Who owns the cloud data - not who you think

Some technology companies will market their product as opening up the lock-in from the BMS and the BMS contractor. I am not sure that is quite right. I just want to reinforce this so there is no misunderstanding. This potential lock-in was unintentional. It happened by accident.

This video sat unlisted on my YouTube channel for over a week. I was worried about publishing it as it could cause quite a bit of trouble. This is genuinely not my intention. But there is a risk here for building owners, and it doesn’t feel right to be silent about it.

Please ignore the shit Microsoft Team recording quality. I didn’t plan to record the video like this. I changed my normal plan 1 minute before starting. Consider turning on subtitles if that helps.

I am an independent Building Management System consultant based in Australia. I started in the BMS industry in 1998 and initially worked for BMS companies for the first 15 years of my career (2 years in South Africa, 9 years in London, and 4 years in Melbourne). In 2014 I transitioned into BMS consulting, saw a massive gap in the lack of specialist BMS consulting, and started Lifecycle Controls in 2017.

My focus is currently on BMS technical training, coaching, and B2B consulting for BMS companies and mechanical consultancies. Because, fixing one project at a time was making no difference. Training thousands of engineers will :-)
