It can be no secret to anyone in the residential real estate industry that the business landscape is changing tremendously and at a constantly accelerating rate. Perhaps the most important and daunting task facing todays real estate leader is the decision(s) surrounding the adaptation and deployment of technology within their business. Add to that the complex and totally new science of on-line interactive marketing of products and services and you have summarized most of the dilemma facing real estate executives. Successful technology migration continues to be a significant challenge for the entire real estate industry. Our industry has not been one which has systematically embraced successive generations of technology. Most of the systems in place within the industry are considered legacy and have not been updated for several generations of technological innovation. These so called legacy systems have now been overwhelmed with the advances in "web based" technology and the need to allow consumers access to what in the past has been protected and proprietary databases. Just a few years ago most of us would have scoffed at the thought that we would need enterprise-wide Internet strategies. These strategies have become so important that without a well executed plan in this area an enterprise can become overcome by events in the interactive marketing environment.
