling of being in person with the ability to manage communications and collaborate on projects.
Data analytics for greater business insights
Azure’s data analytics can tell you what your competitors are doing, how to better manage your business operations, and even help make key decisions. Azure offers the best insights into competitor behaviour by providing information on their usage of different products or services in real-time. As a result, it is easier for you to think strategically before making any move so that all of these moves will be more successful than ever.
This insight is available at an instant glance via Azure’s Business Central dashboard, as well as through reports based on past activity and recent occurrences within the company. These include property listings created or updated recently, allowing new opportunities to be spotted quicker.
Properly understanding how clients use properties isn’t always easy when there are many variables involved, which is why Azure has developed predictive models. These models have been proven most accurate when predicting potential customer behaviours, such as forecasting who among your current customer might buy next month.
These predictions allow for proactive management strategies rather than reactive ones only after-the-fact response — making sure every decision is worth twice its weight because it provides options rather than one solution.
