What are some of the success stories of DNA Spaces?

We have successful deployments across all industries – workspaces, education, retail, hospitality, healthcare, manufacturing, stadiums, airports, banks, etc.

Professional football association (Norwegian Football League) is seeing a 22% opt-in rate for personalized engagements

Large healthcare provider (HCA) reports that time spent searching for assets decreased from 4 hours to 10 minutes

Commercial tool manufacturer (Black and Decker Stanley) reduced inventory holding costs by 10%
Large university (University of British Columbia) reports occupancy-based HVAC resulted in a 5% annual savings in energy costs

Before we deployed the Cisco solution, it was up to each club to set up its own wireless access and portal. Now it is easy to set up different events for different types of venues. In addition to football, we can have established portals for hockey matches in the National Arena, motorcycle races, and other attractions. It gives our venues much more value because the experience can be customized to the specific event.

The two core principles Intu has are they want to make people dwell for longer and come back more often. If we can use Cisco DNA Spaces to do that, then it means that they’re starting to see more revenue because retailers see higher footfall and people are hanging around for longer and spending more money… As we move more into data and software and start to embrace Cisco DNA Spaces and other product sets, that’s how we’re going to stay alive and relevant.
