We advise companies on how to improve the effectiveness and extend the lifecycle of their products and services for building automation, elevators, HVAC, lighting, security, and fire safety.
We help building technology companies respond to today’s challenges and position themselves for long-term growth. This includes addressing such topics as demand fluctuation, lifecycle profitability, opportunities in Asia and Latin America, energy efficiency and changing regulations, and the increasing influence of IT companies in building automation.
Our Advanced Electronics Practice serves multinational players, niche product companies, large conglomerates, and small and medium-sized enterprises around the world. Our global presence uniquely positions us to help clients analyze regional construction trends and identify opportunities in mature markets and emerging ones.
We advise clients on a range of topics, including strategy, organization, and service operations. Our consultants, many of whom have backgrounds in engineering, electronics, and high tech, understand the intricacies of research and development, manufacturing, and supply chain. Having supported many design-to-value efforts, we have deep expertise in how to optimize the performance and cost of building technology products. We also have experience advising on service contracts and service operations, both of which are increasingly important to our clients.
We support clients in the following areas:
We supported a multinational client that had concerns about the profitability of a large-scale plant building contract. We helped the client develop a program to manage capital expenditures. By applying a number of nontraditional cost improvement measures, the client reduced expenditures by 15 percent.
