• text: Existing properties with separate building automation, lighting and security systems that need a shared operational view.

objections

• objection: Integrating our installed equipment could require costly hardware replacement.
  response: Historical product copy describes interfacing with existing hardware and little or no additional hardware. Confirm compatibility and availability before making a commitment.
• objection: Can this work at the scale of our flagship building?
  response: The historical case describes a one-million-square-foot office deployment. Request current references and a scoped pilot before relying on the claim.
• objection: Is the vendor available to support a new deployment?
  response: The site was unreachable during this research and present operations are unverified. Confirm the company and support arrangements directly.
