Tomorrow's Workspace

Offices are in a state of flux; they require cutting-edge technology to cater efficiently to an ever-evolving workforce. With workers now collaborating remotely and beyond, office tech must be upscaled and flexible enough for dynamic working styles.

Neat devices are designed for simplicity, ease of use in an elegant form factor that fosters collaboration, equity, and flexibility.

Neat solutions for the entire office:

  • Lobby
  • Hallway
  • Hot desking
  • Focus room
  • Huddle space
  • Medium space
  • Large meeting space
  • Video centric
  • Common area
  • Open office
  • Training room
  • Creative workshop
  • Personal office

Lobby

Allow visitors and employees to connect face to face with a helpful virtual receptionist or IT support person. The small footprint of the Neat Frame allows for easy placement, while still allowing users to reach out for assistance or reserve available workspaces in the office.

Recommended device: Neat Frame

Hallway

Finding a room to take a spontaneous meeting can be like going on a scavenger hunt sometimes. Adding Neat Pads to help display room availability with LED indicators makes it easier to discover a room to meet. Book that space or reserve another room on the spot.

Flow areas, such as receptions and hallways, where people pass through, are often where people randomly meet and strike up conversations. They can lead to spontaneous meetings and information sharing.

Recommended device: Neat Pad

Hot desking

Workplaces with flexible, reservable, shared, open office environments. The environment might be noisy and the lighting conditions poor. Ideally, you'll want to have phone calls or meetings on a device that provides crystal clear audio and video and has a range of other cutting-edge capabilities that allow for maximum efficiency, privacy and seamless compatibility with your laptop.

Recommended device: Neat Frame

Focus room

Small rooms that offer a private and secluded space for focused in-person and remote teamwork are great for an adhoc meeting or phone call. Butlimited desk space requires an equally small footprint device. What you need in a focus room is sharp audio and video, maximum efficiency, and a seamless wireless companion for your laptop.

Recommended device: Neat Frame

Huddle space

Collaborate and brainstorm in smaller meeting spaces ideal for small groups of 3-5 people. Take a quick huddle with devices built to easy enable a hybrid work session. Instantly start a meeting or share content with HD audio video optimised for the room. You can also take a phone call or dial into a conference bridge.

Flexible and dynamic small huddle rooms for informal in-person and remote engagement encourage impromptu meetings and brainstorming sessions, working on documents or whiteboards, where one person or multiple people are sitting, standing or moving around.

Medium meeting space

A versatile meeting room for in-person or hybrid interaction, planned discussions and the sharing of documents should allow round-table dialogue that includes remote participants.

Large meeting space

Large rooms enable the gathering of bigger groups comprising both in-room and remote participants. Typically, they accommodate planned meetings with discussions and presentations and all-inclusive round-table dialogue. The furniture is arranged to give everyone in the room a front-row seat, and the carpet, wall panels and curtains provide acoustic dampening.

Video-centred

Video-centred rooms optimised for meetings focused on content and remote participants should allow all in-room participants an unobstructed view of the screen. In addition, natural daylight plus ceiling lights should ensure ideal lighting conditions, with carpet, wall panels and curtains providing acoustic dampening.

Social / common area

Connecting with people at the office when working from home is vital for fostering a healthy company culture and maintaining well-being. Chance encounters like catching up with a colleague while they grab a coffee or quickly exchanging ideas over lunch help everyone feel included.

Recommended device: Neat Board (with floor stand)

Open office

Open offices provide employees with work and social areas, inspiring spontaneous meetups, collaborative sessions and agile team exercises. They also prompt personal workspaces reservable via hot desking for ad-hoc syncs with remote colleagues at your desk.

Training / classroom

Rooms for education, seminars, and training for physical and remote participants should include clear audio and video to empower you to easily hear the teacher or instructional material, whether you're physically there in the room or not. When in-room and remote participants can easily see and hear each other, it creates a heightened sense of community through collaboration and interaction.

Creative workshop

Creative rooms for brainstorming sessions and group work with in-room and remote participants often means the flexible use of furniture and office layout to adapt to changing activities.

Personal Office

For personal workspaces in the office or at home, fewer cables and economical use of space are paramount. Ideally, you'll want to have video meetings or phone calls on a dedicated device that provides crystal clear audio and video and has a range of other cutting-edge collaboration capabilities that pairs with your laptop for maximum productivity.
