Will your approach to smart building operations in 2025 differ from what you did in 2024?
If your answer is no, you may be missing out on some big opportunities for energy and cost savings that could bring long term benefits to your organisation. For your 2025 plans, you don’t want to overlook key areas such as sustainability, corporate ESG, and strategic maintenance management. It’s also important to take a look at your relationships with FM Services. And what would better data integrations between RE & FM operations and departments such as Finance and IT bring your organisation in 2025? What if you could extend the benefits of your ERP system with an IWMS?
But, maybe, you’re limited on time to do research now? Don’t worry, we’ve put together this blog with links to our top reads in our resource library to give you a quick refresher on all of these topics, which will surely continue to cause disruption in 2025.
ESG standards and reporting regulations
