Background to the Contract

SmartSpace and the international bank have worked together over the last few months to create a software solution which is specified to the bank's specific requirements. With 86,000 employees across more than 60 markets and a portfolio of close to 2,000 meeting rooms across its office and branch estates, the bank is committed to greatly improving its 'Employee Experience' as part of its global Workplace strategy. Thus, with the smart software know-how to be provided by SmartSpace, the bank is investing in a cutting-edge workspace management software system, to be able to have the potential capability to provide a truly smart solution for its employees.

Commenting on the announcement, Frank Beechinor, CEO of SmartSpace said: "We are pleased to be announcing a further new major contract. Our technical and operational team has been working with this leading international bank's in-house CRE team over the last few months, which has successfully culminated in now being able to announce this significant contract to the market. This contract is significant due to the ambitious roll-out plan to deliver the on-premise platform solution in 2019 and also due to the commitment of this client to work with SmartSpace for a minimum of five years.  We are confident that the fully integrated workspace solutions platform we will be implementing will have a major impact on the bank's operational efficiency and will, if fully deployed across all the bank's locations, offer a significant overall improvement of its employees' experience. We look forward to building a successful and long-term relationship with one of the world's leading international banks."
