Our Key Industry Accreditations
“The real estate industry lacks clarity around how to implement technological solutions into buildings to create smart-enabled assets. Too often, smart technology providers are required to educate landlords around their purpose in a building. In response to this, WiredScore launched its Accredited Solutions accreditation to help providers demonstrate value to landlords and developers and also to help clients to choose the right solutions for their assets.”
WiredScore Accredited Solution Provider
WiredScore assesses, certifies and improves digital connectivity and smart technology in homes and offices on a global scale. Ideal was part of the launch cohort of WiredScore Accredited Solution providers in November 2022. Accredited Solutions are technology providers whose systems and solutions have been benchmarked against WiredScore’s certification standards, empowering them to work with landlords globally.
The accreditation is designed for businesses wanting to align their technology solution with SmartScore certification standards. By choosing a WiredScore Accredited Partner such as Ideal, landlords and developers can achieve SmartScore targets easily and save time, money and resources on their smart building journey
As one of the first partners to join WiredScore’s roster of leading tech solutions in smart buildings, we can help you understand, improve, benchmark and promote smart technology in your buildings and developments, including how to get SmartScore certified.
Cisco Partner
Environmental Sustainability Specialized
Ideal have a long standing relationship with Cisco, and have deployed Cisco’s best in class technology on the majority of our Smart Building projects. Ideal is also Environmental Sustainability Specialised, which both aligns with Ideal’s own sustainability policies and leverages Circular Economy principles to reduce the environmental impact of the network build.
The Environmental Sustainability Specialisation allows us to commit to the idea of the circular economy and product takeback. Helping customers update their older technologies and migrate to cloud-based solutions, the specialisation supports us to help customers responsibly repurpose or recycle end-of-use products, as well as use of refurbished products instead of new, all of which help reduce supply chain carbon footprint.
