BOMA's latest guide offers practical guidance for operations managers while connecting the data collection practices for operational management and efficiency with corporate portfolio risk management.
We already collect much of what we need to understand our risk exposures, providing an auditable trail of evidence for routine filings and declarations of how the property portfolio is affected by climate change and other contextual trends.
Critically, it allows us to focus on what we can control: our operations.
We can know and manage how a failure in the power supply will affect us, and therefore what we must do to ensure that our tenants and we can continue to operate effectively. It is the underlying concept behind operational resilience: safe-to-fail.
It builds confidence and value in the market, distinguishing properties that can support continued operations over those that fail. When we view our properties through an operational resilience lens, many opportunities present themselves in cost and risk reduction while enhancing operating efficiencies and value.

Leaders in the data centre industry have responded by becoming powerful voices for sustainable change and as per a recent webinar on Data Centres in Australia Driving the Sustainability Agenda, they are interested more in collaborating than competing and agree that newer standards and gauges can unlock the next green wave of impact and value.
Data centres have traditionally relied on Power Usage Efficiency (PUE) as the sustainability metric of choice. While substantial improvements in PUE standards have been made over the years, measuring PUE alone fails to capture the full environmental impact of data centres.
In this report, we explore how PUE, in combination with Water Usage Efficiency (WUE) and Carbon Usage Effectiveness (CUE) can form a more holistic measure of sustainability performance.

It is a peer-group index designed to provide a competitive set to better understand and benchmark performance, analyze integrated property and fund-level data, and evaluate intra-year, in-region market indicators.

Technology adoption and digitization across the sectors were fast-tracked globally and India also leap-frogged at least a decade in the past couple of years.
The lockdown and subsequent restrictions threw life and business out of gear. However, this very black swan event became a massive catalyst for digital adoption across the country.
The government’s initiative and drive towards a digital economy was accelerated further as all aspects of daily life from banking, education, and shopping were forced to switch and adapt to the digital ecosystem. This had led to increased use of data consumption and internet bandwidth across the country, driven by the ever-expanding reach of social media, increased use of smart devices, data localization, increased adoption of cloud services, and digital transformation journeys of several Indian companies.
India accounts for 14% of the world’s mobile subscriptions and 15% of the total mobile data traffic. This is likely to increase to 17% by 2027 as our economy is poised to grow despite a global slowdown and other economic headwinds. Hence, it is evident that a substantial volume of data will be generated that will require enhanced storage capacity.
While the presence of data centers is primarily in the major metropolitan locations as of now, soon tier II & III cities will emerge and offer quality supply for this new-age asset class. As manufacturing and warehousing spread out across the country to deliver and service demand from the non-metro market, data centers in the future are more likely to make their way to such locations.
Our survey of IT-ITeS professionals across the country reveals that improvement in operational efficiency is the topmost priority. The specialized operators in this domain are likely to rule the market as most companies are comfortable paying a premium for the efficiency in services and eased operations.
Our latest publication on the preparedness for the future of data centers reveals many more interesting and lesser-known details on this sunshine sector.
