Will it rain tomorrow? When was AI invented? What is herd immunity?
It’s fast and easy to find answers to just about any question today.
But that hasn’t always been the case. Just a few decades ago, curious
minds had to rely on networking, libraries, information hubs, and
other resources to search for answers to their queries.

Then in 1996, a search engine called BackRub was born. BackRub was
rechristened as Google in 1997—a play on the word googol, which means
the number 1 followed by 100 zeroes.
And the way people sought information was changed forever.
Today, when you search for a good restaurant nearby, Google returns a
complete picture of what you seek—website, hours, phone number, street
address, menu, guest reviews—by collating information from multiple
data sources, like Google Maps, the restaurant's website, Yelp, Google
ratings, and more.
All of the information you’re likely to need. In one spot. Organized
intuitively.
Google made it fast and easy for people to make decisions with
phenomenal clarity.
In the same way, a single, accessible source of truth would make life
easier for the real estate industry, too. Consolidating contextual
data in one platform would make it easier for property owners and
operators to get answers to hard questions, focus on what’s important,
and make informed decisions.
The goal of our curation this month is to help you forward on the path
to unifying your own operational data so you, too, can enjoy speed,
convenience, and clarity in your steps to improve operational
efficiency.
