That’s a lot of digital value at stake. Take a look at the 9 areas driving cost savings, efficiencies, and revenue generation—and see how they all add up.
Smart Cities
Smart City projects can increase citizen satisfaction and economic development, as well as improve safety and sustainability. Citizens can benefit from lifestyle offers that add incremental value to their daily lives. There has never been a better time for city planners to consider smart city initiatives as a path to positioning their city as a destination for digitally-savvy consumers.
Smart Buildings
Smart buildings mean smart business. The era of buildings that don't provide personalized value and security is rapidly coming to an end. Improve employee and occupant satisfaction with smart solutions that increase productivity and comfort within a space.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is advancing a new breed of smart technologies for buildings that can closely align with advances in mobility and smart phones to greatly enhance occupant experiences and add to building monetization .
