The modern workplace is no longer just a place to show up, it’s an experience employees expect to navigate effortlessly.
But here’s the real question organizations are starting to ask: What if booking a space was only the beginning?
As in-office strategies continue to evolve, one challenge remains: how do you make spaces easier to find, easier to book and far more meaningful to use?
Microsoft Places, enhanced by 22Miles, is opening the door to something bigger. Not just a booking tool, but the foundation for a truly connected workplace ecosystem. And this is just the beginning.
Beyond Desk Booking: A Shift Is Happening
Workplace teams aren’t just managing reservations anymore. They’re navigating:
- Hybrid schedules
- Underutilized office space
- Rising expectations for seamless, intuitive experiences
Microsoft Places already redefines how spaces are scheduled, but what happens when that intelligence extends beyond the desktop and into the physical workplace itself? 22Miles is beginning to answer that question by transforming digital intent into real-world interaction.
The result? A workplace that doesn’t just function it begins to flow together.
Why Organizations Are Leaning In
Organizations aren’t looking for another tool. They’re looking for something more connected, more intuitive something that actually works across the entire workplace.
That’s where 22Miles comes in:
A More Seamless Booking Experience
Finding and reserving space becomes faster, simpler, and far less frustrating.
A Connected Digital Ecosystem
Touchscreens, wayfinding, room boards, and digital signage start working together—not separately.
A Bridge Between Digital and Physical
What employees see on their desktop doesn’t stop there—it starts to show up everywhere.
Scalability Without Complexity
From one office to many, the experience stays consistent.
Built for what’s next
As workplace expectations evolve, the system evolves with them.
The Problem Isn’t Booking, It’s Disconnection
Most workplaces don’t struggle with tools. They struggle with how those tools don’t talk to each other.
The result?
- Confusing booking experiences
- No real-time visibility into spaces
- Disconnected systems and data
- Underused offices
- Frustrated employees
What’s missing isn’t another platform; it’s connection.
What Makes 22Miles Different?
Most solutions stop at the screen, but not 22Miles.
Instead of keeping Microsoft Places confined to the desktop, 22Miles quietly extends it into the physical workplace, turning data into something visible and navigable, while providing one source of truth between all digital connections.
Think:
- Interactive kiosks that reflect real-time availability
- Wayfinding displays that guide employees dynamically
- Room boards and signage that stay in sync automatically
This becomes even more powerful as Microsoft expands into its emerging “Kiosk” category, and 22Miles helps bring that vision to life.
By leveraging IMDF-based mapping, a single source of truth starts to emerge across:
- Desktop
- Mobile
- Physical spaces
- Digital displays
A Glimpse at What’s Possible
We’re not revealing everything just yet, but here’s a preview of what’s taking shape:
Real-Time Space Visibility, Everywhere
Not just on your laptop, but across the entire workplace.
Book Anywhere, Navigate Instantly
From reservation to arrival, the experience connects.
Interactive Maps That Actually Guide You
Not static directories, dynamic, responsive navigation.
Screens That Reflect What’s Happening Right Now
Every touchpoint stays aligned.
Smarter Insights, Better Decisions
Workplace data becomes something you can actually use.
Who This Impacts
This isn’t owned by just one team. It’s shaping how multiple roles come together, including:
- Workplace Communications
- IT
- Facilities and Operations
- Employee Experience
- Corporate Real Estate
- Digital Transformation leaders
Because creating a better workplace experience is no longer siloed—it’s shared.
A Connected Ecosystem Is Taking Shape
When Microsoft Places connects with the 22Miles Employee Office Suite, something more unified begins to form:
- Intelligent
- Connected
- Consistent across every touchpoint
From booking a desk to navigating a building, the experience starts to feel like one system—not many.
Built for What’s Next
22Miles is already collaborating with system integrators like:
- AVISPL
- FORTE
- Solutionz
—and opening the door for more partners working within the Microsoft Places ecosystem.
Because this isn’t a closed system, it’s something designed to grow.
The Workplace, Reimagined
The future workplace isn’t just digital. It’s connected. Visible. Intuitive. And it’s closer than you think.
By bringing together Microsoft Places and 22Miles, organizations are beginning to move beyond booking, and toward something more complete.
