“With the return to work following the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions, occupancy patterns within offices have changed, creating different needs within enterprises.”
And that’s where the concept of smart spaces comes into play. But while most resources discussing the benefits of smart spaces focus on the enhanced experience provided by those spaces there are plenty of benefits to be reaped from this concept.
This Gartner® report found that:
- Resource management has emerged as the smart space use case that is most impactful in unlocking greater operational efficiency.
- Smart space providers are struggling to differentiate products designed for process analysis and optimization, preventing scalability of their services.
- Energy management is the fastest-growing use case for addressing compliance with enterprises’ sustainability/environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals.
“Smart spaces represent a new approach in terms of design and integration patterns and architectures to create new outcomes from a catalog of legacy, new and emerging technologies and services."
