Depends on who you ask. Forget the cyberhype and the technobabble, but always remember the customer. The smartest building is the one that's 100-percent leased.
Technology is both an asset and an amenity.
Today's businesses thrive on information. The tools used to access, store, retrieve, manipulate, and communicate information are critical assets no matter whether the tenant is a doctor, lawyer, or Internet service provider. To building managers, providing tenants with an infostructure offers the ultimate marketing opportunity. Technology will attract tenants. Build gateways, not monuments.
