Our Point of View on Gartner Findings
Hybrid work has become the norm across enterprises, but many organizations continue to see gaps between what they’ve invested in and the experience employees actually have day-to-day.
At CXAI, we recognize this as one of the biggest challenges facing IT, HR, CRE, and Workplace Experience today. The insights from Gartner® strongly reinforce what we’re seeing in the market and what our platform is designed to address.
The Challenge: Fragmented Workplace Technology
Across the enterprise, workplace technology stacks have evolved quickly but unevenly. Employees often jump between:
Booking tools
Collaboration platforms
Visitor systems
Space management solutions
Communications tools
Workplace experience apps
According to Gartner®, this fragmentation is a major contributor to workplace friction and unmet employee expectations especially in hybrid environments.
At CXAI, we see this daily in conversations with customers:complexity reduces engagement, lowers productivity, and obscures the data needed for real-time decision making.
Why Adaptive Workplace Experiences Are Becoming Essential
Gartner® outlines a framework for adaptive workplace experiences that evolve with an employee’s context - helping them navigate their day with less friction and more support. This includes:
Anticipating space needs
Connecting employees to colleagues and resources
Automating time-consuming tasks
Recommending optimal days to come onsite
Adjusting building experiences based on intent and behavior
This progression from “Sync Me” to “Be Me”, aligns closely with how CXAI approaches workplace experience design.
We build systems that not only connect people, places, and spaces but also adapt dynamically based on preference, usage, and organizational patterns.
How AI and Analytics Power the Shift
A key insight from Gartner®:
Adaptive workplace experiences cannot exist without strong AI and analytics. This includes:
✅ Identifying underutilized spaces
✅ Supporting real-time occupancy planning
✅ Personalizing workspace recommendations
✅ Understanding team collaboration patterns
✅ Streamlining workplace workflows
✅ Reducing operational and technology waste
Within CXAI, AI and analytics serve as the connective tissue, enabling our platform to learn, predict, and personalize at scale.
This is where our differentiators align strongly with Gartner® direction for the industry.
Unifying Systems Into a Single Workplace Operating System
Gartner® emphasizes that progress requires consolidation and interoperability, not more tools.
This aligns directly with CXAI’s mission:a unified workplace operating system that brings together worktech, collaboration tools, space data, and employee experience into one platform.
This shifts the workplace from reactive to adaptive, reducing complexity for employees and giving leaders actionable clarity.
Why This Matters for Today's Enterprise
From our conversations with large organizations, the themes are consistent:
- IT wants fewer tools and fewer support tickets
- HR wants better engagement and a sense of belonging
- CRE wants accurate utilization data to drive real estate strategy
- Workplace Experience teams want a seamless, integrated employee journey
Gartner® insights reinforce what we are hearing: adaptive, AI-supported workplace experiences are quickly becoming a priority, not just a technology choice.
