Cisco DNA Spaces

Bob Cicero, Cisco’s smart building leader for the Americas, demonstrated how Cisco has built technology into its New York office. He outlined how Cisco’s floorplan uses technology as what he calls a “fourth utility.” That includes IoT devices that monitor the air and sunlight for optimal energy usage as well as WebEx Rooms.

Cicero said efforts to “digitize real estate” are helping employees return to the office in the age of hybrid work.

“If you design a very inviting space, people want to come back,” he said.
