The Data revolution has come about due to the huge increase in the amount of information we're able to capture and analyse from an ever growing number of sources. Data is transforming everything; especially data in real time. Data can change the way companies in every industry do business and assess and manage operational performance. Corporations are directing executives and managers to implement or improve upon organizational initiatives such as Sustainability, Energy Management, Maintenance, Operation Management, Capital Improvements, Project Management and Facility Management.
However, when it comes to data, most organizations do not have a unified data management plan for their building(s). What passes for a "data management plan" consists of a database associated with building equipment such as HVAC and maybe few of the other systems and equipment that make up the building operational assets.
