Overstappen op Google Apps

Google heeft een plugin om Office documenten op te slaan in Google Docs. Daarnaast wil Google bedrijven met ouder Windows applicaties laten overstappen op Google Apps.


Op Googles Enterprise Blog kun je meer lezen over deze stap, inclusief hun grotere plan om bedrijven met jaren ’90 technologie (lees: alles pre-Office 2003) over te laten stappen op Google. Dit doen ze via de 90 Day Appsperience. Als er lezers zijn die hier aan mee gaan doen, laat het ons weten! We zijn erg benieuwd naar de ervaringen!

Onderhoud van gebouwen

De meeste gebouwbeheerders hebben een beheervisie opgesteld voor hun gebouwbeheer. Het gebouw wordt getoetst aan deze beheervisie. Aan de hand van deze toetsing, de inventarisatie en de eventuele conditiemeting wordt een meerjarenonderhoudsplanning opgesteld. Vaak worden er nog aanpassingen in het meerjarenonderhoudsplan aangebracht zoals het verschuiven of het samenvoegen van onderhoud. Dit veelal vanwege kostenaspecten. In de planning kunnen ook inspecties worden opgenomen maar dit is niet altijd het geval.

Elk jaar wordt er bekeken wat voor onderhoud er aan gaat komen en welke bouwdelen die voor onderhoud in aanmerking komen ge•nspecteerd moeten worden. Deze bouwdelen worden vervolgens ge•nspecteerd en er wordt bekeken of het geplande onderhoud uitgevoerd moet worden of niet. De inspectiegegevens worden verwerkt in de meerjarenonderhoudsplanning en eventueel in een jaarplanning. Bekeken wordt of het budget voor de jaarplanning toereikend is en vervolgens wordt het definitieve onderhoudsplan voor het betreffende jaar vastgesteld.

Gebouwbeheer Het onderhoud van de jaarplanning wordt voorbereid en uitgevoerd. Deze wordt gecontroleerd en de gegevens kunnen vervolgens bijgewerkt worden in een meerjarenonderhoudsplanning. Het bijwerken wordt niet altijd gedaan, maar er is steeds vaker behoefte om na te kunnen gaan wat de onderhoudsgeschiedenis is van het gebouw.

Klachtenonderhoud is een apart onderdeel bij gebouwbeheer. Klachtenonderhoud is immers niet planmatig en grijpt daarom direct in het voorbereidings- en uivoerings-proces. Klachtenonderhoud is ad-hoc en daarom meestal duurder dan planmatig onderhoud. Het is dus zaak om klachtenonderhoud zoveel mogelijk voor te zijn.

Als er grote kostenposten aan komen in een meerjarenonderhoudsplanning dan worden deze vaak eerder uitgewerkt. Dit komt omdat hier veel geld voor vrijgemaakt moet worden en omdat de voorbereiding en uitvoering veel tijd in beslag kunnen nemen. Een voorbeeld van een grote kostenpost is het vervangen van de totale dakbedekking. 
Met O-Prognose kunnen we al deze onderdelen duidelijk in kaart brengen. Diverse rapporten - gedetailleerd tot managementoverzichten - zijn binnen de software eenvoudig en snel aan te maken en te printen.

Serious Energy

SeriousEnergy Manager With Cisco Network Building Mediator

The Challenge

Facilities and energy managers are faced with unprecedented challenges to contain energy costs. Volatile energy prices and tariff schedules, coupled with only coarse visibility into consumption patterns limit the identification of efficiency opportunities and management of the energy budget. Furthermore, managers struggle to report on and forecast usage to internal departments, impacting financial reporting and blocking progress on sustainability goals.
Traditional building automation systems themselves do not solve the issue. There is little to no interoperability of these systems or use of true open standards to allow for easier aggregation of the data. Collection and analysis are costly, time consuming, and often inadequate in detail.

The Solution

The SeriousEnergy Manager and Cisco Mediator combined, has the ability to monitor, analyze, control and optimize (MonACO) energy demand across systems that previously had different management interfaces and no mechanism to share data.
The Mediator collects data from building controls systems and energy demand systems in real time. It then normalizes the data into a common data XML interface. This enables the Mediator to perform protocol translation and communicate the device information over the Internet using TCP/IP. With this network-­based platform the SeriousEnergy Manager can communicate to different devices, including thermostats, HVAC units, lighting and IT equipment. A web-services API provides remote access for smart phone applications.

SeriousEnergy Manager software is the web-based application interface to the Mediator that provides the intelligence and tools for:

Monitoring

Unified dashboard to track energy use, generation and costs in real-­time at the device level; present data to key stakeholders through customizable reports

Analytics

Confirm proper functioning of building systems through automated anomaly detection. Optimize energy use and generation: built-­in analytics for energy flows, weather and pricing identify opportunities to optimize energy use based on factors such as price, comfort and carbon emissions

Controls

Reduce management by automatically adjusting devices based on defined objectives through single interface

Optimization

Peak demand management to reduce energy costs by optimizing your energy demand based on your specific time-­of-use pricing schedules

Accounting and Billing

Support billing to retail energy customers and internal chargeback to departments

SeriousEnergy Management Solution

SeriousEnergy offers audit and design services for deployment of smart meters and Mediators to enable the solution.

Partnership for Sustainability and Success

Cisco and SeriousEnergy work together with our customers to build energy management solutions of the future. Our goal is to simplify your management tasks and gain control of your energy.

Cisco Network Building Mediator

Product Overview

The Cisco® Network Building Mediator ("Mediator") is the industry's first solution that extends the network as a platform to transform the way buildings are built, operated, and experienced. The Mediator:

• Helps reduce energy usage across global operations

• Leverages Cisco's expertise in collaboration, convergence, and security to foster sustainable energy use

• Provides flexible integration of new technologies that deliver energy efficiency, clean energy, and environmental stewardship

The Mediator powers an energy-efficient intranet by enabling, converging, and balancing four key elements: building systems, IT, energy supply, and energy demand. The integration of these disparate systems onto an IP network leads to a truly converged, energy-efficient building.

The Mediator's strategy is built on:

• Any-to-any connectivity: Building, IT, and "green" technologies

• End-to-end management: Efficiency, conservation, and de-carbonization

• Extensible platform: Third-party applications and cloud services

The Mediator collects data from the building, IT, energy supply, and energy demand systems, which use different protocols and are otherwise unable to communicate. It then normalizes the data into a common data representation. This enables the Mediator to perform any-to-any protocol translation and to provide information to the end user in a uniform presentation.

This network-based framework creates a common, standards-based, open platform that then allows enterprise applications, cloud services, and building/IT systems to communicate. The Mediator is protocol-agnostic and extends the network to serve as an effective foundation for sustainability management.

Benefits of the Cisco Network Building Mediator

The Mediator provides the following customer benefits:

• Reduced total cost of ownership (TCO)

• Simplified management of energy and facilities

• Flexible integration of building, IT, and clean technology systems

• Enhanced uptime and resiliency with networking technology

• Secure, high-quality delivery of concurrent building and IT services

• A future-proofed investment with third-party applications and cloud services
