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.”

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.
