FM Power Hour on 18 September 2024: Digitalization, New Work and Automation

Hamburg, September 12, 2024_ - FM-Connect GmbH invites facility managers and experts to the FM Power Hour on September 18, 2024 from 3:00 to 4:00 pm. The event is dedicated to the digitization of documents and archives, a key topic that is revolutionizing not only the way companies work, but also their infrastructure. Due to the influence of new forms of work, automation and internationalization, facility managers are experiencing a profound change that brings with it new opportunities and challenges.

New Work and the role of digitalization in facility management

Digitalization is the driver behind new working models such as remote work, home office and the idea of New Work, which enable a more flexible and mobile way of working. Digital technologies give employees access to documents and data from anywhere in the world, which not only reduces the amount of space required in the office, but also calls into question the need for physical presence. This flexibility requires facility managers to take a new approach to office design. Process automation and collaboration tools such as video conferencing enable virtual teams to work together seamlessly across borders while remaining efficient.

The FM Power Hour will focus on how facility managers can redefine their office space. While physical presence in offices is declining, the need for collaborative workspaces and smart workplaces designed for flexibility is increasing. Modern office spaces need to support hybrid models that are optimized for both on-site collaboration and remote access. At the same time, automating processes brings significant efficiency gains by minimizing repetitive tasks and making the best use of resources.

Expert presentation by Martin Echt: Digital transformation in facility management

During the event, Martin Echt, Managing Director of Martin Echt GmbH, will share his expertise on the digitization and archiving of documents. Echt will present innovative strategies and best practices to modernize document management and meet legal requirements. Participants will learn how digital systems improve the protection of sensitive data and enable efficient, location-independent working methods.

Automation as the key to increasing efficiency

Facility management is increasingly characterized by automated processes that enable operating costs to be lowered and space requirements to be reduced at the same time. Routine tasks such as contract management, maintenance work or room bookings can be automated using intelligent systems. This technology enables facility managers to focus on strategic tasks such as optimizing work environments and creating space solutions that support the needs of a modern, mobile workforce.

In addition, the internationalization of the workplace is another issue that facility managers need to consider. As workplaces move to different countries and time zones, office space and digital systems need to be flexible and globally accessible. This requires investment in secure cloud-based systems and an IT infrastructure that meets the needs of an international workforce.

New Work: The future of work is flexible and digital

The New Work approach calls for a rethink in the way office spaces are designed and how they work. Facility managers must be able to support hybrid working models in which employees can work productively both from home and in the office. Digitalization creates the basis for this by enabling seamless access to documents and information from any location. At the same time, it promotes the mobility of the workforce, which allows companies to respond flexibly to the needs of their employees and adapt their work to modern lifestyles.

Internationalization and the growing number of remote employees also require companies to make their office infrastructure internationally accessible and secure at the same time. Digital archiving processes and secure communication channels play a key role in meeting compliance requirements worldwide and managing data securely.
