- 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.
