A consortium of more than ten housing providers, led by sector ideas and innovation agency HACT, have launched a major initiative to create a common data standard for the social housing sector that stands ready to revolutionise the housing digital landscape.
The project, which paves the way for the adoption of a new standardised data descriptions across the sector, is poised to transform the way housing providers store, interpret and share data.
It will enable more effective systems integration, more cost effective technology-led innovation, and better performance benchmarking.
It also holds the potential for lower cost overheads associated with mergers, at a time of consolidation across the sector.
