SINGAPORE - Companies that manage estates and facilities can consult a new guide to see what technologies are available for them to raise their productivity.
The announcement was made on Tuesday by Minister of State for National Development Zaqy Mohamad, who said the guide was especially important, given that more than half the buildings in Singapore will be 30 years or older by 2025. They would need more maintenance. Elaborating, Mr Tony Khoo said there are three stages to getting companies to embrace technology over the next 10 to 12 years.Mr Khoo is the president of SIFMA, and chief executive of facilities management firm EM Services. Many small and medium-sized enterprises are still in the"going digital" phase, he added.
