In a strategic move set to capitalize on the explosive growth in hybrid work solutions, workplace management innovator Maptician has achieved certification for Crestron's scheduling devices. This partnership comes at a crucial time, as research from Global Workplace Analytics shows that 56% of the U.S. workforce has a job compatible with remote work, and companies are racing to optimize their office spaces for the hybrid era.
"The workplace is experiencing its most dramatic transformation in a century," says AshLea Allberry, COO of Maptician. "Our certification with Crestron isn't just about technology integration – it's about creating seamless experiences for employees who move fluidly between home and office environments. This collaboration represents a significant leap forward in making hybrid work truly work."
The certification, completed through Crestron's rigorous third-party testing process, enables Maptician's workplace management platform to integrate with Crestron's enterprise-grade touch screens and scheduling devices. This integration comes as organizations worldwide grapple with optimizing their real estate investments—a particularly timely solution given that JLL Research reports that 77% of CRE leaders believe making their offices more suitable for hybrid collaboration is crucial for attracting talent.
Bob Bavolacco, Crestron's Director of Technology Partnerships, highlights the strategic timing: "Workplace reservation solutions have seen unprecedented demand as organizations strive to create premium environments for hybrid employees. Maptician's innovative approach to workplace management, now paired with Crestron's enterprise-grade hardware, offers organizations the sophisticated tools they need to thrive in this new era of work."
