Digital workspace

What is a digital workspace?

A digital workspace is the set of cloud-based apps, data and collaboration tools people use to do their work from any location or device. In many organizations it is built on Microsoft 365, with email and calendars in Outlook, chat and calls in Teams and files in SharePoint and OneDrive.

What a digital workspace includes

  • Email, calendars and scheduling
  • Chat, video calls and online meetings
  • Shared documents and storage
  • Single sign-on and security across apps

Where the digital and physical workspace meet

Meetings are where the two come together. A meeting is planned in the calendar, but it also needs a room, equipment, perhaps catering and a welcome for guests. When the physical side lives outside the digital workspace, details get lost between systems.

How AskCody fits

AskCody brings the physical side of meetings into Microsoft 365. People book rooms and desks, order services and invite visitors from Outlook, and bookings stay in Exchange. See Microsoft 365 and Exchange integration.
