Case Study
IoT Implementation in Furniture Manufacturing: A Case Study of Steelcase
Steelcase, a renowned manufacturer of office furniture, has always viewed technology as a key differentiator in its business. The company recently introduced Workplace Advisor and Personal Assistant, a space sensing network and mobile app designed to help organizations harness big data to optimize the workplace. However, as Steelcase operates globally and distributes through a network of independent and company-owned dealers, as well as selling directly to end-users, the company faced challenges in securing its data both on-premises and in the cloud. The company had been using the Microsoft Azure platform for its web infrastructure and was developing a cloud-based e-commerce system using Amazon Web Services (AWS). However, the security controls and visibility provided with these cloud platforms were basic and not to the level of sophistication that Steelcase's policies required.
