Looking for a curve upwards and through the 200 SMA with heavy volume on surprise news this week all imo
This is key and a big reason I keep buying on the dips when some of these bios are between catalysts. Do your dd of course, but I'll be chomping.
"While there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, the Company does not currently intend to seek to satisfy this requirement with a reverse stock split. As a result, the Company is not seeking approval for a reverse stock split in connection with this year’s 2021 annual stockholder meeting. Management feels optimistic regarding its prospects and intends to pursue available options for curing the bid price deficiency organically."
Hoping for a Trump spac level catalyst, maybe ties to US infrastructure bill?
Chart in prime position just need that unexpected tweet or push from a big player like phu# got, who is going to step up to the plate for inpx?
Added back in. .87's. Still thinking the gap might fill closer to .80 though.
I'll add there too if it does.
No one can doubt that inpx has established itself as the credible, go-to company for indoor intelligence solutions, the only question was when would they turn a profit,‘creating a substantial SP increase, looks like inpx is finally there, all imo
Very interesting indeed!

Crrrrrrack. Many seem to be wagering on a delisting letter. Still a couple trading weeks away officially and then a few weeks for it to be presented.
As for the technical side I put it on early radar for a pinch. Though they'd need a catalyst to make it happen. Predecessors before me call this extreme risk. A few $K to see how it works out??? It's already broken every support level I've set.

Maybe some are anxious about the plan to increase the authorized shares. Not sure why they'd want to jump so high. Maybe to alleviate having to do it so many times, like once a year? Anyway, it's just a number and whenever they do a raise, the structure needs to be there to allow it.
It's all about how they use it.
I like their technology and watching to see if one of the major techs catches on. Now that would be worth sticking around for. But to each their own on the risk Vs. Reward.
Anyway, the technical side seems to be setting up. Need a solid bottom though.

How technology is enabling the new hybrid workspace
https://www.hpe.com/us/en/insights/articles/how-technology-is-enabling-the-new-hybrid-workspace-2109.html
It's not just WFH; the pandemic has changed the way we approach our office spaces
Like thousands of companies in the early days of the global pandemic, Unisys was forced to dramatically shift how it conducts business with little time to prepare.
But over the course of a week, the Blue Bell, Pennsylvania-based technology firm enabled 95 percent of its 17,000 employees to work remotely. Over the next three months, it canceled $31 million worth of commercial leases. And to make this new operating model work, Unisys also had to rethink its entire organizational structure, says Eric Hutto, president and chief operating officer of the $2 billion company.
"We had to get simpler," he says. "I couldn't continue to spend 19 hours on Zoom calls and still run the company. We needed 12 people on a call to make a decision, not 70. We realized pretty quickly that our old operating model would not work in a remote-first world."
While Unisys will continue to maintain office space after the pandemic subsides, Hutto says, it'll be using less of it and in different ways—primarily for collaboration between in-person and remote teams.
"We're not mandating that everyone go back into the office," he says. "We're more focused on figuring out how to make our remote environment work better."
Unisys is hardly alone. An April 2021 survey by IDC found that 23 percent of companies plan to allow employees to work primarily from home or other remote locations in 2022, up from 3 percent before the pandemic. The biggest reasons: to ensure employee safety (62 percent), enable a better employee experience (61 percent), and maintain high productivity (52 percent).
In the IDC survey, more than three quarters of both business leaders and employees said remote workers are at least as productive as their in-office colleagues.
For people whose professions offer the flexibility to operate from anywhere, hybrid work is here to stay. But the new workplace won't look much like the old one, and it will require a range of emerging technologies—from IoT-enabled smart buildings to AI-based video monitoring—to make it a reality.
"The buzzword du jour is digital parity. The key to achieving that is to look beyond the technical requirements of communication and collaboration and build a parity of experience for all employees, regardless of physical location."
Not your dad's office building
At 77 West Wacker, a gleaming 50-story tower in the heart of the Chicago Loop, tenants use their phones to badge in, summon an elevator, enter bathrooms, reserve building amenities, check indoor air quality, and alert management when there's an issue that requires attention.
