To gain insights into the current state of smart buildings, Johnson Controls collaborated with Forrester Consultingon a surveyof more than 3,000 building leaders. The survey showed that few organizations are operating smart buildings, as their systems and data are not fully integrated and they lack the expertise to leverage building systems insights. In FY24, Johnson Controls expanded its security solution portfolio to address common goals shared by security professionals, including investing in technologies with AI capabilities and adopting service models to address staffing shortages.

In addition to the SOC, Johnson Controls launched itsSecurity Lifecycle Managementwith OpenBlue Services in 2024 which combines Johnson Controls OpenBlue suite of connected solutions, and the ability to monitor and manage security devices across vendors, with remote support services and meaningful insights from skilled engineers.
