The alliance combines SC\u2019s business-development network with TWG\u2019s interoperability expertise to create a scalable framework through which imaging equipment, robotics, sensors, facility technologies, and other connected devices can exchange operational data and support coordinated service workflows. The strategic alliance will focus on five primary areas: Leading the development and industry adoption of the WALM platform. Leveraging The Consortium and the Executive Connection Summit (ECS) to build the WALM business ecosystem and recruit technology, service, financing, and channel partners. Applying TWG\u2019s technical expertise to establish interoperability between WALM and workplace assets. Demonstrating an interoperability-focused WALM proof of concept at TWG\u2019s Converge event in November 2026. Showcasing the WALM platform and its collaboration partners at ECS 2027 in March 2027.
