Transform the
workplace through
technology
W

e have all seen the seismic
shift in how mobile
tech has impacted the
workplace the past few years. From
fixed wired desktops to flexible,
collaborative digital environments,
all industries have felt the impact of
mobile technology - be it in office
buildings, on the manufacturing floor
or in industrial settings. But now it’s
moving to the next level, businesses
are starting to see and feel the
benefits IoT can bring including cost
savings, efficiencies and enhanced
customer experiences.
So, why is this shift significant?
Take the smart conference room
management app, ‘Robin’,
streamlining admin processes
by booking your meeting room
complete with necessary amenities,
in a few smartphone swipes
employees can find, book and locate
a free meeting room and when they
arrive for their meeting automatically
initiate a Microsoft ‘Skype for
Business’ session, saving significant
time. It is these small efficiencies
that as a collective can help with the
overall productivity and satisfaction
within the working environment.
Similar technologies are enabling
employers like the Swiss bank UBS
to abandon rigid cubicle farms in
favour of hot-desking, where workers
have no fixed work area, work
station or phone. This maximizes
their facilities while simultaneously
providing the types of collaborative
environments that ultimately result
in the innovations necessary for
competitive success.
