By Manish Bakshi, Managing Director, BenQ Middle East

As the world begins to thrive again following the pandemic, it is evident that Asia-Pacific and Middle East regions are expected to become influential players in this new wave of prosperity. The rapidly advancing digital transformation has brought about a profound, long-term change in both customer and business habits. In this time of upheaval, forward-thinking companies will take the initiative to drive proactive growth in their organizations.

• Embracing workplace digitization will enable seamless collaboration across hybrid workforces.

As physical work tools resume as essential performance applications, technical experts will be held accountable for effective collaboration. The shift to remote working further underscores the need for digital solutions that permit dispersed teams to collaborate and communicate competently. To stay ahead of the competition in 2023 and beyond, companies need to invest in digital solutions like virtual meetings, video conferencing systems, cloud-based data storage platforms, as well as project management tools. The BenQ Board Pro RP03 Series interactive display, for instance, presents an incomparable widescreen experience thanks to its realistic skin tones, which promote inclusivity and equality among all participants.

• Investing in DEX improvements will bolster employee morale and improve productivity.

As digital workplace leaders strive to use technology for hiring top talent, enhancing productivity, and increasing employee engagement levels, Digital Employee Experience (DEX) will remain a critical centrepiece. By incorporating health-oriented technology, businesses can also make a substantial improvement in the morale of their current workforce. It is essential to develop a digital workplace that can help employees manage their physical and mental health.

• A Shift Towards Centralized IT Systems Will Strengthen Cyber Security.

As companies become more reliant on digital tools, investing in cybersecurity solutions is critical for safeguarding sensitive data while preventing unauthorized access to company systems. Security should remain paramount as organizations migrate towards cloud-based services; prioritizing safety will ensure that both clients’ information and business processes are secure. BenQ’s interactive displays, like the revolutionary EH620 Windows Smart Projector for business, are tailored to offer advanced security features, such as single sign-on, multifactor authentication, conditional access with AES 128-bit encryption network security & WPA2 wireless protection, to guarantee that your data is safe from potential cyber threats making you immune to most attacks.

• Making the workplace experience personalized will be crucial for digital businesses to stay ahead. 

As technology advances, so does the importance of personalization in the digital workplace. By customizing both customer and employee interactions, businesses can create more meaningful experiences that will ultimately increase engagement and productivity among their employees. Businesses need to consider solutions that offer one-tap personalized login, single-click collaboration, and a range of motion/proximity, temperature, humidity, particulate matter and air quality sensors to provide adaptive customizable technology solutions to their workforce to enable personalization in the digital workplace.

• Sustainable technology will be the cornerstone of all strategic initiatives, providing a firm and reliable foundation for continued progress.

Organizations need to be devoted to upholding their Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to support organizations in effectively managing health risks while also preventing the spread of germs at work. As companies strive for digital transformation, sustainable technology will become the cornerstone of their strategy. By investing in eco-friendly solutions that are designed to reduce energy consumption and last longer, businesses can not only save money but also create a firm foundation that ensures success and continued progress. We strive to express our commitment through the reliable, safe, and innovative solutions of our business displays and projectors. Moreover, we are dedicated to upgrading technological capabilities with energy-efficient innovations that prioritize sustainability while remaining eco-friendly and secure for use.