The pandemic brought a renewed focus on building health and safety, says Myrna Coronado-Brookover, senior vice president of asset services at Transwestern, which manages commercial buildings in 33 cities across the U.S. So in October 2020, it introduced TranswesternHub, a mobile app for touchless building operations.
"Transparency is key," says Coronado-Brookover. "People want to know whether it's safe to come back to the office. And the most efficient way to do this is through technology."
But many employees may go in only a few days a week or month, for meetings or projects where they need to collaborate with colleagues. That means office floor plans will change, with more shared spaces and fewer individual offices.
So-called hot desking will become the norm for some companies, says Juliana Beauvais, research manager for enterprise applications at IDC. Employees who plan to go into the office may sign into a workspace scheduling app like Condeco or SpaceIQ the night before, then be assigned a desk based on what they're doing or who they're working with that day. Or they may be told there isn't any room, due to capacity limits.
"Employees are going to be more like visitors in their own office," says Beauvais. "They'll be there less frequently and will be using a wider variety of spaces, which means there will be a lot more people who don't know where they're going."
Indoor analytics show the way
When employees do show up, they'll need to know where they're working that day. They might check in with a digital receptionist that shows them directions to their workspace, or they'll use a way-finding app like Steerpath or CXApp to guide them along an optimal route, minimizing contact with other employees.
By communicating with Bluetooth beacons installed every 20 feet within an office, CXApp can offer turn-by-turn directions, much like an indoor version of Google Maps, says CXApp founder Leon Papkoff, whose company was recently acquired by Inpixon.
After COVID, indoor location services went from being a nice-to-have to a must-have, says Papkoff, especially for organizations that hired people during the pandemic who have yet to set foot on their new employer's campus. Inpixon's technology is also being used in conjunction with the analytics and location engines found in enterprise-class wireless access points, such as Aruba's.
The same technology can be used for contact tracing if employees come in contact with an infected person or a contaminated space, adds Papkoff. And it can collect analytics about which spaces within a building are being used, as well as how many people are there each day—essential information for organizations hoping to right-size their commercial real estate investments.
Figuring out the amount of space a business needs for its employees used to be relatively straightforward, says Beauvais. Take your projected headcount, multiply that by the amount of square footage each person requires, and then lease that amount of space. Not anymore.
"Most companies don't have a clue how much real estate they will need for people to do their work," she says. "Today, they're taking time to instrument their facilities, aggregate the data, and make real estate decisions once we reach a steady state, which could be five to seven years down the road."
Lin Nease, HPE Fellow and IoT chief technologist, points out that vendors also have to rethink the way they focus on customers, noting that these workplace changes have impacted more than just the IT departments. "You only get so many opportunities to get HR, real estate, and IT in the same room," he says, adding that it's important to make sure all the bases are covered.
"As a result of so many customers rethinking their workplace strategies, we had to come up with a common advisory tool—our workplace transformation workshop—to better structure these conversations and make sure we didn't miss anything," Nease says. When technology partners are an integral part of an organization's operations, it only makes sense to be on the same page.
When the chickens come home to roost
Now that people have had more than a year of working from home, it's become harder for companies to lure people back to the office full time, notes Mark Campbell, chief innovation officer at Evotek, a digital business implementer.
"They like the 58-second commute and the ability to drink their own coffee," he says. "Many people will choose to be with a mediocre company that lets them work remotely versus an awesome company that forces them to go into an office. It's going to be difficult to put that genie back in the bottle."
Before the pandemic, Evotek was about to lease a new office in Denver, Campbell adds. Now, its Colorado employees are full-time remote, with temporary space available when in-person meetings are required.
After scrambling to get everyone set up on video conferencing and VPNs when the lockdown began, enterprises are trying to ensure that remote employees have access to the same technological resources as their office colleagues.
"The buzzword du jour is digital parity," notes Amy Loomis, research director for Future of Work at IDC. "The key to achieving that is to look beyond the technical requirements of communication and collaboration and build a parity of experience for all employees, regardless of physical location."
For example, AI-enabled cameras that automatically identify who's in the room can make at-home employees feel authentically connected with office colleagues, she adds. Employee experience platforms like Microsoft Viva can also level the playing field between remote and on-site workers.
