🎧 #138: The one where James gets interviewed

The Nexus Podcast

"Building owners need a lot more than what siloed systems are capable of. Smart building solutions need to solve that problem by integrating with those systems, and in the next phases, adopting more of a horizontal architecture where building owners are not buying all of these redundant layers anymore from a bunch of different vendors. But if we're all speaking from different sheets of music, we're never going have that infrastructure and we're never going to be able to do these more sophisticated things with our buildings."
