In the 2021 survey, AI was\u00a0 seen by only 16 percent of respondents as being the technology likely to have the most significant impact on the industry within five years, ranking behind big data analytics and business process automation and just one percentage point ahead of the Internet of Things.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin:

companies continue to struggle with adopting more digitally driven workflows. Of the respondents, 27 percent indicated that they were uncertain what their next step would be in adopting artificial intelligence while 24 percent said that their companies had not yet begun investigating the technology\u2019s potential.<\/p>\n<p>As steps on the path toward implementing artificial intelligence, the panellists appearing at the report launch event saw opportunities to take steps involving more basic systems.<\/p>\n<p>The speakers on the panel, which was moderated by Yardi&#8217;s Devine and Mingtiandi\u2019s Cole, included Alice Chen, co-founder and general counsel at Investax; Matthew Nortcliff, a partner with Goodwin\u2019s private funds group; Zak Ungerman, a managing director with Emergent Capital Partners and Elizabeth Low, a senior analyst for customer solutions and partnerships with the logistics division of ESR.<\/p>\n<p>Low noted that her company, which has grown rapidly through both organic expansion and acquisitions, has been helping to standardise its sales systems through adoption of a group-wide customer relationship management (CRM) system.<\/p>\n<p>For Chen, whose company operates natively on the Internet, basic online systems are a must-have for businesses, whether in real estate or other industries.<\/p>\n<h3>User Resistance Remains<\/h3>\n<p>In parallel with earlier surveys, this year\u2019s poll found obstinate teams to be the primary barrier to innovation at companies, with 42 percent of respondents indicating resistance among users as the biggest obstacle to adoption of new technologies. Mismatches between system functions and business needs were seen as the biggest hurdle by 25 percent of respondents, to rank second in the category.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a
