Workplace of the Future.
What does the workplace of the future look like? When you think of the workplace of the future, you might think of the open plan offices of tech start-ups. There’s standing desks, bean bags, and pool tables. Or does the makeshift office set up in your spare room come to mind?
848 believes the workplace of the future is not a physical place at all – it’s an ability. The ability to work securely from anywhere, anytime, on any device. The ability to have access to everything you need without disruption. The workplace of the future should leverage friction-less security, automation, artificial intelligence (AI) and digital tools to enable employees to do their best work no matter their location.
We help you achieve your own workplace of the future today. We have a specialist modern workplace practice to equip your people with the technology that keeps them secure, connected and truly productive from any location. Our team of experts can design automated processes and implement seamless controls that enhance efficiency in your workplace of the future.
The Workplace of the Future is Defined by Freedom, not Location.
Work is not somewhere you go, it’s something you do. The modern workforce is diverse and so employees need the support, skills and digital tools to help them be their most productive. The workplace of the future provides greater choice and freedom to people so they can find where and how they do their best work – instead of tying them down to a singular location.
So what is the workplace of the future? It’s built in the cloud and it’s inherently secure. It uses modern approaches, AI and automation tools to minimise manual tasks and streamline processes. The workplace of the future brings together leading technology with best-in-class support services to enable anytime, anyplace working.
