Overview
As organizations rethink the workplace as a strategic lever, AI and intelligent automation are emerging as catalysts for change. According to IDC’s 2025 Supply Chain Survey, 89% of manufacturing, retail, life sciences, and logistics organizations have adopted or are planning to adopt predictive maintenance as the leading AI investment priority, ensuring critical facilities and infrastructure remain reliable, efficient, and cost-effective. Additionally, use cases in space utilization, connected services, energy optimization, and real-time workplace analytics are gaining traction. These applications move beyond operational efficiency to inform strategic choices, shaping the workplace as a driver of agility, innovation, and employee experience.
Join us for a discussion on aligning workplace strategies with tangible objectives, such as supporting hybrid work, ensuring compliance, and maintaining resilient facilities, so that organizations can deliver consistent value while keeping the workplace responsive to evolving business and workforce needs.
