Improving technology in Bristol offices

By Bristol24/7  Monday Apr 1, 2019

Bristol is famous for many things but one of its most impressive achievements is the way office space in Bristol is being improved. Saying office spaces are being improved is quite the understatement as well in many ways offices in Bristol are being completely enhanced!

That might not sound like such a big deal but think about it how many millions of people across the UK work in offices on a daily basis? How many hours do you think people spend on average in some form of office space?

Quite a lot I’ am guessing and the way Bristol is utilising improving technology in their offices is certainly worthy of praise. Plenty of offices across the whole world, not just the UK could certainly learn from them and improve their own office spaces by utilising similar methods.

Better Business
Better Business is an initiative launched by Bristol24/7 to help businesses thrive, whilst creating a positive impact on Bristol and the people who live here.

Bristol’s rise as one of the UK’s leading smart hubs didn’t happen overnight it has been the result of a lot of work and innovations. Because of this Bristol emerged as the UK’s leading smart city thanks to the collaborative efforts of many groups.

The public, private companies, local businesses, and the local government have utilised technology to great effect. Bristol was also ranked 12th in the European cities with the highest amount of technology investment as well which certainly helped its aspirations to become a leading smart city.

These technological advancements and features aren’t solely being utilised in office spaces they are being used in all sectors but I think Bristol’s office spaces are noteworthy even amongst their other impressive feats. Let’s take a closer look at some of the impressive features inside Bristol’s offices in more detail.

Internet Connections

An internet connection is essential in an office that is a given but an office needs more than just a regular broadband service. An office will require a speedier connection to ensure people around the office can stay in touch with each other and outside clients and partner.

A fast connection will also help you build a better more effective employee intranet. By having a fast intranet connection employees can access information just for them without it being available to the public. Thanks to the advancements in technology a speedy internet connection can now help an office function to the best of its ability and help build a quicker more efficient workforce.

Production Means

Offices are responsible for countless tasks and often house many different departments. Thanks to the improving technology in Bristol offices a business these days can improve all areas of their daily duties. From faster administrative tasks, improved training and better communication to name just a few.

Contact between departments and different offices is now more seamless and thanks to increasing technological advancements businesses can now optimise their performance across all departments. From marketing to advertising and much more Bristol’s offices have shown how technology can impact and help people work to their best of their ability and use their time more efficiently.

Increased Security

Improving technology in Bristol offices is also a valuable way to improve office security. An office contains valuable information that can be easily stolen by outside attackers. It seems like many businesses were slow to adapt to an increasingly efficient movement of cyber criminals.

Many big-name businesses fell victim to things like hacking after their offices where breached. But with the improving technology in Bristol offices, the security risks are now much less great. Cyber security is now much more of a focus in modern offices and Bristol has seen many advanced offices with excellent security being set-up.

One great example of this is the technology company HP (Hewlett-Packard) which opened a new lab office earlier this year. The offices are a research facility for security technology and a great example of how Bristol’s improving tech presence is attracting big businesses to it.

A Powerful and Innovative Local Technology Hub

Thanks to the influx of investors and emerging new start-ups as well as the local governments desire to develop Bristol into a smart city the area in and around Bristol is becoming an increasingly popular location for tech businesses. This means other businesses can benefit from working together as well.

Geographically Bristol is in a very good location research from Tech Nation outlined “a productivity power path” that went from London to the River Severn. Bristol and Bath are two of the main cities to benefit from this thanks to the strong connections it gives them to other established tech firms in London.

These strong almost local connections are another amazing benefit of basing your offices in Bristol. While London might be the capital city of the UK and hub for many industries Bristol is the leading smart city which gives it an edge for tech business offices.

Bristol’s improving offices have utilised many technological improvements and thanks to expansive support from various groups tech start-ups are being drawn to the city and can already utilise many advancements to ensure their offices are operating a peak efficiency. Bristol’s growth as a potential smart city is already impressive as its offices show and it seems like it will only get better in the years to come.
