Siemens and Salesforce partner to deliver the future experience for safe workplaces
Key
solutions include a ‘touchless office’ with mobile employee boarding passes for
building and elevator entry, and a safe occupancy management system, which
allows employees to reserve conference rooms and desks through Comfy’s app that
sends real-time alerts as thresholds are reached. Additionally, by leveraging
occupancy and location data provided by Enlighted and aggregated within Comfy,
including employee check-in and desk and room reservations, businesses will be
able to augment their manual contact tracing in Work.com. This will allow for a
faster and more accurate emergency response. Contact tracing will be an opt-in
solution to respect users’ privacy.
Combining best-in-class IoT technology from Siemens with Salesforce’s Work.com solutions will enable customers to make data-driven decisions based on real-time data and create a flexible framework for the future workplace experience. Siemens and Salesforce will be the first to deploy the new solutions in their own offices, including Siemens Smart Infrastructure headquarters in Zug, Switzerland, and Salesforce Tower in San Francisco.
“The safe return of people to the workplace
is a global challenge, and it’s vital that companies protect their employees to
build trust and confidence,” said Roland Busch, Deputy CEO and member of the
managing board of Siemens AG. “Together with Salesforce we can swiftly support
businesses around the world to implement technology which supports employees as
they return to the office, while laying the foundations of long-term digital
transformation in workplaces.”
“Organizations
worldwide are beginning to reimagine the future workplace experience, putting
their employees’ health and safety at the center of their digital
transformations,” said Alex Dayon, President and Chief Strategy Officer,
Salesforce. “By combining Siemens’ Smart Infrastructure solutions with
Salesforce’s Work.com, we are giving companies the tools to make smart,
data-driven decisions quickly and the confidence to reopen safely.”
Siemens
plans to contribute technology from its Smart Infrastructure portfolio,
including IoT solutions company Enlighted and workplace experience solution
Comfy. Data is collected multiple times per second by cloud-connected smart
sensors from Enlighted. Enlighted’s Building IoT platform creates ‘sensory
systems’ throughout the building, giving real-time insight and analytics into
how the building is used, and providing occupancy and location services for
people and assets. Comfy’s Safe Workplace Solution features an employee-facing
app which enables businesses to keep people informed and productive, while
providing a workspace that is safe and compliant with local regulations.
Employees are able to view and reserve desks and meeting rooms that adhere to distancing
guidelines in real time, search for and navigate to health and safety amenities
and request services such as sanitization. In addition, Comfy Insights offers
businesses an analytics dashboard to better understand how offices are being
used, informing a smarter, data-driven strategy for future workplaces.
Salesforce’s
Work.com, powered by Customer 360, is an all-new suite of applications and
advisory resources to help business and community leaders around the world
reopen safely. Work.com’s essentials solutions – including Workplace Command
Center, Contact Tracing, Emergency Response Management and Rapid Crisis
