https://kodelabs.com/ have an interesting platform around comprehensive "Smart" building management.

https://spaceti.com/ is another up and coming one that caught my eye at ISE.  They have built an AI engine focused on:

- Simplified data interpretation
- Actionable advice
- Real-time assistance
- Proactive problem solving

I like that Logitech has entered the game at scale with their SPOT sensor, like Microsoft entering, with Places, and Cisco with Spaces, we need to get beyond all these small "startup" software platform and sensor players that just can't fully tackle the scale and breadth/depth of the opportunity.  And I love that all three of them are seeing that Collaboration technologies are so integrally linked given the core to the very existence of the enterprise workplace now is collaboration.

In my discussions with some of the "Smart Building" world, they are often amazed that the AV/UC collaboration industry hasn't stepped more into this world given the inherent natural skillsets and market position we have.

Couldn't agree more Virginia!  But the approach to doing so is still fragmented.  Microsoft Places is perhaps the Gorilla in this early game, though still has a lot of maturing to do.  There are certainly "Smart Building" players who have been in the game for a while, but have tended to approach things from an RE&F realm.  There are room and desk booking players, but they lack depth.  I think there is a huge white space right now to actually implementing data metrics that go beyond simple" occupancy" and into measuring impact and outcome of enterprise scale Modern Workplace strategies for companies.  Are there any platforms you think are leading here?