Evotek has outfitted its employee home workstations with dual flat-screen monitors, high-quality AV equipment, and sophisticated bidirectional noise cancellation technology that automatically mutes the sound of a crying baby or a barking dog, Campbell says.
"Some of our international customers have chickens crowing in the background," he says. "This emerging technology uses AI to remove the background noise—chickens and all."
The harder part is ensuring security when the network perimeter is somebody's spare bedroom, Campbell notes. Old-school virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) technology, and its cloud-based equivalent desktop as a service (DaaS), are being deployed by organizations that are fearful of letting sensitive or proprietary data loose in the wild.
Because VDI and DaaS send only screen grabs to remote computers, the data itself never leaves the organization, making it less likely to be leaked, lost, or stolen.
Please read: Why virtual desktops are (mostly) more secure than personal computers
Using the technology in combination with Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) platforms, cloud-based cybersecurity suites that put protections closer to end users can alleviate most major security concerns, Campbell adds.

Empower your team
The AI is watching
But financial services companies and other organizations that must meet regulatory requirements may need more advanced solutions for remote workers. For example, Theta Lake integrates with leading collaboration platforms and filters video, audio, chat, and documents as they are being shared, flagging potential compliance and security violations for later review.
Theta Lake uses AI to identify problematic content—such as personally identifiable information displayed in a spreadsheet, derogatory or sexist language in an online chat, or a Confederate flag in the background of a Zoom call—and send it to the compliance team for remediation.
With thousands of video meetings happening each day, large enterprises don't have the resources to monitor every interaction for policy violations, notes Dan Nadir, chief product officer at Theta Lake. He adds that interest in his firm's monitoring technology has accelerated significantly during the pandemic.
Today, the technology can flag violations only after they've occurred. In the future, it should be able to detect and address them in real time.
"The ability to kick someone out of a meeting, turn off their camera, or start recording if someone says something they shouldn't is not quite supported by the platforms yet," he adds. "But that's definitely coming down the road, and it's something companies want to see."
Remote work without FOMO
But parity also means having access to the same conversations and opportunities for advancement, whether an employee is in the corporate headquarters, working from a small home office, or logging in from a cabin in Montana.
If people fear they're missing out by working remotely, hybrid work schemes won't endure for long, Hutto says. So, in addition to adopting new technology, organizations may also need to adjust their corporate culture.
"You can't have conversations over Zoom with colleagues and then have different conversations with people in the office where great ideas come up," he says. "You've got to capture that and get that information to the people who just hung up, so they're not at a disadvantage. If we don't do that, people won't trust the system."
Ultimately, we will need to redefine "the office" as wherever work happens, regardless of its actual location.
"The office of the future is Starbucks. It's the beach. It's the bar in the country club where the CEO is sitting with her laptop after she's played a round of golf," says Hutto. "We need to be able to enable that and become comfortable with it."

Chirp, Bluetooth Low Energy and Ultra-Wideband – What's Right For You?
https://www.inpixon.com/blog/chirp-uwb-ble-location-tracking-techniques
Due to the availability of multiple technologies in the Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) space, such as Chirp, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and Ultra-Wideband (UWB), finding the most relevant solution for your organization can be a challenge. To help overcome this obstacle, we’re breaking down what makes each type of technology unique and how you can determine which is the right fit for your company’s needs.
What is Chirp?
Chirp Spread Spectrum is a radio frequency (RF) signal that increases or decreases the frequency overtime, making it a useful way to measure the distance or location of people and objects over large distances. It utilizes Time of Flight (ToF) estimation in order to precisely measure distance or utilizes Time of Arrival (ToA) with Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA) to calculate and communicate the location of both static and moving targets, such as assets, inventory, people and vehicles.
Key benefits of using Chirp include:
Location accuracy of 1-2m
Indoor and outdoor support
Long-range accessibility up to 1000m
Near real-time positioning
Protection against radio frequency interference
Inpixon’s unique application of 2.4GHz chirp-enabled RF technology allows companies to track critical assets throughout large facilities and distances, making them easier to manage and secure.
What is BLE?
