Building technology has grown significantly in the last few decades and should serve as an integral component to a successful facility management program, according to an article from Building Operating Management on the FacilitiesNet website.

- Define the workflows
- Develop system specifications
- Research potential providers
- Solicit and evaluate proposals
- Interview top candidates
- Contract and begin implementation
