This is a virtual event recap. This event was be exclusive to building owners and a select group of Nexus Labs partner vendors who focus on the adoption of tech tools to help digitize and optimize maintenance.

Digitizing building maintenance is critical for efficiency, visibility, and operational success. But even the best digital tools fail without user adoption. Maintenance teams and technicians must find genuine value in these tools; they should simplify their work, not complicate it.

In this session, we discussed strategies with fellow building owners:

  • What CMMS features are building owners seeing the most value from?

  • What change management tactics have driven successful software adoption?

  • How are others effectively centralizing data from multiple teams during maintenance on your buildings?

The heart of this event was smaller breakout rooms to discuss best practices with your peers. These were open, peer-driven discussions. Afterwards, we had a brief, lightning-round of demos from technology partners, showcasing real-world examples of intuitive interfaces and insightful analytics that technicians actually want to use.Ā
