Advanced achieves their dynamic growth through strategic acquisition, which means welcoming new people and properties into the organisation. It also means making sure their workplaces support incoming roles and requirements.
Every modern work environment demands a people-centric approach. As Advanced continues to spread their people across multiple sites, roles and services, these challenges need to be met at speed.
Connecting people to a workplace involves understanding how working patterns, preferences and – crucially for a business like Advanced – technology will be required to support them. The pace of change within the software development industry often dictates a company’s direction and ambition, so it’s important their property and real estate infrastructure and strategies remain in step.
By maintaining a constant watch for leasing opportunities, lease breaks and business cases for centralisation, where appropriate, Advanced can stay as agile as possible.
Their developed space in the famous Mailbox in Birmingham acts as a local powerhouse, encouraging visits from national management and senior leadership teams from all over the UK. The ideas, brand and philosophies represented in this space are also reflected in the smaller hubs across the country.
Through consultation, courting opinions and translating relevant insights and data, Advanced can implement faster and, as a result, save on their operating costs.
