Let’s be honest, nobody loves sifting through complicated, intricate, convoluted ‘big data’. So how does one improve their workspace without doing so?  Well, I am here to tell you that Steelcase has the answer. Introducing Steelcase Workplace Advisor.

Steelcase Workplace Advisor collects and analyzes precise data from the workplace–whether in one or several meeting rooms, in open plan spaces or across multiple campuses–to illuminate real-time and historical utilization trends. This data is communicated through easy-to-understand charts, tables, and timelines presented right on the customer’s dashboard. Let’s brake it down together…

• Offers Leading-edge stability and protection of customer and data on the cloud platform with security via Microsoft Azure.
