Corporations globally have been focusing on digital transformation for their strategies and operations. Additionally, they are leveraging AI to enhance their competitiveness. These developments have led to an explosion in data center demand. The real estate industry has traditionally been slow to adopt new technologies, but that is shifting. The convergence of real estate and new technology is accelerating the need for data centers, colocation, and network solutions.
At the forefront of this integration is James P. Quinn, an Executive Managing Director at Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL). JLL, a Fortune 200 Company, is a leading global commercial real estate company with a comprehensive global platform for advisory services. Quinn, with over 25 years of experience, is recognized as a preeminent thought leader in technology real estate globally. He is also the author of “Tech Trends 24/7 and the Impact of COVID-19,” a book recommended by CIO Insight for CIOs.
Pioneering Data-Driven Strategies
Quinn and his team, comprising a technology attorney, colocation executive, and technology market research specialist, provide a proprietary “technology portfolio analysis” that examines a company’s technology portfolio, including data centers, IT infrastructure, network connectivity spend, real estate footprint, and own data centers.
By analyzing granular spending metrics across these areas, Quinn’s team can uncover opportunities for cost optimization, operational efficiencies, and strategic realignment of technology investments. Their approach involves data aggregation and transparency, advanced analytics and modeling, cross-functional collaboration, actionable recommendations, and continuous monitoring and optimization.
Quinn notes, “Over the last six months, CFOs, CIOs, and technology teams have realized that their technology-spend metrics are substantially above their initial budgets. This has led to an urgency for technology teams to find creative solutions and saving opportunities.”
Collaborative Approach to Innovation
Quinn’s leadership style focuses on teamwork, leveraging the collective expertise of his professionals. “Leveraging combined metrics from technology and real estate portfolios identifies savings, flexibility, digital transformation strategy, and an enhanced work and technology environment—that’s the game plan,” Quinn emphasizes.
Quinn recognizes that siloed teams can hinder strategic planning. The pandemic’s shift to remote work exacerbated this lack of collaboration among corporate teams.
National and Global Expansions
Another important area for corporations is the ability to scale data center requirements nationally and globally. Historically, a portion of these requirements were completed quickly to scale, with corporations self-performing, often leading to overpaying on multiple transactions. To address this, Quinn and his team assist corporations in scaling data center, colocation, and network requirements by leveraging a global database of colocation comps, data center valuations, and network spend metrics.
Quinn conveyed, “We provide our clients with the best intellectual capital, strategy, relevant costs, and comps to achieve the most cost-effective solution with the best technology.”
Embracing Technological Advancements
Through Quinn’s collaborative focus, JLL offers solutions to Fortune 500 clients, using advanced data analytics for informed decisions on site selection, deal structure optimization, and landlord due diligence.
“We have access to top executives and innovators in the technology and real estate industries to understand market trends and drive value for our clients,” states Quinn.
For Fortune 500 companies, embracing technological advancements like artificialintelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and blockchain are crucial to remaining competitive and future-proofing operations.
Pioneering the Future of Integrated Real Estate and Technology Solutions
As the lines between technology and real estate blur, James Quinn’s expertise and innovative solutions, coupled with JLL’s comprehensive platform, are making a significant impact in this evolving sector. Through data-driven strategies, collaborative teamwork, and a keen awareness of market trends, Quinn and his team empower global corporations to drive digital transformation in the changing business landscape.
