NEW YORK, April 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ABM (NYSE: ABM), a leading provider of facility, engineering, and infrastructure solutions, today announced it has been recognized with an Edison Award in the Commercial Technology category for its innovative ABM Connect data intelligence platform.
ABM Connect was recognized for its ability to transform traditional facility operations into intelligent, data-driven ecosystems, unifying data from people, systems, and sensors to deliver real-time visibility, predictive insights, and measurable operational improvements.
“Recognition from the Edison Awards further validates the measurable impact that ABM Connect is having on our clients,” said Scott Salmirs, President and Chief Executive Officer of ABM. “In an industry that has historically lacked unified, real-time data, ABM Connect brings together operational, financial, and performance insights into a single platform so our clients can unlock greater value from their facilities.”
Winning an Edison Award is a mark of distinction, honoring those who push the boundaries of innovation to solve global challenges and improve lives. Named after Thomas Edison, one of history’s greatest inventors, the awards celebrate forward-thinking solutions and bold ideas that shape the future.
The recognition follows ABM’s recent inclusion on Fast Company’s 2026 World’s Most Innovative Companies list, which also highlighted the impact of ABM Connect in elevating facilities into intelligent, data-driven environments.
Transforming Facilities Through Data, Intelligence, and Workforce Enablement
ABM Connect integrates AI, IoT sensors, robotics, and operational data into a centralized platform, creating a single source of truth for facility performance.
