The global COVID-19 pandemic has had far-reaching impacts. 

Among them was the almost-overnight shift to working from home. Organizations throughout the world closed offices and sent office employees home to work. Thanks to internet connections and cloud-based solutions, video conferencing platforms and VPNs, workers managed their day-to-day tasks from their home office, couch, or kitchen table, and companies continued to function.

After months of working from home, companies have started to return employees to the office, or are making plans for when and how that will happen.

The infrastructure that enables Office 2.0 will need to support a greater reliance on technology. Changes that will be implemented as part of the return-to-the-office will accelerate the adoption of intelligent building solutions.

With collaboration as a key role, you can expect your conference rooms and meeting spaces to do extra duty. Your employees will appreciate a thoughtful and robust approach in these rooms:

• Easy-to-use equipment that supports BYOD and touch-free operation so participants can share information from any device without the need to disinfect components between uses
• Dual screens so off-site participants can be part of the discussion
  
• Room scheduling tools that know if a room is occupied
• Touch-free options for AV equipment, as well as lights, blinds, and HVAC equipment
• Enough wireless connectivity to support multiple connected devices for everyone in the room

Panduit and Atlona are here to help you plan for your return to the office. With a wide range of AV equipment for collaboration spaces, and the infrastructure to support smart buildings, we are your one-stop shop for the next generation of office.
