Digitization: a key element in the office of the future

The rise of technology has led to the emergence of so-called 'smart spaces'. In these environments, tools such as Sony Teos Manage are required., which allows all IP devices, projectors and screens can be controlled and monitored centrally.

It is not surprising to say that technology plays a fundamental role in our daily lives.. And especially during the last decade, The consumer sector has been adopting all kinds of devices and technological advances with the aim of facilitating various processes., from voice assistants to smart speakers.

This way, It is logical to think that more and more people want to have these facilities in their work environment., where they spend approximately a third of their day. According to a recent study carried out by Aruba Networks, services and benefits such as the Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence (AI) or the cloud should be part of all types of professional environments in the practically immediate future.

So much so that the business idea has been diversifying in recent years due to the presence of companies in digital channels and platforms., y, for it, Features like WiFi or smartphones are no longer innovations, but mere services taken for granted and available to anyone.

This situation of change takes on special relevance if, besides, It is taken into account that in less than two years the Millennial generation, formed by those known as 'digital natives' will constitute more than 50% of the global workforce, according to an audit investigation PwC. They will expect to have access to the newest technologies, and they will not conceive a different scenario.

For all this, Companies are adopting various strategies to ensure that workplaces are designed around and optimized by digital tools.

The importance of data

Following this idea, Organizations are investing significantly in Big Data, in reference to massive data analysis within the work environment itself, aimed at discovering market trends, upward or downward patterns of behavior or any type of information that may be relevant to the company.

At the moment, Large corporations are already aware of the impact that Big Data can have on their future., while SMEs are still figuring out how to make efficient and economical use of it. In the end, as indicated on the portal PowerData, These data provide answers to questions that were not even known, allowing in turn to reduce costs, make decisions based on objective realities and provide a more precise response to the needs of workers and clients.

Smart spaces

The rise of technology has led to the emergence of so-called 'smart spaces', created by corporations to transform workplaces through various digital tools.

For this reason, device management solutions like TEOS Manage from Sony are necessary, which allows all IP devices, projectors and screens can be controlled and monitored centrally, as well as integrate it with various software. This allows information to be collected on how the workforce currently works., with the aim of following a process of continuous improvement in their work habits.

The inclusion of innovative solutions such as those mentioned means that employee satisfaction levels are considerably higher., both on a personal and professional level, since more than two thirds consider that their strategic role is carried out more efficiently, according to Aruba.

But beyond having digital tools, It is essential to promote a work environment where fluid communication reigns to allow team productivity. Assign strategic seating based on each team's occupations to create spontaneous opportunities for interaction, Promoting balance between your personal and professional life and having spaces to disconnect are some of the most recommended measures to complement the transformation of the work space..

The future of offices

Although it cannot be determined at what speed businesses will adapt to these new needs of the labor market., It is undeniable that technology has become a primary catalyst in achieving its objectives.. Organizations that fail to reinvent themselves and adopt digital data control tools or other devices will see their competitive advantage jeopardized..

For this reason, Sony Professional adapts to the sector and works on the development of a professional experience created based on the digital environment to simplify your work, optimize space management and improve collaboration of all teams.
