SINGAPORE, Oct. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Siemens has bagged the 2016 Asia-Pacific Building Technologies Company of the Year award from Frost & Sullivan.
The award was presented to Siemens at the annual Frost & Sullivan Asia-Pacific Best Practices Awards banquet held at the Conrad Centennial Singapore on Oct 13.
Mr. Viswesh Vancheeshwar, Research Analyst, Energy & Environment Practice, Asia-Pacific at Frost & Sullivan said that Siemens has successfully created affordable and easy-to-use state-of-the-art solutions.
"By consistently producing and providing new technologies which push the boundaries of both operational and energy efficiency, Siemens has consolidated its position as a leader in the building technologies market," he added.
Mr. Vancheeshwar said that building technologies is a fast industry with numerous exciting and evolving opportunities and is currently experiencing a technological convergence with the emergence of next generation of ICT solutions such as Big Data, cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT), and data analytics.

Mr. Vancheeshwar also said that as a pioneer in the building technologies sector, Siemens brings innovative solutions and years of global expertise to its customers. The company's solutions and services ensure that buildings are future-ready, which essentially translates into higher ROIs for customers, he added.