Bluetooth Low Energy or BLE, is another radio frequency technology for wireless communication that can be leveraged to detect and track the location of people, devices and assets in indoor settings. BLE was specifically created to consume very low power, significantly less than that of Bluetooth Classic versions and other RF standards. BLE integrates easily with smartphones and other wireless devices including wearables and is compatible with battery powered BLE beacons, making it cost-effective and versatile to use.
Key benefits of BLE include:
Location accuracy within 5m
Lower power and low cost
Easy to deploy
Extensible technology
Inpixon offers multiple use cases for BLE, including asset tracking, indoor navigation, proximity services, and more.
What is UWB?
Ultra-wideband, or UWB, is a short-range RF technology for wireless communication that can be leveraged to detect the location of people, devices, and assets with high precision. Like other communication protocols including Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, UWB can be used to transmit data between devices through radio waves. Its accuracy comes from its ability to send short nanosecond pulses over an “ultra-wide” range of frequencies.
While most ideal for smaller ranges, the location of UWB signals can be determined within 50 centimeters, in optimal conditions and deployment, and extremely low latency. UWB’s ability to locate targets using time-of-flight (ToF) and quick nanosecond pulses with limited interference with other RF transmissions, allows for precise indoor positioning with near real-time results that also track device movements. Across short-ranges, UWB can deliver highly accurate, quick and secure communications, with minimal interference.
Key benefits of UWB include:
Location accuracy within 50cm
Greater precision accuracy
Real-time positioning
Reliable and secure
UWB versus BLE
UWB and BLE are often used for similar use cases involving greater precision and indoor settings. However, there are key differences between them making each better-suited for different applications.
UWB technology typically delivers greater accuracy than BLE devices. This is in large part due to UWB’s distance-based method to determine location via its ToF monitoring. BLE positioning technology typically locates devices via RSSI, which yields a lower level of accuracy based on whether a device is transmitting a strong or weak signal relative to its position. BLE also has a much shorter range and data rate than UWB and is more prone to signal interference.
However, a key advantage of BLE is that it has a large tech ecosystem, making it a popular option for many use cases. It is used in many of today’s wireless devices and remains a top choice for locationing, offering an extensive set of flexible hardware options that can easily be implemented, such as BLE beacons.
Here is a table that summarizes the key features of BLE and UWB devices.
How Inpixon Can Help
Whether it’s Chirp, BLE or UWB, Inpixon offers you the ability to utilize these technologies to deliver what your company needs. With Inpixon’s RTLS offerings, you can build an end-to-end solution that allows you to track the location of personnel, assets, devices and more and gain intelligence on how to make your operations smarter. From our proprietary RTLS chips, device-ready modules and specialized tags to industrial-grade RTLS anchors and powerful nanoLES Location Engine, Inpixon has everything you need to harness the power of Chirp, BLE and UWB to optimize your processes.
Nice. Every bit of visibility helps. Watching the technical side set up slowly but surly to start accumulating for the push back up.

What Does Hosting a ‘Hybrid Event’ Really Mean?
https://www.inpixon.com/blog/what-does-hosting-a-hybrid-event-really-mean
Virtual experiences are not going away anytime soon, and that’s true for upcoming and future events, as well. But for those who are ready to get back to in-person, face-to-face events, the good news is that event organizations and corporate event programs are moving forward.
In-person events are coming back, and while they may not be as big or flashy as they once were, in the short term, they still follow the same formula, prioritizing experience-driven opportunities. The goal, as always, is to help connect people with brands, help them learn, and facilitate networking between various professionals and contacts. Event professionals are looking for equitable experiences, yes, but they also want to engage closely with their peers and other professionals.
It doesn’t matter whether you’re talking about event tech on-site, or a virtual event platform for remote attendees, both solutions offer a foundation for the necessary interactions and experiences that are going to play out.
But there’s also been a lot of talk about hybrid experiences, as opposed to an exclusive event that’s all in-person, or all virtual. What’s the difference? What does the term “hybrid event” actually mean?
Components of A Hybrid Event
Meeting Planner’s International (MPI) describes a hybrid event as a “meeting or event with at least one group of in-person participants connecting with remote participants in one or more other locations.”
In other words, it’s a merger between virtual participants, who are connecting remotely, and on-site participants, who are spending time at the event venue.
