[Advertorial] The way we work has changed dramatically in recent years. We no longer work only in the office, but also at home, on the road or with customers. Under all circumstances, we want fast and secure access to data and applications. This presents companies with a major challenge. With Workplace as a Service (WPaaS) Proximus NXT offers organizations a solution and takes them into the workplace of the future.
Involvement
That workplace is primarily digital and provides employees with the tools to communicate with customers, collaborate, work remotely, automate repetitive tasks and protect company data. The digital workplace creates an efficient, secure and flexible environment and improves the digital experience of both customers (CX) and employees (DEX).
A modern, digital workplace ensures more productivity as well as engagement, because employees can easily connect and collaborate with colleagues via handy tools. So it doesn’t surprise Nele Verhaegen, Workplace Solution Consultant, that companies are throwing their digital workplace into the fray in the war for talent. “A smart workplace strategy today very much reflects a company’s identity.”
Smart buildings
A workplace is also more than just an office and is taking on an increasingly broader interpretation, for example through the connection with smart building applications. “Just think of an employee who can easily book a meeting room via an app,” says Stijn Bogaerts, Smart Business Generator at Proximus NXT. “Then the building management system ensures that the room in question is heated, lit and ventilated at the right time. Using only what is needed when it is needed drastically reduces the ecological footprint.”
“Creating a digital, sustainable workplace is not only good for the environment, but also for employees and business results,” adds Nele. “By investing in sustainable practices and technologies, companies can reduce their carbon footprint, increase efficiency, improve the health and well-being of their employees, and save costs at the same time. It’s a win-win-win situation that leads to a more sustainable future for everyone.”
Workplace as a Service (WPaaS).
Unfortunately, many companies do not have the capacity to set up their digital workplace themselves. “The technical aspect alone poses a challenge for many companies,” says Sander Geerkens, WPaaS Product Manager at Proximus NXT. “There is a structural shortage of IT profiles in the labor market. This makes it difficult for a company to take care of the entire IT management itself.”
With Workplace as a Service (WPaaS), Proximus NXT helps companies thoughtfully set up their digital workplace. A company thereby acquires the complete workplace – devices, apps and all associated services – in the form of a scalable service. “Companies can focus on their core tasks, while Proximus takes care of updates, security and user support,” concludes Sander.
