Digital worlds of experience in The Circle
Digitization of The Circle
The strategic partnership between Flughafen Zürich AG and Microsoft Switzerland marks the official launch of the planning, development and implementation of the digitization of The circle. Digital networking will completely reshape the way people work, shop, enjoy and travel. This will increase the attractiveness of the new destination at Zurich Airport and give important impetus to Switzerland as a location for innovation.In the coming months, Flughafen Zürich AG and Microsoft Switzerland will work together with the future tenants to further develop the vision of the digitized The Circle.
Digital worlds of experience for tenants, employees and guests
In the future, the planned IoT (Internet of Things) platform will also offer customer-focused digital services that provide employees and guests with a new kind of experience. The digital services are intended to help people in The Circle to find their way around the networked space and to make contact with the providers of products and services in a new way.For example, a virtual concierge and a digital wayfinding system are planned from the outset. This will offer tenants in the retail, catering and conference sectors in particular completely new ways of interacting with their customers.
Digitization brings competitive advantage for The Circle tenants
The partnership will offer potential and existing tenants significant added value as well as a clear competitive advantage. The Circle will enable tenants to position themselves in the market with creative concepts and attract new customers.New workplace concepts and flexible forms of collaboration, supported by digital solutions, will also help tenants to make optimum use of their office space and adapt it to the changing needs of the organization.Furthermore, innovative control and operating concepts will enhance the quality in and around the buildings. As a result, The Circle can be operated more efficiently, which will have a positive impact on costs.