“Hybrid is the breakout star of the meeting industry, an emerging event type that requires meeting professionals to stretch their creativity, strategizing, execution and measurement and integrate technology with traditional live events to create new types of experiences and content delivery tools. Nowhere in the history of meetings have we seen such an explosion of so many different formats and applications of new technology.” - Meeting Planner’s International
The distinction between more traditional in-person events, and exclusively virtual events, should be made, to help understand how hybrid events play out. Hybrid events are driven by 3 major event journeys:
Virtual Event Touchpoints
Virtual event platforms are geared towards remote audiences, specifically, who are participating either live or on-demand throughout the scope of an event. It also means they don’t necessarily have to tune in at a specified time. There are systems in place to record and share content so it can be accessed later.
The prime experiences must include easy access, great viewing qualities — such as high-resolution video formats — a reliable connection, live networking opportunities, valuable content, and exceptional virtual programming.
In-Person Event Touchpoints
Until recently, in-person experiences leveraged mobile event apps to manage the end-to-end attendee experiences during major events. From the initial planning and ticket purchase, with access to suggested logistics and hoteling data, to on-the-go resources at the actual event, like session info, key locations, networking details, and more.
The prime experiences must include easy access, reliable up-times, and more. They must also include contextual offerings based on who you are, where you are, and what you like. That’s usually delivered through intuitive recommendations, with wayfinding and other in-app value additions that vastly improve the on-site presentation.
Mixed Hybrid Event Touchpoints
Now, event attendees can choose to attend events live, participate remotely, or experience a healthy combination of both options. For example, attendees can travel to the tradeshow location but opt to watch the keynote remotely from their hotel room. This allows them to avoid large crowds during the initial phases. However, they can attend smaller breakout sessions live, while on-site, to get the best of both worlds.
The prime experiences must include easy access, simple and seamless transitions between experiences, value-added offers for the method they choose, and consistency between channels and devices.
liveVirtualEvents
Why Is A Hybrid Event Strategy A Necessity?
Hybrid takes the best of both scenarios — in-person and virtual — and merges them to create a single, seamless platform for all attendees, regardless of where they are located. It’s also one of the most complicated setups for event managers and corporate event planning teams, albeit made easier with technology.
Above all, a hybrid event keeps everyone connected. So, virtual participants can engage and interact with on-site participants and vendors, with almost no distinction between them. This is achieved with the support of modern technologies.
The attendee experience is, shall we say, nearly flawless.
The Longevity of Hybrid Event Programs
An overwhelming 73% of event planners expect hybrid events to be more common in the future. Suffice it to say, yes, hybrid events are going to stick around, and for a while. Here’s why:
They allow attendees more choice.
They’re flexible.
They accommodate both individual and group-related needs.
May become the norm for the next 2 to 5 years.
Most importantly, the same hybrid workplace scenarios that we’ve grown accustomed to will be implemented in other areas — like live events. As professionals, we now have the option to choose how and when we show up to functions as a core business opportunity. Those same principles will apply to many other experiences from here on out.
How To Evaluate and Choose Technology to Support Hybrid Events
This quick step-by-step guide will walk you through evaluating, choosing, and briefly implementing the technologies necessary to support a hybrid event.
Evaluate opportunities for engagement. Consider each use case and how the technologies, or systems, would allow for cross-user engagement and vendor-based interactions. How can the event app make it better or facilitate a dynamic interaction?
Ensure the branding and theme are consistent. The visual representation of the platform, whether on mobile or desktop, should match the company’s core values and message. That includes support for brand-specific colors and themes, logos, and other representations.
Look for omni-device portals. What you do in one environment should be reflected in the other. For example, if you vote “yes” to attend an on-site presentation, you should be able to find your reservation in the on-site, digital directory too, and vice versa.
Allow for evergreen content and ongoing experiences post-event. This helps boost the community, and collaboration, and also keeps any offerings you deliver at the top of everyone’s mind. They stay tuned in even long after the event has concluded.
Stay away from extraneous downloads or third-party software. One, cohesive platform should be the goal, not several fragmented portals or experiences that increase the challenge for attendees.
