At first glance, your building’s network setup may seem fine. Internet’s running. Cameras are up. HVAC hums along. But behind the scenes? You might be bleeding cash through a web of redundant systems you didn’t even know were there.
It’s death by a thousand network connections—and your bottom line is the one taking the hit.
Here’s what many property owners and managers don’t realize: having multiple networks for internet access, smart building controls, and security systems isn’t just inefficient. It’s expensive, outdated, and downright risky.

The Hidden Cost of Doing Nothing
Every extra system means more contracts to manage, more vendors to negotiate with (or get strong-armed by), and more headaches when things go sideways. You’re not just paying for extra equipment—you’re paying for duplicate CapEx, maintenance costs, and underutilized services.
And here’s the kicker: in some cases, you're actually buying different versions of the same thing from the same vendor. With the current wave of market consolidation, you may have more bargaining power than you think—but only if you know where to look.
We won't give away too much (yet), but here’s a little teaser from our upcoming June 24 Playbook drop:
- Some buildings have smart systems installed that were never even turned on.
- Others are locked into outdated pricing models that no one has questioned in years.
- And many could replace three or more networks with one unified solution.
The result? Better OpEx, better performance, total control of your digital infrastructure, and fewer people needed on-site. Our FiveFactor Prioritization Approach breaks it all down—but that’s a story for the full playbook.
