The technology team spent three days at the Integrate Expo in Sydney doing a deep-dive into what’s next for workplace technology. After hands-on time with the latest vendor hardware and briefings from experts in larger markets, we have identified some clear trends shaping procurement decisions and recurring capability gaps that slow real-world adoption.
What’s next in Workplace Technology
- AI continues to be embedded across AV and hybrid work tools are maturing into a seamless employee experience which will increase productivity and workplace management.
- Occupancy sensing is now a standard tool as property portfolios demand smarter, data-driven management. Falling sensor prices and improving accuracy are making these solutions more accessible, enabling clearer insights for space optimisation and operational decision-making.
- BYOD is making a comeback globally while in New Zealand, we remain Teams centric.
- Large format displays are becoming cheaper and even bigger with projectors becoming a legacy product in corporate environments.
- Digital signage continues to grow steadily with display hardware being cheaper than ever and screens becoming the default channel for internal marketing, communications and wayfinding.
- Mobile credentials stored in digital wallets are becoming the international standard – both Apple and Google wallet integration allows access to a premise without apps.