Look for additional features and capabilities beyond the basics. Some of the more obvious inclusions are live-streaming, instant chat, and networking opportunities. What else should be included? Should there be gamification support? Are there places to explore content, connect with vendors, and share experiences?
Achieving Hybrid Event Continuity
Hybrid events will continue to be shaped by new technologies, as well as changing guidelines, which will impact the way we show up and interact with others. At an event, whether on-site or not, you want every opportunity to network, communicate, and experience all that particular occasion has to offer.
Connected audiences remain a high priority for all, regardless of the platform or location. Emerging technologies will play a central role in conjunction with legacy technologies or platforms and existing solutions. In other words, everything will be united under one banner.
New jobs will continue to be introduced to support unique functionalities and use cases for hybrid event management, and hybrid experiences.
The industry as a whole is forever changed and forever changing. That’s always been the case, and it remains true even today.

When this sets up, they're toast. I've been taking advantage here and there. Watching the charts here as well.
200% increase in revenue and eps heading towards breaking even/profit… and it sells off when other companies in the same exact situation skyrocket, the U.S. market is a joke.
Looks like that anchor at 1.05 is to heavy to lift.. !!
Too many companies finding out that their employees can work at home without disrupting the business thus avoiding rental and office expenses, had it under their noses before the pandemic but no one thought of it before... !!
looks like this is all being delayed the "return to work"....our government is hahahahaha concerned about our safety...does anyone here live in southern texas? Do not go outside or into town...do not go to work and probably no school...I wonder why???
Why Desk Booking Solutions Are Key to the Return to Work
https://www.inpixon.com/blog/why-desk-booking-solutions-are-key-to-the-return-to-work?
To make way for the hybrid workforce, the workplace — and the offices where we do most of our business — is now dynamic and flexible. People, processes, and expectations all must be able to pivot to match the current needs of the workday. Traditional spaces in the workplace need to be able to 'pivot' too. Desks are no longer a 1:1 ratio and many single-room offices are being transformed as a result.
Many spaces in the average workplace are not being utilized the same way as before, or they just don’t perform as well in this new structure of work. All spaces, including conference rooms, cafes, phone booths, bullpens, workstations, and more, must offer employees the flexibility they require. Virtually any type of workspace offers an on-site hub to work from.
The Workplace Experience Must Evolve
A whopping 47% of individuals, who are not being communicated to, are feeling anxious about the future. They believe there is a lack of clear vision about the post-pandemic work world, and it’s a cause of concern. Understandably, they’re worried about their health, the health of their colleagues, and also the health of their families to whom they come home at the end of the day.
There are many tendrils to this entire conundrum, as well. For example, productivity can suffer greatly as the mental health of concerned employees declines. In fact, the global economic loss because of poor mental health and anxiety may be as high as $1 trillion per year.
It’s time to fix that and create a dynamic, flexible work environment that’s safe for everyone to come and go, with minimal impact on productivity and mental health.
Reservation Systems in the Workplace
The question is how do you organize and tie all these disparate workspaces together and provide the appropriate level of communication company-wide about expectations in the workplace to address these uncertainties?
For the big return to work, employees are going to demand buildings that deliver on promises of health, safety, personalization, and accommodation, much like what they’ve been getting at home. Why go from a relatively positive experience at home to one that’s stagnant, stifling and unwelcoming at work? Especially when there are still many many health and safety concerns to contend with.
Smart Desking
Employers need to focus on flexible systems, like desk hoteling solutions, which make finding and reserving coworking spaces much easier. Employees need and deserve real-time tools to research, locate, and reserve a workspace, wherever that may be.
Smart desking solutions take corporate and office real estate and turn it on its head, creating an employee-driven on-site experience. All spaces are easily converted to a dynamic hub, with bookable opportunities. That bookability is the key to keeping a truly flexible work model.
Desk booking and office hoteling systems keep availability, occupancy, and utilization front and center for both operations and employees alike. Having insights into what spaces are currently being used or were used streamlines workplace efficiencies giving greater actionable insights to end users to make an informed decisions about coming to the office on a day by day basis and giving flexibility in choosing a space to work that best matches their needs.
Managing Spaces
A misconception is that many spaces need to be transformed physically to make these systems work. Employers are worried a large-scale remodel is in order, but that’s not the case. Existing spaces can be leveraged, and companies can really take advantage of community spaces that are already on-site, yet underutilized.
