• Reduce building estate (realise revenue from building sales)
  • Improve the use of available building space
  • Enable home-working
  • Increase building environmental efficiency

Councils across the UK are already selling off real estate to raise revenues. Reducing the number of buildings, improving the utilisation of existing facilities, or changing the location public sector employees work from will, altogether, deliver savings in the millions of pounds. Sharing buildings between services, reducing the number of physical desk spaces, or developing extensive secure home-working programmes is about creating a Smarter Workspace.

Creating intelligent connected buildings, where the workspace will reconfigure itself for the particular needs of the individual, facilitating sharing of physical space by different sectors, directly enables building consolidation programmes. Smarter Workspace is also greener and more sustainable, with active energy management of technology and potentially all building control systems.

Remote working solutions are more advanced than ever, and IP communications and security technologies mean the office desk experience can be securely delivered anywhere, and can even include advanced services such as video and collaboration.

Remote working has failed to capture the imagination of many public sector organisations because, to really provide pay-back, physical building space needs to be reduced to demonstrate significant ROI.

Logicalis’ Smarter Workspace Architecture enables the public sector to choose the size and scale of its building estate while still providing the highest quality business services.
