Customer challenge

Building management systemshave been around for decadesand have been installed tomanage the building servicessystems. As technology hasadvanced, these systems havebecome more complex andcustomers are finding themincreasingly difficult to manageand operate efficiently. Many BMSsystems are based on proprietaryor closed protocols; which meansyou become locked into a specificvendor. This makes life bothdifficult and expensive to adapt asyour business needs change andas new technologies are required.

Today you expect to have open,best of breed, systems withsimple interfaces that are intuitive– enabling the effectivemanagement of buildings andestates.

With ambitious green legislationtargets, rising energy costs andchanging user and tenantrequirements, it is becomingimperative that all buildingsystems are integrated. Thisprovides the required levels ofcontrol and monitoring andprovides complete information,enabling you to make informedbusiness decisions. In summary,stand-alone proprietary systemsdo not adequately address theneeds of today’s businesses inrelation to integration,functionality and reporting ofinformation.
