Session Group 2 (Choose from 2 options):
Deploy Digital Workspace Solutions for the New Normal

With the majority of offices, public buildings and shops being closed due to COVID-19, building management teams were required to periodically, physically visit sites, ensuring that lighting, climate control systems and CCTV systems were all still working correctly. With each trip, they were potentially risking their own and others health. However, those with smart building systems implemented, building management were able to safely and remotely monitor systems and fix any issues, from the safety of their homes. As we anticipate a new normal in terms of safety and health, and as we look to start introducing more people back into buildings, smart building management systems will have the ability to support applications that can help to safely monitor and manage the threat of coronavirus.
