Lenovo Defines Workplace Efficiency in 3 Parts

  • Ensuring Workspace
    Optimisation
  • Enabling Downtime
    Reduction
  • Enhancing IT
    Automation

Workspace Optimisation

Most offices worldwide are 50% under-utilized always, due to changing work styles, mobile technologies, and business needs2. One way to offset this is by adopting an activity-based approach to working. This enables employees to work as it suits them, not only optimising the usable space, but also saving power costs.

There are three elements that are crucial to optimise your workplace:

  • Right Endpoint Devices
  • Efficient Collaboration Technologies
  • Smart Meeting Manager

Downtime Reduction

Downtime can be a result of a variety of problems – from an accidental human error to a planned malicious attack, data corruption, storage, power, or network failures, a natural disaster, and more. Whatever the cause, downtime can harm your business in many ways: decreased work efficiency, increased IT costs, data loss, and a bad reputation. An IDC study revealed that an average downtime costs $70,000 per hour3. It is essential to have the right IT infrastructure to help you overcome errors and cyber-attacks without impacting your productivity.

Three main causes for downtime are:

  • Human Error/Malicious Attacks
  • Data Corruption/Storage Failure
  • Power and Network Failure