By leveraging data, particularly on how the workspaces are being used, site managers can identify lucrative areas and reconfigure them based on those usage trends. Maybe a conference room is now being used as a more intimate collaborative space, for example? Or, employees are choosing to work in the cafeteria or company break rooms?
Some examples of other reservable spaces include phone booths, common areas, cafe tables, break rooms, lobbies, board rooms, outdoor gathering zones, game tables, exercise equipment and much more.
Data from IoT and connected devices facilitate the necessary interactions and enhance efficiency with accuracy across sensors and beacons to give you a complete picture of utilization.
Environmental Controls
Employees can access touchless check-ins, experience automatic check-outs, engage with conference room relays, various sensors, and also take advantage of different types of space reservations all from one smart desking platform.
Additionally, personnel also gain insights into environmental conditions and controls. Things like lighting, temperature, views, capacity, available assets, initial setup, can all be referenced and used to make an informed decision about a space. If something isn’t available that you might need or want you can delay going into work until it is, or just work remotely instead.
A connected workplace solution can even trigger workflows — like cleaning requests to sanitize a previously used space. After a worker checks out, the workstation is taken out of inventory and flagged for cleaning. Once the surfaces have been sanitized, the space can be added to available inventory, allowing someone else to come along and reserve it. It’s a form of desk scheduling that’s intelligent, automated, and easy to use.
All companies now have an opportunity to restructure workspaces in a way that’s much more efficient.
Technology Aiding In the Back to Work Transition
When you think about employee sentiment and addressing concerns arounds coming back into densely populated areas - these are exactly the types of information and value propositions companies need to provide to their workforce to ease the transition.
Like it or not, the workplace is changing and employees want a more flexible, accommodating, and safer environment. According to the McKinsey study, 52% of workers prefer a more flexible working model post pandemic. Desk booking and office hoteling solutions make the return to work more transparent, and they’re really the only answer to an ever-dynamic workplace.
Most importantly, these technologies drive wellbeing and safety, empowering employees, by providing them insights into what, when, where, and how spaces or amenities are being used even across densely populated facilities. If you’re not comfortable with the current capacities at work, or amenities and spaces you need are not available, you can stay home. The best part is that you can research and reference all of those insights from mobile, without ever stepping foot on the property.

What does the post-pandemic workplace look like?
Post-pandemic, we are seeing an increased focus on hybrid workplace models and reliance on technology and real-time collaboration tools, with extra attention on employee comfort levels.
Most people are excited to go back into the office, but at the same time can be hesitant to do so. Many employees have adjusted to working remotely without sacrificing productivity. Pre-pandemic, the norm was for employees to physically be in the office. This was a cultural expectation, and we are now seeing a cultural shift take place.
Another aspect of the post-pandemic workplace that came up highlighted some factors employers will have to keep in mind when planning the post-pandemic workplace. These include the how, when, and most importantly, the message they send when communicating with employees. Regardless of the details, this is an initiative that needs be led from the top down.
Trends in the workplace that emerged due to COVID
Nadir notes that one of the biggest challenges for large organizations is to address the current landscape. With workers and teams being spread out, communication systems can feel disconnected, and experiences can feel fractured. We’re seeing a consolidation in the market where multiple systems and tools are coming together. Essentially, if you make that experience challenging and difficult, you won’t be successful.
Re-evaluating the employee value proposition
Employee experience refers to all the ways an employee engages with their employer and the resulting perception that the employee has about their employer. Their experience can be influenced by a variety of factors, which include:
The environment where the employee works
The tools and technologies provided to the employee
The employers’ commitment to the health, safety and success of the employee
Employers should be looking at employees as a ‘new customer.’ Companies that value the employee experience just as much as they value the customer experience, are more successful and sustainable in the long term. When employees feel that their employer is invested in them and their happiness, they are more productive and more invested in the success of the company. This can also lead to higher employee retention rates.
Leon notes that companies need to be focused on shaping and offering connected employee experiences across a distributed workforce, whether employees are on-site, in transit or working from the edge.
