Executive Summary
A major trend in the real estate industry is the move towards breaking down data and operational siloes to develop better building management processes. The convergence of information technologies (IT) and operational technologies (OT), coupled with the convergence of software for energy and asset management is acting as a catalyst for dismantling building operational siloes and driving the optimization of facilities performance. Verdantix selected the facility optimization market for a Smart Innovators report because the pace of investment and innovation in this space makes it critical for customers to understand how to get the most value out of the different software solutions. This report, for executives responsible for real estate and facility management software selection, describes how new software solutions transcend the old siloes for energy management and asset management to create a new vision for facilities optimization. It identifies innovations that buyers need to be aware of when considering solutions and provides examples of facility optimization benefits achievable.Smart Innovators: Facility Optimization Management
