In our fourth supplement "Connecting Convergence," prepared for Engineered Systems, Anto Budiardjo and I identify the major trends that are fuelling the connection of real-time data to our client's enterprise. For the most part, convergence has already occurred. What is left to do is to sort out who will be the players and which standards will be used in providing these essential connections.

He outlines the drivers and trends and then analyzes what is going on to move us forward in delivering value to building owners and operators.
For background on the convergence we are talking about, see the previous three supplements:
