Today’s building management solutions need to work harder than ever to deliver value and justify the investment decision. It’s no longer enough for a window, door or other building component to simply perform its primary function.

Tenants may go through the leasing process only two or three times in their entire lifetime — yet they have to negotiate against seasoned professionals who negotiate leases every day for a living.
