Digital Transformation Trends: Bringing Changes to Multifamily Operations in The New Year explores the challenges faced in 2020, as life became on-demand, and consumers acquired nearly everything with the click of a button. The webcast will take a closer look at the rapid technological transformation taking place, the massive adoption of contactless workflows, and the way communities are completely restructuring their marketing and retention practices with consumer-focused digital platforms.

“Developments made within the digital realm did not stop at the end of 2020,” Kirby explained. “Now, we’ve reached warp speed in terms of innovation, fueled by consumers demanding more conveniences than ever before. While a lot of our usual processes and workflows morphed with the help of technology over the past year, there is still plenty of room for advancement to be made in 2021.”

Joining Kirby is property management expert, Ernest F. Oriente of PowerHour, an industry professional since 1988 and the author of SmartMatch Alliances.

As with all the material we produce for our webcast series, we strive to deliver relevant, straightforward information to our audience, so they can better prepare for the newest wave of developments in the market.”

Now, tech tools are helping us overcome new challenges in today’s changing world.
