Mezzanine is the only platform for the enterprise that brings immersive and multi-dimensional computing power to globally connected teams. Mezzanine uses architectural space to surround a work group with all of the information it needs to get real work done. With Mezzanine, executives are empowered to connect and contribute visuals and live streams from their own devices simultaneously so that everyone on the team can see vital information side-by-side, plus sort across surfaces, edit, and annotate for the most effective communication and outcomes. This kind of spatial computing power is well suited to the design/build world, which relies heavily on visual information and collaboration between subject matter experts to drive innovative solutions and bring projects to life.
As the world–s leading global architecture firm, Gensler–s own research confirms that workplace design considerations are essential for driving business innovation. In its of 4,000 office workers in 11 industries, Gensler found that the most innovative firms prioritize collaboration in workplace design, empower workers as meaningful contributors, and have management that clearly cares about worker satisfaction. The most innovative firms are five times more likely to prioritize both individual AND collaborative group workspace.
Oblong CEO John Underkoffler commented, “Gensler is responsible for some of the world–s best and most actionable thinking about the ways in which the arrangement of architectural space can shape, organize, and benefit human work patterns. From the beginning, Oblong–s approach to technology and design has been highly aligned: how can an evolution of the user interface (UI) make digital workflows more like those that depend on architectural space? Mezzanine is a direct manifestation of that philosophy.”
