Discover the 5 pillars to achieving the best workspaces and collaboration experiences
Hybrid Working Experience
Wherever you work, workspaces must support varied needs. Offices need to be optimised for utilisation. We enhance office environments with intelligence, using sensors for real-time occupancy data. This enables effective planning, collaboration, and access to suitable workspaces. Insights on air quality and temperature also boost productivity and reduce costs. Now that is smart.
Collaborative Spaces
Video-enabled meetings are now standard. We enhance shared spaces for effective collaboration, offering solutions from simple BYOD video bars in huddle rooms to large boardroom setups. Collaboration spaces are more than just meeting rooms. Our flexible spaces can adapt for various events and support collaboration from any location.
Collaborative Experiences
Cloud productivity suites like Microsoft 365 enable creation, co-authoring, and sharing of documents, enhancing customer experiences. These tools keep us connected and act as assistants by summarizing meetings and capturing notes. Additionally, intelligence from sensors, cameras, and network data informs how shared spaces are utilized.
Delivering New Work Experiences
The market is flooded with diverse, innovative collaboration solutions from both established and new vendors. Navigating this complexity to create a Smart Office can be challenging. As a vendor-agnostic advisor, we provide pragmatic, tailored guidance to help you make the best technology choices for your needs.
Innovation in Workspaces
Workspaces are blending physical and virtual realms, merging VR and AR with existing collaboration platforms. Leaders like Meta and Microsoft pave the way, attracting new vendors.

To make your workspaces work for you, Workspace Optimisation involves the use of edge technology to deliver insight and intelligence around how buildings are performing. Monitoring factors such as occupancy, temperature and air quality to generate insights which can then be used to inform decisions that enable better use of spaces and utilities.
To attract, retain and engage employees it is imperative that their experience of the workplace surpasses expectations, ensuing that their place of work acts as a magnet that draws them to it as a place they want to be that provides them with experiences they cannot replicate elsewhere and where they can do their best work.
A Smart Office will incorporate a multitude of technologies including sensors, cloud services, Audio-Visual and Digital Signage which when combined enables the workplace to perform better on several levels not only in delivering quality employee experiences and productivity but from a space optimisation and environmental sustainability perspective too.
Increasingly hybrid workforces are resulting in more fluid use of spaces, with fewer allocated desks, and potentially a reduction in office footprint. The ability for employees to book resources they need in advance becomes crucial – so systems need to be in place to enable advance booking and dynamic reallocation of not only of meeting rooms but of desks, lockers and parking spaces.
Effective use of Digital Signage enables organisation to deliver data directly into their workplaces, providing communication to their employees. This can be a visualisation of meaningful data about the space such as noise levels or temperature, which they can use to make an informed choice about where to spend their working time.
To deliver the same level of experience to visitors as to employees, organisations need to explore how to enable Visitor Management not only in the reception area but throughout the building. A high quality visitor experience is essential for many businesses that offer client facing services.
