Cisco and ServiceNow work together to safely return to the office

Cisco and ServiceNow will jointly provide solutions that will enable the company to get employees back to the office to work safely. This solution can make contact tracking possible.

The current COVID19 pandemic still poses a major challenge for companies in terms of employees returning safely to the office or production environment. Especially when implementing contact tracking, you can quickly determine the actions of active employees in the company environment and the colleagues they may be in contact with.

Cisco cooperates with ServiceNow

Therefore, Cisco and ServiceNow have joined forces and will soon propose some specific solutions to this problem. The solution includes the integration of the indoor localization platform Cisco DNA Spaces and ServiceNow’s Safe Workplace Suite. In addition, there will be a jointly developed application for tracking specific contacts.

concrete application

DNA Spaces is part of Cisco’s network segmentation solution. The service is based on the technology giant’s various wireless and business geolocation technologies. DNA Spaces provides location-based data and analysis on how people and objects move within physical offices and other buildings. Customers can also intervene immediately.

ServiceNow’s Safe Workplace Suite tool can help companies ensure a safe return to the work environment. For example, you can monitor the health of employees and manage the inventory of protective equipment. The kit also provides a dashboard where all the data is collected visually by the contact tracking application. In addition, a map based on public data also shows the status of the number of infections.

More initiatives

Cisco and ServiceNow are not the only major technology companies now working together to help the company safely return employees to the workplace. Other examples include IBM and Workday, as well as Salesforce and Siemens.
