What Is Smart Office?
A smart office is well equipped with an ecosystem of technologies to automate processes, optimize employee experience, and improve productivity. On one hand, employees can easily find, use, and collaborate in suitable workspace. On the other hand, facility and real estate managers can leverage multiple data to assist workplace management and decision-making.
Smart Office Technologies
One of the drastic upgrades in office 2.0 come with smart technologies, which may include IoT-enabled sensors, smart meeting room & desk booking, interactive floor maps, workplace analytics, intelligent visitor management, touchless security and access control, automated climate and lighting control, and more.
90% of decision-makers saw a business reason for working in a smart office and a similar number (87%) would require smart office tech in their next relocation.
