NRTA Survey: Retailers moving away from point solutions

Retail technology expert and Lucernex President, Joe Valeri (see Joe’s management summary here), discusses one takeaway from the recent joint NRTA / Lucernex survey on retailer FASB readiness.

We recently concluded a joint survey with the National Retail Tenants Association (NRTA) focused on the retailers’ perspective of the impact of the FASB changes and their readiness for those changes. One of the great things about collecting this much data at once is that many different dimensions can be explored. The finding that intrigued me the most was HOW retailers are planning to solve the problem and WHO they were involving in the resolution.

CoreNet … “There is no opportunity like a crisis!”

Manager of Lucernex Lease Analysis products, Mike Hammerslag, discusses his recent trip to CoreNet’s annual conference.

Good Morning! I have just returned from the CoreNet Global Summit in Chicago and I am glad to report that it was a fantastic event.

Perhaps the highlight for me was none other than the Monday morning keynote speech by Greg Lindsay. Mr. Lindsay did the finest presentation on agglomeration (under the guise of changing social dynamics) that I have ever seen! And remember that compliment comes from a former academic who actually taught the topic for 10 years. (more…)
