Spin the Spinner—Vendor Management Without A Tech Ready Building Service Provider

As tenant tech demands increase, so does the influx of cabling contractors to a CRE building’s wiring closets. The knowledge, capability and commitment to building safety and standards of these random cable installers may never be known…along with exactly what it is they did in those wiring closets.

CEO of Concert Technologies and Tech-Ready innovator Dennis Mazaris visualizes the problem with unmanaged building cabling infrastructure and the tangible benefits of having a Tech Ready Building service provider to manage all the ICT infrastructure tenants depend on. This excerpt features his daughter, Jeanna Mazaris, as the co-host of the Tech Ready Buildings presentation at the BICSI Winter Conference 2020. Spin the Spinner is an unfortunately common approach to CRE building wiring closet maintenance–or lack thereof.

The result could be catastrophic for tenant tech and Internet services. Without professional ICT Infrastructure Management, the best case is a messy, chaotic wiring closet filled to capacity. Worst is a contractor-induced outage that no one knows how to resolve quickly—or even who to call for a resolution.

Enter Tech Ready Buildings: The Next Big Step for Commercial Real Estate Tech Ready Buildings are ordinary buildings with a powerful advantage: a dedicated, professional partner to manage the building’s ICT infrastructure and the vendors installing that infrastructure–all documented and executed with greater efficiency, timeliness, cost-effectiveness and adherence to codes and standards. CRE properties become Tech Ready, simply by selecting a Tech Ready service provider.
