Smartway2 workplace scheduling
Smartway2 - the next-genera- tion technology company spe- cialising in workplace sched- uling solutions, has announced a new partner program. It is making its workplace schedul- ing solution available to more channel partners, referral part- ners, systems integrators and technology partners. This is in response to the growing mar- ket demand it is enjoying for its solutions, from organisa- tions wanting to create more flexible, optimised workspac- es; a dynamic accelerated by COVID-19 and the need for staff to return to a safe work- place.
Smartway2’s Workplace Trans- formation Partner Program is for companies, consultants or advisors who may already offer IT and AV solutions, and want to transform the way their clients interact with the spaces, desks and ’items’ in their workplace, to help boost productivity and collaboration. The Program is ideally suited to partners in-
volved in smart office design, agile working, AV integration, or some other aspect of improving the way people work. With its rapid expansion, Smartway2 has invested heav- ily in product development and innovation. Its growth reflects the accelerating demand it is seeing from private and public sector
organisations that are
adopting more agile, optimised ways of working. Smartway2’s partners help to deliver these capabilities through their ex- pertise and high-quality solu- tions, services and relation- ships. To ensure a strong, long-term relationship and to help its partners maximise opportuni- ties, Smartway2 equips them with the essential tools they need to successfully offer, pro- mote and support Smartway2’s solutions. This includes a com- prehensive Partner toolkit and regularly updated training and support, along with the reas- surance of a dedicated partner
manager committed to under- standing the partner’s business and growth strategy. To further reward successful partners, Smartway2 offers the incentive of revenue share, too. “We are expanding our partner network in order to continue our global growth trajectory,” said Smartway2’s CEO, John T. Anderson. “The strength of demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic has been unprece- dented, as organisations strive to protect their people as they transition back to work.” He added: “When we set out to build the world’s most flexible workplace scheduling solu- tion, we had no idea it would be so well suited to managing this transition during a pan- demic, but we’re grateful to be in such a strong a position to help organisations through this challenging time. By partnering with companies that share our values, together we help ful- fil this urgent global need to adopt a data-driven approach
to optimising the interactions between people, spaces and things.”
Founded in 2014, Smartway2 has expanded aggressively in the past two years, opening corporate headquarters in the U.S. and growing its footprint in APAC and Europe. Having
invested heavily in
product development over the past 18 months, the company has quadrupled its client base, innovated new capabilities and won significant market share. Enterprises using Smartway2 include: one of the largest can- cer centres in the world, a large global electronics distributor, a major gaming developer and organisations in the legal, gov- ernment, technology, pharma, manufacturing and finance in- dustries. Smartway2’s partner program already includes organisations like Kinly, PTS Consulting, Hereworks, ASI Solutions, ITI Systems, Proxyclick, Drawbase Software and TOPMIND. CEO

UK households prepare for the smart home boom
The number of connected de- vices in UK homes is set to surge over the next few years, but consumers face a Wi-Fi meltdown unless they upgrade outdated tech – says NET- GEAR, the leading provider of the mesh Wi-Fi systems that power today’s smart homes and small businesses. NETGEAR highlights
the importance of
upgrading home networks to keep pace with the rapid growth of smart home and IoT devices in the home.
The number of IoT devices in UK homes is increasing at a rapid rate. According to a new study from Aviva[1], the aver- age home in the UK now has 10.3 connected devices which is more than 286 million na- tionally. However, with many consumers still relying on out- dated
or ISP-supplied Wi-Fi
routers, this explosion in in- ternet-connected devices will overwhelm many Wi-Fi routers. Consumers are spending thou- sands on smartphones, smart TVs and other connected de- vices, but then pairing them with cheap and antiquated Wi- Fi router technology. Not only will an outdated Wi-Fi router severely limit the performance of smart home devices, but the growing number of devices will
quickly cause them to become overloaded. By 2025, reports estimate that there will be 75 billion internet connected de- vices worldwide – a five-fold in- crease in ten years. Combined with the increased prevalence of homeworking as a result of local and national lockdown restrictions, the demands on home internet connections has never been higher and is only set to grow.
According to the Online Nation 2020 report by Ofcom, nearly six-in-ten UK homes now have a smart TV. This is up from 42% two years ago. More than a fifth (22%) of UK adults have a smart speaker in the home. And, according to The State of the Connected Home report, three out of five (60%) of UK consumers own at least one smart home device. Currently, 30% of UK consumers own five or more connected devic- es, and with the rapid growth that is projected to occur over the next three years, now is the ideal time to upgrade.
