Integrated Systems Contracting – Growing Market Share Through Diversification  

This session will feature a panel of NECA contractors. The panelists will discuss how diversifying your service offerings is a great way to grow market share, and how Integrated Systems work represents a lucrative opportunity for diversification.  If you follow the news relating to the Internet of Things and Smart Cities, you will undoubtedly encounter some mind-boggling statistics.  For instance, according to IHS Mark Forecasts, “the global installed base of IoT devices will rise from 27 billion in 2017 to 73 billion in 2025…;” according to BSA | The Software Alliance, “IoT ‘smart city’ initiatives will have an economic impact of up to $1.6 trillion per year by 2025;” and according to Gartner, “by 2020, Gartner estimates internet-connected things will outnumber humans 4-to-1, creating new dynamics for marketing, sales and customer service.”

Come and learn from your peers about what your company can do to launch or grow its limited energy/low voltage service offerings, and what NECA, IBEW, and the ALLIANCE can do to help grow market share.
