It was brilliant to see our teams getting involved, sharing plenty of cake, conversation and good company while supporting Macmillan Cancer Support and the vital work they do. A huge thank you to everyone who baked, donated and came together to support a great cause. #MacmillanCoffeeMorning #MacmillanCancerSupport

How well do universities really understand how their buildings are being used - and what happens when energy and maintenance continue to run around the clock, even when spaces are empty? In our on-demand webinar, Using Occupancy Intelligence to Cut Costs, Carbon and Complexity, university estate leaders explore how real-time occupancy data from SmartViz can reveal underused spaces, uncover energy waste and help institutions make smarter decisions about how their estates operate.

Temperature, humidity and water-related risks can affect critical communications infrastructure, damage building fabric and impact living standards across complex defence estates.    Our latest Smarter Bases IoT use case explores how secure environmental monitoring provides early visibility of emerging risks, helping organisations move from reactive maintenance towards continuous, auditable oversight.    With expertise in delivering connected solutions in some of the UK's most security-sensitive environments, North helps defence organisations protect critical infrastructure, maximise operational uptime and build safer, more resilient estates.   Read the insight to discover how secure, base-wide environmental monitoring can support operational resilience: https://lnkd.in/e9UQCeNX

The 12th of September was National Data Centre Day 2026. This year’s theme was #BackToSchool.   The day also marked the anniversary of Data Centres being recognised by the UK Government as Critical National Infrastructure (CNI), highlighting their vital role in keeping the country connected and operational.   To celebrate the day and this year's Back to School theme, we created some informative tools and a fun quiz for colleagues and their families to take part in. It was great to see our colleagues and families test their knowledge – it is never too early or too late to learn!
