CBRE Business Intelligence Architecture
The CBRE Business Intelligence architecture is designed to accommodate virtually all data sources. The diagram below shows how our architecture and data governance process combine to enable truly integrated reporting, while also remaining flexible and scalable.

Information
is sourced from various systems and tools before undergoing a detailed process
to cleanse, conform, consolidate, and audit the data. A single source of common
data is then used across multiple systems to establish integrated reports and
visual dashboards. These dashboards become the new starting point to investigate,
identify, analyze, and answer business-critical decisions.
Data Governance
Data governance is the foundation for our solutions. Strong data governance requires strict adherence to the core governance disciplines: data quality management, information lifecycle management, and security & privacy. Proper and continuous execution of these disciplines allows enterprise data to be trusted and leveraged to for decision making.
Our data
governance process for Business Intelligence begins with structured data
ingestion, standardization, unification, and mastering. This process ensures
that the all of our clients
start with a sanitized and validated set of data.

Integrated Reporting Capabilities
We believe effective client reporting begins with a deep understanding of who the client is, their business needs, goals, objectives, and challenges—and the role reporting plays in enabling them to manage and optimize their business.
There are several layers of reporting and capabilities that are available to all clients within the CBRE Business Analytics program. Key Benefits include:
● World Class Dashboards allow for dynamic delivery of data
● Customized Views for different roles within the organization
● Self Service, Standardized and Advanced Analytics Reporting
Our approach also dramatically reduces the cost and time of data acquisition for our clients and CBRE account teams so efforts can be focused on delivering meaningful analytics to drive business outcomes across the organization.
