As the internet of things ( IoT ) moves further into the realm of facilities management and construction , building-wide system integration is more important than ever before . A convergence of building , specialty , business and information systems can be attained , eliminating redundant , isolated systems managed under various vendors and communication channels . The convergence of these systems allows entities previously operating in silos to connect , share and optimise data across technology platforms , knocking down the walls of proprietary systems and using one common communication language . The result is a holistic systems environment , managed on a unified and intelligent infrastructure .
