This prestigious recognition from a leading regional industry body affirms NTT’s role in delivering measurable, real-world impact through the practical application of AI and data integration. Developed in Hong Kong by NTT Com Asia (NTT), OCEAN Intelligence^(TM) is an open, modular platform designed to unify fragmented building data across OT, IT, and IoT systems. By converting siloed information into actionable intelligence with AI, the platform shifts facility operations from reactive management to insight-led decision-making. **Redefining Facility Management with AI at the Core** As a global technology leader, NTT brings unique value to the facility management( FM) sector by applying deep technical expertise to traditional operational challenges. OCEAN Intelligence^(TM) differentiates itself by establishing a scalable data foundation that allows AI capabilities to evolve alongside facility needs, enabling enterprises to move toward more intelligent and resilient operations. It addresses increasing system complexity by automating anomaly detection and providing predictive insights. The platform’s impact is reflected in its proven performance benchmarks: ◦ Energy Efficiency: Up to 30% reduction in energy consumption ◦ Operational Speed: 10X faster incident root cause analysis ◦ Maintenance Optimization: Up to 50% reduction in maintenance task effort and a 75% reduction in maintenance downtime ◦ Resource Efficiency: Up to 30% reduction in O&M workload associated with preventive operations "The Award of Excellence recognises submissions that demonstrate innovation and meaningful application to the facility management profession," said Don Tse, President of IFMA Hong Kong Chapter. "NTT Com Asia’s entry was noted for its strong focus on digital integration and AI-enabled possibilities in support of evolving industry needs." "We greatly appreciate the recognition from IFMA, which validates our strategic entry into the property market as a technology partner," said Daisuke Kuroda, Chief Executive Officer of NTT Com Asia. "By bringing NTT’s decades of experience in managing mission-critical facilities to this sector, OCEAN Intelligence^(TM) integrates data, operations, and AI to address the evolving needs of the AI era. We thank IFMA for this milestone award as we continue to advance smarter facility management across the region." **The Next Frontier: Agentic AI and Global Strategic Expansion** Building on its successful launch last year, OCEAN Intelligence^(TM) is entering the next phase of its evolution, progressing from predictive AI toward more autonomous, intelligence-led operations through the introduction of Agentic AI capabilities targeted for later this year. By establishing a scalable AI foundation, this milestone marks a significant leap in facility management’s digital transformation, moving beyond task-based automation to systems capable of reasoning, learning and supporting higher-value decision-making. "AI remains central to the evolution of OCEAN Intelligence^(TM) as we look ahead to the next phase of intelligent, agent‑enabled facility management," said Steven So, Chief Operating Officer of NTT Com Asia. "This milestone reflects our commitment to advancing how facilities are managed in the AI era—by building platforms that support smarter decisions, greater resilience, and long‑term operational innovation." To further drive innovation across the smart building ecosystem, NTT is expanding its regional footprint, including into key hubs such as Singapore, while deepening industry and partner collaborations to unlock new market opportunities.
