Transforming Building Operations: The Power of Unified Data

Walk into any building operations office, and you’ll probably see it: a patchwork of dashboards, each tied to a different system. HVAC trends on one screen. Lighting controls on another. Energy meters tucked into their own proprietary portal. If you’re managing more than one building, multiply that chaos by ten.

While each system tells its own story, the real picture — the one that shows how your buildings are performing together — is scattered, incomplete, and frustratingly hard to get.

Data Silos Everywhere

Modern buildings are packed with technology — BMS, IoT sensors, meters, access control, lighting controls, environmental monitors, and more. The problem? These systems don’t speak the same language.

Even if they use “standard” protocols like BACnet or Modbus, naming conventions, units, and point structures vary wildly between manufacturers and even between sites from the same vendor.

That means:

• Reports are inconsistent from site to site.

• Engineers spend hours manually cleaning up data.

• Portfolio-wide insights are nearly impossible.

  
  

For many teams, simply preparing for an audit or performance review can take days of pulling, formatting, and reconciling data.

The Cost of the Status Quo

It’s not just a time sink — fragmented data comes with real financial and operational costs:

• Missed efficiency opportunities because you can’t see trends across your portfolio.

• Delayed fault detection because the signals are buried in inconsistent datasets.

• Inefficient audits that waste resources and stall other projects.

  
  

As your portfolio grows, so does the complexity. Onboarding a new building often means starting integrations from scratch — and introducing yet another “flavor” of data to manage.

The Solution: One Unified Data Backbone

That’s where Prizm Connect comes in. It’s a scalable, vendor-agnostic integration platform that unifies, cleans, and standardizes your building data — no matter the protocol, manufacturer, or site configuration.

With Prizm Connect, every system speaks the same language, ready to feed analytics, dashboards, reports, and third-party applications.

How Prizm Connect Works

1. Universal System Integration

• Connects to any BMS, IoT platform, or operational data source.

• Supports BACnet, Modbus, MQTT, and more.

• Integrates HVAC, lighting, access control, meters, and environmental systems.




2. Automated Data Standardization

• Normalizes naming conventions, point types, and units portfolio-wide.

• Eliminates the need for manual cleanup.




3. Scalable Architecture

• Deploy integration logic once, replicate anywhere — from a single building to multi-country portfolios.




4. Real-Time Data Streaming & Storage

• Secure cloud or on-prem storage.

• Maintains historical records for audits and performance analysis.




5. Intelligent Data Routing

• Feeds standardized data to any destination: dashboards, analytics, FDD, or AI tools.

The Impact of Unified Data

With Prizm Connect in place, your team stops wrestling with messy integrations and starts focusing on what matters:

• Optimizing performance.

• Reducing costs.

• Driving sustainability initiatives.

  
  

The result is a single source of truth for your entire portfolio — reliable, standardized, and ready to power insights that actually move the needle.

Disconnected building data isn’t just an inconvenience — it’s an obstacle to smarter, more efficient operations. By creating a clean, unified data foundation, Prizm Connect turns a patchwork of systems into a connected ecosystem that works for you, not against you.
