Throughout COVID we used the "Right Now" (or something similar) to assess how many users were inside a building for government compliance. Easy to set up and report on.

The counting of users has allowed management to assess how many users have returned to work and allocate appropriate numbers of …

Incentivized

Behavioral Insights

Since the business is more aware of user movements as a result of using location services, they have been able to provision power services to buildings appropriate to the usage.

Asset Management

Cisco Spaces shows us what our utilization of our Access points and what bandwidth we are using. The assets management also allows us to see what area is used the most with mobile devices. We can also see how many cell phones connect to our APs and when they connect or disconnect.

Asset Management

That one's also easy because we used it on our blood monitors. And it's a little side case that you'll laugh at. So we have just monitors that are wireless and they were suddenly going missing. We didn't know why. We found out that actually nurses had like a favorite monitor and they would stash …

So, with us, the asset locator is the biggest one. Locating all the assets. We didn't really shut down for covid. We're a hospital, so we didn't really shut down. But a lot of things became more digital, so we were handing out more iPhones, iPads, that type of thing. And we needed to be able to …

Behavioral Insights

So in our environment, it helps with nursing behavior. We never realized how likely they lost things before because it wasn't as widely reported when we got a tool, that all they had to do was call in and put in a ticket and say, "Hey, I lost my phone." And we were able to locate it and go and …

Asset Management

So in our org, the usage is more when we see a bunch of iPhones, ones that are all bundled together, it gives us kind of an idea of where to find and all of the nurses or a nurses station that type of thing. Or, if we are noticing wireless tickets and complaints increasing, we can pull up spaces …

Incentivized

Cisco DNA Spaces Applications

Organizational Challenges Faced

While large parts of the Museum can do their jobs remotely. Other parts (Visitor Engagement, Security, Ticketing, projectionists, tour guides etc ) must be in the Museum to do their jobs. This has lead to a disparity with our work force. Leadership is working on a plan to appease both. This plan …

Impact on Organizational Challenges

We wouldn't have been able to install a remote work force if not for products Cisco and others provided. Collaboration is key to any successful organization. Especially an art institution and learning center.

Incentivized

Hybrid Work Experience

There have been many positives aspects of working remote. Costs and time savings. But we also suffer from collaboration challenges, Webex meeting burnout and a general feeling of FOMO (fear of missing out). Many have complained about this. The lack of "FaceTime".

Incentivized

Other Products Considered

We tried Zoom, Google Meet but Cisco had better overall solutions that came baked in one solution. We dabbled with different technologies but being a Cisco centric shop, Cisco products fit in seamlessly.
