Information Technology (IT) is the foundation behind Innovative Systems Architecture™ providing the framework and approach to designing the strategic and technical aspects of an open-standards communication infrastructure. It includes the necessary combination of business strategy with information architecture. Information Technology and Direct Digital Control systems can be designed into an interoperable communications infrastructure. It is important that device and protocol selections are defined in the strategic portfolio planning phase to ensure proper system functionality and interoperability.

Innovative Systems Architecture™

A truly interoperable communications infrastructure integrates the horizontal cables and pathways for all building systems and can reduce initial construction costs by 10-30%. The actual level of savings achieved is dependent upon the infrastructure architecture and the geographical pricing for material and labor.

Innovative Systems Architecture™ advances information technology and full enterprise IP based building automation systems by providing a secure, flexible, and scalable communications infrastructure, replacing the disparate cabling infrastructures for the communications, security, and building automation systems.
