What Benefits can be achieved?

At the implementation phase, the use of a common shared infrastructure means just that: a single system is installed once but is then utilised many times over. Since it is using internationally recognised standards-based technology - rather than the proprietary systems which have been such a feature of the property sector in the past, new applications and solutions can quickly and easily be run across the existing infrastructure.

When it comes to operational benefits, intelligent building systems, because of their integration are inherently flexible and capable of delivering much improved functionality compared with disparate, standalone systems. Adds, moves and changes are simpler and can be undertaken in-house, rather than having to contact the original supplier of the system.

Maintenance and support costs can also be reduced, allowing resources to be employed in a more targeted and thus more efficient manner.
