“Google operates at such a scale that we're often the largest customer of any given system in any domain, whether it's a physical security system or an HVAC head-end, you know, et cetera, et cetera, … to the point where we start breaking these things. Scale really is, with traditional approaches, oftentimes a barrier. 

And the whole goal of what we’re trying to do in the smart buildings world is turn that on its head, and use the scale to our advantage rather than have it hold us back. ”

“The context is the critical piece. When companies are trying to understand, why do I need a digital twin? What’s the value? It’s about context; and it’s about reasoning, which allows you to make better decisions, more timely, and that’s going to improve experiences for everybody - operations as well as the employees or the tenants that are in your buildings.”
