FMJ Facilities Management magazine providing industry-specific intelligence to FM and property professionals
MRI Software has announced a strategic partnership with EDW Technology’s TEAM Energy, a leading multidisciplinary energy and sustainability consultancy, which will offer end-to-end energy management for UK businesses, institutions and government organisations to boost savings and support zero carbon initiatives.
The agreement sees TEAM Energy replacing its existing solution with MRI Energy invoice validation. The offering, which ensures accurate and error-free billing and advanced web-enabled energy monitoring and targeting, will be available from TEAM Energy as Sigma 24.
Graham Paul, Service Delivery Director at TEAM Energy, said: “As a pioneer in its field with a comprehensive partnership programme, MRI Software was a natural option for TEAM to work with. This collaboration enables us to enhance the range of products and services we provide, helping our customers lower their carbon emissions, reduce energy consumption, and save money.”
James Massey, Managing Director of Facilities Management, Energy, and Retail Intelligence at MRI Software commented: “This strategic partnership brings together two industry experts to deliver a solution that will streamline efforts to improve energy efficiency and boost green initiatives across the UK commercial sector. These paired and integrated solutions will ensure clients’ energy management processes are precise and reliable, while giving them the information they need to make better business decisions.”
The new collaboration will also leverage MRI Forms Intelligence, the AI-aided data extraction tool that will enable commercial users to quickly and accurately pull information from the roughly 25 per cent of invoices that are not electronic – eliminating time and error-prone manual processes required by many organisations to capture data from invoices that are in PDF form or even on paper.
As environmental protection demands unified action, transparency, and heightened awareness, Biological Preparations has launched an initiative to catalyse sustainability efforts within the FM sector.
FM businesses face unique challenges and heightened expectations of eco-initiatives from their clients. Yet, behind the scenes in FM businesses, many environmental initiatives, rollouts and even planning, are not broadcasted and transparent.

The UK biotech company’s five-minute, anonymous FM-focused survey, offers FM professionals of all hierarchies with a platform to voice their perspectives and share their experiences. The results from this survey will then be analysed and presented as an industry-specific report, which aims to guide FM businesses helping them benchmark trends, gain clarity on industry challenges, and map out goals and metrics towards sustainability.
