<p>In this episode, Griffin sits down with Peter Costanzo of <a href="https://roicg.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">ROI Consulting Group</a> to explore how facilities management technology is rapidly evolving—and why the industry is finally hitting an inflection point.</p><p>Peter shares his unexpected path into FM tech and what’s kept him in the space for over two decades: the increasing complexity, opportunity, and impact of technology on building operations. From the growing role of IT and HR in facilities decisions to the rise of workplace experience as a priority, facilities teams are becoming more integrated than ever before.</p><p>The conversation dives into major trends shaping the future of FM, including AI, predictive maintenance, and the explosion of sensors. Peter highlights how falling sensor costs and improved connectivity are making smarter buildings more accessible—and how large players like Siemens, Schneider Electric, and Autodesk are investing heavily in this space.</p><p>They also discuss common challenges, like outdated systems, overwhelming technology choices, and implementation failures. A key theme: success with FM tech isn’t just about buying the right tools—it’s about long-term thinking, cross-functional collaboration, and actually using the systems to their full potential.</p><p>If you’re trying to make sense of where FM technology is headed—or where to even begin—this episode offers a grounded, real-world perspective on what’s changing and what it means for facilities teams moving forward.</p><p><br></p><p>Resources:</p><p><a href="https://roicg.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">ROI Consulting Group</a></p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/peterjcostanzo/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Peter Costanzo LinkedIn </a></p>
