Focus on the most important meeting rooms and build your own view. Ensuring quick access to information without shifting through irrelevant details. 
Add notes to meetings directly in your overview, so you don't have to search through multiple sticky notes and documents to find a specific detail.

Workplace Central is now accessible to all eligible users, however (
at the time of writing) it is still in "early access". This indicates that the product is ready for use, but we are still working in a tight feedback loop with customers to finish the last details, making it completely enterprise ready. 

Read the article below or check our website to learn more about Workplace Central.

What is Workplace Central? 

Workplace Central is a completely new interface to the AskCody Portal showing relevant meeting information in a grid-like overview of all room and desk bookings, services, and attendees.

Customize your views

Customize your Workplace Central to fit your needs.

If you work in a large organization with multiple offices, meeting rooms, and workspaces to take care of, it might be challenging to get a clear overview of the resources that are relevant to you.

With the new Workplace Central, you can easily switch between locations and customize your view, so you can focus on the rooms, desks, or other resources that matter to you.

Built for the future on Microsoft Graph technology

Workplace Central utilizes the latest Microsoft Graph technology. As a result, we can harness the intelligence and insights provided by the Microsoft Cloud, including data from Office 365, Windows 11, and Enterprise Mobility + Security.

Furthermore, it has been built with a high level of security, utilizing Microsoft Azure Single Sign-On as the default authentication method.
