Aruba’s smart digital workplace direction.
This is an area where our teams have
collaborated and expect to realise greater
synergies in the future.”
Francisco J Acoba, Managing Director
and US Lead – Global Real Estate
Transformation, Deloitte Consulting LLP,
added: “Companies are re-evaluating
their real estate strategies to better align
with and enable the future of work. The
smart digital workplace is now a major
point of differentiation for organisations as
employers look to attract, retain and grow
today’s talent. The future of work will be
defined by smart workplace experiences
and corporate real esta te leaders along
with their IT counterparts should consider
embracing how mobility and enterprise IoT
will transform the physical office.”
Meanwhile, Jeff Gibson, Director of
Advanced Business Development at Herman
Miller, “What constitutes a great workplace
experience is rapidly evolving with the
addition of digital and data layers.
“People need a variety of settings to
perform their work activities and the digital
layers that we are delivering are helping to
maximise the experience. We are working
with Aruba to create this vision where
cloud connected furniture and devices

for organisations as well as maximises the
performance potential.”
Enhanced collaboration and
seamless workplace productivity
In many digital enterprises, two or more
collaboration applications are used
simultaneously, such as Skype for Business
for voice calling and desktop sharing and
Zoom for video meetings and bringing
in mobile and conference room devices.
Zoom’s focus on frictionless meetings
across conference rooms and teaming
spaces is well aligned with Aruba’s smart
digital workspace initiative.
“The workplace has evolved into experiences
in which people, content and tools must
seamlessly interact,” said Eric Yuan, Chief
Executive Officer at Zoom.
“Zoom’s mobile, desktop and software-
based room conferencing systems foster
those experiences by allowing the most
suitable tools to work together. That
openness is a breath of fresh air for
customers who for years had no choice but
to buy their networks and telepresence from
a single vendor.”
To deliver a wide variety of proven digital
workplace productivity and enterprise IoT
solutions, Aruba has furthered its ArubaEdge
Technology Partner Program, adding smart
digital workplace partners AccelTex, HPE
Pointnext, Lunera, Patrocinium and SpaceIQ
to a list that already includes Envoy, Robin
and Teem. These partners deliver integrated
solutions that leverage a combination
of location services, secure enterprise
IoT management for personalised and
automated digital workplaces.
“Our customers are increasingly interested in
modern workplace environments driven by
the growth in mobility and IoT,” said Tony
Balistrieri, VP, Corporate Field Sales, Zones,
Inc. “These new trends increase the reliance
on having a trusted partner for solutions
architecting which is essential when bringing
together multiple technologies to deliver
smart digital workplaces.” n
