CHALLENGE

The operating problem

Altus was appointed to design and deliver an integrated workplace technology environment combining collaboration systems, digital signage, access control, occupancy visibility, room booking and workplace connectivity into a unified operational platform. The client required a modern workplace infrastructure capable of improving user experience, increasing operational visibility, simplifying management and supporting hybrid working across multiple commercial environments.

The workplace environment relied on disconnected technology platforms operating independently across meeting spaces, collaboration areas, visitor management and workplace infrastructure. This created operational inefficiencies, inconsistent user experiences, fragmented reporting and increased management complexity across the estate.

Workplace experience

  • Inconsistent user experience across collaboration spaces
  • Limited visibility of room and workspace utilisation
  • Complex meeting room and visitor workflows

Technology fragmentation

  • Separate platforms for AV, signage, access and booking systems
  • Limited interoperability between workplace technologies
  • Increased support overhead and operational complexity

Operational visibility

  • Lack of centralised workplace data and management
  • Limited occupancy and utilisation insight
  • Requirement for scalable workplace infrastructure
