So, do the benefits. A company in stage 2: Single digital, for example, is starting to bundle multiple solutions from a single vendor, which can help them streamline management and software costs. At the third stage, though, they\u2019ve moved to a single solution that generates additional operational value, especially through cross-solution functionality, digital mapping, and combined data sets. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">But for sustainability goals, companies report the same roadblocks remain at\u00a0every stage.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Leaders can leverage existing solutions to meet future sustainability targets<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Sustainability is a multifaceted challenge requiring a combination of approaches.

An integrated digital solution for workplace and facility management delivers comprehensive centralized data that empowers operational professionals to paint a complete, sharply focused picture of performance. From there, they can leverage data-backed decision-making into operational efficiencies that cut costs \u2014 and in the process reduce facility carbon footprints \u2014 across the real-estate portfolio.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">For example, an organization can use occupancy and utilization data to determine how much and what types of space it needs. Instead of wasting energy heating, cooling, lighting, and cleaning two floors of office space, it can right-size down to one. And if the company knows people are coming into the office to connect and collaborate with colleagues, it can reduce the number of individual desks to make more space for conference rooms to maximize utilization.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Preventive maintenance is all about making everything last, keeping as much as possible out of the landfill for as long as you can. And a properly maintained asset runs more efficiently, consuming less energy over its now longer life cycle. Facility management solutions start with a complete hierarchy that connects assets with their maintenance and repair histories and associated parts and materials. From there, the maintenance team sets up and schedules a preventive maintenance program that cuts costs by using less material, fewer parts.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"3\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Operational efficiency means sustainability<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Leaders face many challenges. Supporting employee connection and collaboration in the era of the hybrid work model requires integrated sensor-backed digital solutions, while optimizing facility management\u00a0relies on sophisticated, centralized data sets and strategies. Ensuring the uptime of revenue-generating assets depends on proactive maintenance.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Closely connected to all these solutions is sustainability. It\u2019s there when you set sensors to adjust HVAC and lights in empty rooms in real time. It\u2019s a part of why you leverage larger data right-size the enterprise-wide real-estate portfolio. Instead of seeing sustainability as a separate set of goals, leaders should think of it as one element under the umbrella of operational efficiency, allowing them to solve sustainability with software solutions they already have or plan to implement in the near future.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sustainability is a multifaceted challenge requiring a combination of approaches.
