FACILITIES MANAGEMENT CASE STUDIES

The Unified Physical Infrastructure^SM Approach

A Unique Approach to Enable Facility Managers to Align, Converge, and Optimize Building Systems

by Panduit Corporation www.panduit.com

Physical infrastructure systems traditionally have been designed, deployed, and operated separately, often in proprietary silos. When critical systems are integrated through proprietary technologies, they remain inefficient and underutilized because they cannot be leveraged across the enterprise to deliver the greatest value. Customers are demanding robust and innovative infrastructure solutions that address cross-functional challenges across business and technological domains, opening the door for seamless convergence and interoperability of all core systems.

The growing interdependence of systems and applications, and the physical infrastructure needs of each, requires the integration of traditionally disparate and proprietary systems. Effective harmonization of critical systems – communication, computing, power, control, and security - is key to improving performance throughout the enterprise and managing risk into the future. The comprehensive and holistic Unified Physical Infrastructure^SM approach enables organizations to connect, manage and automate critical systems and drive operational, financial and sustainability advantages, allowing your business to minimize risk, lower cost, and heighten agility and reliability.

UPI-based solutions span all core enterprise systems

Innovative UPI-based physical infrastructure solutions enable risk mitigation, infrastructure efficiency and productivity along with a substantial reduction in operational costs. The degree of unification across the physical infrastructure can be defined in terms of three levels – Align, Converge, and Optimize – which indicate the extent of integration of the five critical systems across the enterprise area.
