Buildings

Building management tracks properties and their relationships to customers, including ownership, tenancy, and business use, connecting buildings to addresses, locations, and jurisdictions. This use case addresses understanding property relationships, using building information for geographic and business risk assessment, tracking building ownership and occupancy changes over time, and supporting address validation and customer business location understanding.

The Challenge

Financial institutions face challenges in building management:

  • Data collection — Gathering accurate information about buildings and properties
  • Property relationships — Understanding ownership, tenancy, and business relationships to properties
  • Geographic context — Connecting buildings to addresses, jurisdictions, and regions
  • Risk assessment — Using building information for geographic and business risk assessment
  • Data quality — Maintaining accurate and up-to-date building information
  • Multiple relationships — Customers may have multiple building relationships (owner, tenant, business location)
  • Change tracking — Tracking changes in building ownership, occupancy, and use over time
  • Integration — Connecting building data with address, location, and customer records
