[Advertorial] The way we work has changed dramatically in recent years. We no longer only work in the office, but also at home, on the road or at customer sites. We want fast and secure access to data and applications under all circumstances. This presents companies with major challenges. With Workplace as a Service (WPaaS), Proximus NXT offers organizations a solution and leads them to the workplace of the future.

This workplace is digital-first, giving employees the tools to communicate with customers, collaborate, work remotely, automate repetitive tasks, and protect company data. The digital workplace creates an efficient, secure and flexible environment and improves the digital experience of both customers (CX) and employees (DEX).

A modern, digital workplace increases productivity and engagement because employees can easily connect and collaborate with colleagues using useful tools. For Nele Verhaegen, Workplace Solution Consultant, it is therefore not surprising that companies are throwing their digital workplace into the fight for talent. “Today, a smart workplace strategy largely reflects the identity of a company.”

Smart buildings

A workplace is also more than just an office and is becoming increasingly important, for example through the connection to smart building applications. “Just imagine an employee who can easily book a meeting room via an app,” says Stijn Bogaerts, Smart Business Generator at Proximus NXT. “The building management system then ensures that the respective room is heated, lit and ventilated at the right time. Using only what is needed, when it is needed, dramatically reduces the environmental footprint.”

“Creating a digital, sustainable workplace is not only good for the environment, but also for employees and business results,” adds Nele. “By investing in sustainable practices and technologies, companies can reduce their environmental footprint, increase efficiency, improve the health and well-being of their employees, while saving costs. It’s a win-win-win situation that leads to a more sustainable future for everyone.”

Workplace as a Service (WPaaS)

Unfortunately, many companies do not have the capacity to set up their digital workplace themselves. “The technical aspect alone represents a challenge for many companies,” says Sander Geerkens, WPaaS product manager at Proximus NXT. “There is a structural shortage of IT profiles on the labor market. This makes it difficult for a company to take care of all IT management itself.”

With Workplace as a Service (WPaaS), Proximus NXT supports companies in the well-thought-out setup of their digital workplace. A company acquires the entire workplace – devices, apps and all associated services – in the form of a scalable service. “Companies can focus on their core tasks while Proximus takes care of updates, security and user support,” concludes Sander.
