What do you think about data standards in social housing?
Are they unnecessary or urgently needed? How could data standards help your internal and external operations? What’s the role of the social housing sector’s IT suppliers to support data standards? And how and where would you actually use data standards within your housing operations?
These are just a few of the questions that Housing Technology’s editorial and research team is currently investigating through our online survey of social housing providers’ views on data standards (of all flavours, complexities and scope), with support from the UK Government’s Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government, HACT and Open Data Exchange.
If you’ve not yet done so, we’d really appreciate it if you could spare five minutes (we promise – the survey is quick and easy) to complete our ‘Data Standards in Social Housing 2025’ survey at housing-technology.com/report/data-standards-2025.
Our Data Standards in Housing 2025 survey (and subsequent report) covers:
• Housing providers’ current understanding of data standards.
• The advantages and disadvantages of internal, external and shared data standards.
• Specific use-cases for data standards within housing providers’ operations.
• Tools and resources for adopting data standards.
• IT and business drivers and barriers to the adoption of data standards.
• Data standards and the role of APIs, middleware & application integration..
Please complete our short online survey at housing-technology.com/report/data-standards-2025 (n.b. only applicable to social housing providers); in return we’ll send you an advance copy of our final Data Standards in Housing 2025 report in January 2025.
