Technology in the Workplace

In today’s fast-paced world, more offices are becoming dependent on reliable technologies to communicate and collaborate with their clients and colleagues. They are also using technology to display solutions that separate their business from their competition. Embracing technology in the workplace can assist with efficiency, productivity, comfort, and can improve the quality of the space for anyone who visits. 

Audio and video solutions in conference and meeting rooms simplify collaboration amongst office staff while allowing management to display presentations and content wirelessly to a large display or projector. With the touch of a button on a remote or a touchscreen, the user can drop a large screen from the ceiling, control the lights and shades, and be ready to present in seconds. Adding video conferencing solutions can add the ability to present to clients or coworkers that are working remotely,or those not available to come into the office. 

Using technologies to display promotions or vital information to your visitors can allow your clientele to engage in everything your organization has to offer. Digital signage solutions can display hours of operation, promotions, and special events. Incorporating digital signage solutions for menu items can engage customers by adding animation and special offerings. Making changes to a digital signage display is very easy and can be done in advance and automatically with the use of a preset schedule. 

Today, more than ever, businesses are focusing on the safety of their workforce and visitors. One convenient way to incorporate a level of security is to add an intercom system that allows you to talk to your visitors before granting them entry access. As intercom solutions have improved, visual and audible verification are even capable from a mobile device when you are away from the office. Adding a smarter intercom solution can trigger alerts to a display on your wall or mobile device and even allow you to communicate with the visitor from wherever you are.  

Incorporating lighting and shade control can provide a “WOW” factor for your staff and visitors. In addition, these technologies, when combined with thermostat control can help with energy savings.  They also add an elegance and refinement to your workspace. Using a smart app to schedule events based on occupancy can make sure lights are off when the facility is not being used. Controlled shades also provide a level of security knowing that unwanted visitors are not peeking in after business hours.  

Technologies are becoming more imperative in the way we do business with each other. Incorporating audio and video solutions in meeting spaces or focusing on an extra layer of security for your office space can ultimately save business owners time and money and enhance the lifestyle of the work environment.
