??Farmers may love 'em, but we're all about avoiding silos in your smart building. In our Foundations Series at NexusCon 2024, we discussed the fundamentals of smart buildings, including the technology stack and the ways you can integrate to avoid *infinite* panes of glass that silos bring you. Check out our own Brad Bonavida, break down the concept of silos, before we heard from leaders like Stanford University, Google, JPMorganChase, and CANNON DESIGN back these concepts up with real world examples. Nexus Pro members can watch the whole session, link below ??

IT & OT: Bridging the Gap For years, building systems operated in silos, managed by facility teams with little IT oversight. But today, as IoT devices and smart systems flood our buildings, the network has become as critical as the thermostat. At NexusCon 2024, industry leaders Kilroy Realty, Dartmouth College, and McKesson shared hard-won lessons on bridging the IT-OT gap to create more resilient, secure, and efficient building operations. Some key takeaways: ? Dartmouth College revamped its BACnet network, leveraging IT tools to diagnose issues remotely and cut troubleshooting from weeks to minutes. ? Kilroy Realty standardized OT networks across 120 buildings, enforcing enterprise-grade security and reliability. ? McKesson embedded IT rigor into OT change management, slashing network provisioning times from six months to three weeks. Nexus Labs’s article covering this critical challenge is linked in the comments. Is your organization tackling the IT-OT challenge? What strategies have worked for you? Let’s discuss! ??
