Logicalis "Logicalis sits on the curve of technological change, making technology an asset for society" Produced a report which investigates how technology is currently being used in commercial buildings and the possibilities which could be realised in the future. What did I do? Smart Buildings Report It considered how this technology could be implemented and the sorts of barriers organisations might face: Attitude change Lack of exemplary use cases Additional security threats Aim 1: Produce a report which investigates the use of technology in commercial buildings Aims Aims Aim 2: Use this report as a discussion point to engage with Logicalis' customers and partners. Collate feedback and iterate the report to dicuss how it can derive value for them Aim 3: Work with Logicalis teams to identify key challenges and potential benefits of Smart Building technology to create a go-to-market strategy to engage with customers Approach and structure Approach and structure Smart buildings are capturing the attention of both businesses and academics because they are situated in the popular Smart City narrative An organisation which uses smart building technology will be able to retain more staff and crucially attract talent.
