We have our own software platform that can store all that data in a SQL database and I guess traditionally every building automation company has siloed their information as much as they can for various reasons that everybody always has. The IOT play is to get all that data into a common structure that everybody can begin to use, and we're basically creating an ecosystem.

Really we're the first company to embrace it. Well call it IoT as an open platform, but what we're really enabling the new companies to do is put a platform in that's expandable or upgradable in the future, more so than in the past. An open platform that more people can develop on, create more tools to use, by being open. Also by utilizing our cloud service, which hasn't been well embraced by the building automation space in the past.
