Why This Digital Technology Conference Matters
As organizations continue to invest in digital transformation, facility and workplace leaders are increasingly focused on how to connect systems, improve data quality, and turn information into actionable insights. Digital technology platforms are now central to managing space, maintenance, energy performance, and workplace experience at scale.
This conference highlights how Johnson Controls is advancing its digital technology ecosystem through OpenBlue and related platforms, enabling organizations to unify data across systems and make more informed operational decisions. The shift toward AI-driven insights and integrated platforms is redefining how facilities are managed and optimized.
Content Summary
MIT Lincoln Laboratory had long used OpenBlue Workplace, but primarily in a limited capacity. As the organization sought to improve how space data was governed, shared, and used for decision-making, MIT LL began a broader effort to establish Workplace as a trusted source of truth for its space portfolio.
This initiative required more than expanding a technology platform – it required clarifying ownership of space data, aligning stakeholders across the organization, and developing sustainable processes for managing and maintaining accurate information.
Working alongside AMS Workplace Technology as a technical implementation partner, MIT LL defined new workflows, refined business requirements, and expanded the platform through multiple phases of implementation. The effort brought together organizational leadership, facilities teams, and technical specialists to address challenges related to data governance, system integration, and long-term adoption.
This session will share MIT LL’s journey – from early planning and stakeholder alignment to navigating data and integration complexities – while highlighting practical lessons learned. Attendees will gain insight into how organizations can evolve workplace technology platforms into trusted operational systems for managing and understanding their space portfolio.
Key Takeaways
Attendees will learn how organizations can establish governance and ownership for space data across multiple stakeholders, build trust in workplace and facilities data, plan for multi-phase IWMS implementation, address data readiness and integrations, and support long-term platform sustainability through organizational alignment, change management, and technical execution.
