Another needed enhanced ability to continue following a “build-as-we-go” approach and to service equipment while it's “hot.” A third wanted faster yet less expensive connectivity for their electrical gear.

Each facility had a very different solution. Two retrofitted their critical power management system and the third built it from scratch. According to the article, each answer offers  a lesson for facilities managers who need to build or modernize their critical power management systems.
