I don’t want to force them to use something they don’t want to use. So we designed our software to be really friendly and to connect [with multiple platforms]. So [we’re] trying to create that connectivity and those partnerships as much as we can.” (10:00) - Matt Singer“Facility managers have to be able to adapt to [artificial intelligence] and ultimately support it. So [it’s important to be] on the forefront of AI and understanding how it can impact me and how I can build my entire strategy around incorporating artificial intelligence predictability, right?” (11:29) - Matt Singer“I think platforms like Ecotrak really are the future of FM, and facility managers and their jobs are really going to drastically change over the next five years.” (15:35) - Shawn Blackcgpconstruction.com
