ISS Turns to IBM Watson IoT to Transform Management of 25,000 Buildings Worldwide - Seite 2
"In today's highly competitive market, managing and servicing buildings should no longer just be about cost," said Jeff Gravenhorst, CEO of ISS. "With a dashboard overview of key building metrics displayed on mobile devices, facility managers will benefit from an integrated, real-time view of the services and supplies within their buildings enabling them to adopt a more pro-active, flexible and responsive approach to building management and customised service delivery. Putting real time data into the hands of service staff will help to foster more attentive and service-minded employees, supporting our customers in achieving their priorities. Putting a 'human touch' in buildings helps to increase employee productivity, decrease absenteeism and makes a better impression on visitors."
"With this agreement we are taking the power of technology and the power of service and putting those together to enable ISS to make buildings better for their users," said Harriet Green, General Manager, IBM Watson IoT. "The key thing is to find out how people will work in the future. By analysing data from sensors we are helping ISS to uncover new insight that will help to ensure buildings are the kinds of places where people want to be, not just need to be."
As a first step, ISS has already fitted its Copenhagen headquarters, which serves as an innovation lab for the service group, with hundreds of sensors connected to IBM's Watson IoT platform and TRIRIGA facilities management software to help improve room bookings and catering services for the 250 employees based in the building. The next phase will be the implementation of the cognitive IoT technology at selected customer sites.
