If you've read the news lately, there will soon be a lot of available real estate.  Why? Because the retail landscape is changing, and leaving a lot of excess 'capacity'.  That means there are going to be a lot of corporate real estate managers who wish they had a system to manage these assets.  

That leads to the question - just what functional and technical requirements should a commercial real estate management software meet?
