Executive Summary
This report provides facilities and real estate executives with advice on how to strengthen their building Internet of Things (IoT) analytics programme. The study finds that facility managers should advance their IoT analytics programmes by focusing on the integration of IoT data and insights with workflows, to drive smarter actions across cleaning, energy management and maintenance. Firms can also speed up data quality enhancement processes by using artificial intelligence (AI) data cleaning tools and data estimation solutions. Alongside this, organizations should place much greater emphasis on the cybersecurity of their network, pursuing strategies such as zero trust to secure their infrastructure, and consider the implementation of edge computing capabilities for future value generation. Firms that have already started their IoT journey should use this report to understand how to maximize value from their IoT data.Best Practices For Modernizing Your Building IoT Analytics Programme
