Understanding the Broader Context in the Industry
The world of facility management continues to change rapidly in the wake of COVID-19, with organizations continuing to explore hybrid work models and ways to enhance their facilities with digital tools.

Today, this translates to tools and vendors that offer:
- Comprehensive, actionable data about facility operations, occupant behavior and asset performance
- IoT tools like building systems integrations, digital models and predictive analytics
- A range of software features like preventive maintenance tools, spare parts inventory, vendor management, work scheduling, sanitation and reporting features
