Office Technology is an Investment Worth Getting Right

To compete in today’s business environment it is essential to incorporate office technologies that increase efficiency and collaboration. Increase efficiency by streamlining room scheduling, simplifying the operation of presentation equipment and providing interactive communications across town, or across the world. Increase team collaboration by supplying impromptu meeting areas, connecting whiteboards to interactive components, and decreasing disruptive noise to other employees.

Here are some of the office technology tools that make this possible:

Audio/Visual Equipment
Video Conferencing Solutions
Sound Masking Systems
Room Scheduling Systems
Smartboards

These elements must be properly planned into your workplace design. They all require integration with your architecture as well as your furniture systems. To be certain they are being properly integrated and the associated costs are kept to a minimum, planning and design must be done early in an office relocation or renovation plan.

Electrical and data cabling must be managed and integrated into the furniture plan; therefore, the selection and specification of these technology products and the type and design layout of the furnishings need to occur before leases are signed, build-out allowances set and general contractor's bids solicited.

If not done early on in the process, the company can miss opportunities to receive related landlord allowances; they will pay substantial change orders to the contractor to add or change architectural elements and possibly reduce their ability to fully benefit from the technology because of facility and/or furniture deficiencies.

All of these tools are designed to make your team more productive. This greater efficiency means your company is more competitive in the marketplace. Schedule a showroom tour and allow our experts to demonstrate these technologies.
