Johnson Controls, a global leader in smart, healthy and sustainable buildings, was named the overall leader for its Smart Building management platform in the Smart Building Management Platforms competitive assessment, conducted by ABI Research, a global technology intelligence firm. Researchers assessed the Johnson Controls OpenBlue ecosystem of connected technologies and services, scoring it highest in implementation among nine other platform providers. The findings were reconfirmed in ABI Research’s 55 Technology Leaders to Watch In 2024 report.
“Buildings contribute nearly 40% of global emissions and new levels of efficiency and sustainability can only be achieved through digitalisation,” said Johnson Controls Chief Technology Officer, Vijay Sankaran. “This recognition that OpenBlue digital technology and services is the overall market leader is a testament to the ongoing dedication and commitment to innovation that we have to creating the Smart Buildings of the future.”
For this competitive assessment, ABI Research compared nine major commercial building platforms capable of digitising, capturing, managing, monitoring and improving the performance across a broad cross-section of commercial building verticals, applications and portfolios. Researchers scored Johnson Controls overall highest among the other providers based on the company’s commitment to supporting existing and new clients with its highly functional OpenBlue platform and related services.
“Johnson Controls was the overall leading vendor in ABI Research’s market assessment. The Johnson Controls OpenBlue architecture represents a cohesive and comprehensive suite of offerings to accelerate Smart Building management, build awareness and increase adoption of Smart Buildings,” said Rithika Thomas, Industry Analyst at ABI Research.
