The concept of introducing digital workplaces as a way of enhancing business productivity and agility is no stranger to many organisations around the world. But as Andrew Green, CEO, ANZPAC region for Vega Global points out, it took the COVID-19 pandemic to transform digital workplaces from a “nice to have” to a top business priority.
“We’ve seen a significant demand among businesses wanting to build a robust digital workplace that can set the foundation for a crisis-resilient and agile enterprise ecosystem,” he says. “It’s all about enhancing productivity and minimising disruption.”
He says too that the sudden shift in work culture necessitated by the pandemic also highlights the changing need and expectations of the younger up-and-coming workforce.
“Baby boomers tend to compartmentalise their work and home life,” Green says. “Later generations want more flexibility in their work preferences. They want to be able to work from their homes or other off-site locations, and still be able to access whatever they need from a cloud-based server or application and stay in touch with team-mates.”
Centralised management is the core of any digital workplace model.
Vega Global, a leading provider of customised AV and IT solutions, has created a unified experience where human and technology interfaces connect within the corporate environment.
“Every workplace is different, so a one-size-fits all digital workplace strategy simply isn’t going to work,” Green says. “We sit down with our clients, clearly identify their needs and objectives, and repurpose and retool their office using smart technology to become the virtual, multifunctional collaborative space that’s right for them.”
Vega integrates leading applications to connect an organisation’s team, whether they’re on-site or working remotely, for effective, efficient and safe collaboration.
Vega’s suite of digital workplace technology and advisory solutions include Smart Workplace Management, employee engagement technology, workplace sensor technology that provides real-time data and insights, room booking and interactive digital signage.
“Modern AV systems are revolutionising the way business communication takes place,” Green says. “Our bespoke digital workplace management solutions help organisations stay at the leading edge in a post-Covid world with hassle-free communication and collaboration.”
