Smart Buildings Technology
Make Your Building Smart
We will help you solve problems and use technology and IoT to achieve business objectives and goals the smart way.
Technology Is The Future of Your Business
Your business doesn’t need technology to continue to operate as it currently does, but you do need to employ technology to get better.
There are four major reasons why integrating technology is often times difficult.
- Firms have current low data consistency, capture, and quality, especially for the level of quality needed to run advanced data analytics.
- It’s difficult to integrate standardized systems. Every city, property type, individual property, is unique. It’s difficult to integrate technology that allows this variability to be captured effectively by each individual user.
- Firms are required to subscribe to multiple, sometimes dozens, of different technology providers to achieve decent coverage of the decision-making process. Many times, these multiple technologies aren’t compatible and the process can’t flow seamlessly.
- Most “solutions” being offered are surface-level, incremental improvements to tasks rather than foundational changes to operations.
Smart Building Technology Made Simple
So what’s holding you back from installing smart technologies and Internet of Things devices in your building? For many, the wide spectrum of possibilities is precisely the problem. It can be tough to know where to start with smart building technology when there are IoT applications for nearly every building system.
We Evaluate Smart Technologies and IOT for You
Although it looks simple there are different layers that consist of several technologies and options for an IoT project. Moreover, it is not just a matter of combining the right technologies across the IoT technology stack but also about doing so in an accurate, secure and cost-effective way.
At ECOCAUSE, choosing which smart technology and IoT provider is a crucial decision in implementing smart building technology. We help you determine:
- What are you trying to solve? We understand where the finish line is before we start running the race.
- How is IoT the answer to solving your problem? We help our clients to stop falling down the path of continuing to do more traditional methods and look for opportunities to start the transition into an IoT-based approach.
- How much can this save you compared to the investment? A good IoT solution should enable a quick payback with continual savings, that’s what we guarantee.
- Is it scalable? We look for scalability so that you can expand to other floors, building systems or facilities in your portfolio after our initial successes.
- Does it have full integration? A challenge of IoT implementation is that there’s still a lot of separation between hardware and software, and often times, we need a variety of hardware vendors and software to implement IoT. We’ve partnered with the top vendors that can fully integrate with each other so you’re not stuck trying to put the pieces together on your own.
IoT and The Data Gold Mine
You are sitting on a treasure trove of potential insights on your building and business. IoT implementation can provide a host of benefits that optimize business workflows, resulting in greater efficiency and productivity.
We Know Your Problems
Buildings lose out on a large chunk of revenue because there often is a lack of central visibility and accurate, real time data availability.
We Understand Your Challenges
Today, buildings are encompassed in a siloed, multi-vendor system that results in unexplored data and lack of operational transparency.
Don’t lose out on the opportunities big data can provide. We will help you determine what the end value of the data is that you want to collect, help you to start accessing the data you need and will turn that data into meaningful reporting.
