2014 Will Be Characterised By The ‘Smarter Workplace’

“Matrix42 will also be concentrating on the subject of workplace management in 2014. The office of the future will not be tied to just one place. We are no longer talking about a workstation, but a working environment – not a workplace, but a workspace. Matrix42 is being strategically developed into a workplace aggregator that allows IT departments and other users to easily manage a wide variety of workplace components and diverse array of devices, apps, data, and digital identities,” explains Jaser.

“This means that Matrix42 will be able to align its strategy with current market developments. The role of the IT department is changing from the ‘Build and Operate’ to ‘Aggregate and Orchestrate’ model, whereby it purchases all of the necessary workplace components and ensures that costs are allocated and optimised accurately. Matrix42 supports its customers by providing the right service at the right time, in the right location, and at the right price,” he adds.