Key takeaways for returning to the office
The biggest takeaway from this sit-down - there needs to be a focus on flexibility. Many Fortune 500 companies are committed to supporting hybrid workforces. They have plans to roll out phased re-entry scheduled by location, building, floors, and event at the team/department level. Additionally, many organizations are even considering operating at reduced capacities for on-site workers. This leaves open spaces for more activity-driven work projects, team pods, and configurable spaces. In-person experiences will become the priority in the workplace again, but in a different way.
Many employers are also putting safety first, which can come in different forms. Physical safety includes increased spaces between people, hand sanitization, and increased cleanings around the office. Safety can also include the fact that workers can make informed decisions when it comes to how, when, and where they choose to work.
But most importantly, it’s all about laying the groundwork for a more connected workplace that is elastic and dynamic and can handle bumps and bruises along the way like we’ve seen in the past year.

Penny Stocks to Watch for August 2021

STOCK TRADING PENNY STOCK TRADING
Inpixon (INPX)
Inpixon (INPX) is a dirt-cheap penny stock that's trying with all its might to mount a turnaround … and I believe it just might be succeeding. Basically, Inpixon uses software to help make public spaces and facilities work, whether that be through making our children's schools safer, helping to enable Wi-Fi services in your local mall, or reducing crime.
The group's history is uninspiring to say the least, with a five-year revenue growth track record of -32.60%. You're wondering why Inpixon stock is trading at only $1.03 at the moment? That, plus negative net income of -$35.60 million, is precisely why.
But things have been looking a lot sunnier for Inpixon lately. The past two years have seen annual revenue grow at 68% and 48%, respectively. And the past two quarters have shown sales up 137% and 51%, respectively, before falling 23% in the most recent quarter, which may be somewhat forgivable given COVID-related pressures.
There are some other very promising financials here. Take the excellent P/B ratio of 0.70 and the P/C ratio of 1.21, as well as the surprisingly strong balance sheet with a quick ratio of 8.60 and low debt/equity ratio of 0.04. Meanwhile, earnings per share (EPS) this year are set to be 97.9%, with the gross margin at 71%.
Over the past two months, Inpixon has announced three major contract wins, with a "global social media company," a "multinational mass media and entertainment conglomerate," and an "international banking organization." These deals in particular suggest that Inpixon is gaining some really impressive momentum. Now—i.e., while the company is still trading at bargain-basement prices, and before these contract wins show up in Inpixon's earnings—may therefore be a good entry point for investors willing to assume some risk, in my view.
Yes, from who? Global domination with no names lol. Like to see an 8-K with the names.
Filings on the way as well for Q2 I think
From who...?? Still, the pps doesn't move !!!

How to Transform into a Smart Office
https://www.inpixon.com/blog/how-to-transform-into-a-smart-office?
Across industries and sectors, organizations are embracing the revolutionary capabilities made possible by the connected workplace. In our recent overview of smart offices, we introduced the concept of bringing people and physical space together in a meaningful way and discussed how these connected workplaces can benefit organizations. In this post, we are going to dive deeper into the foundational technology required to create these smart spaces and address how can you modernize your office and create more efficiencies while reimagining or adjusting your real estate footprint.
Smart offices are powered by Inpixon
What will offices look like post COVID-19?
A post-pandemic office will be purpose-driven and must be designed to serve distributed teams. Offices are no longer the place to go for independent work. When employees come to the office, it will be for a specific reason and they will need to make sure their time is well spent. The technology tools organizations provide to employees will be critical to the success of employees in this new office environment. The ability for employees to collaborate and coordinate their time at the office with others, including desk and room reservations, will matter greatly.
We are living in a time that has forced us to reconsider how we use our office space and maximize the technology around us to create more efficiencies for a hybrid workforce. We are not only rebuilding our lives, but we are also inventing new ways to work smarter and more efficiently. We are all collectively looking for more powerful ways to use technology in our offices to keep corporate culture and communication consistent across distributed teams.
From operations and processes to customers and outcomes, IoT-enabled solutions have transformed businesses from every angle and will continue to do so. The IoT ecosystem raises your office’s intelligence by integrating smart, often app-based solutions, via the Internet. This creates a host of new possibilities for improving the work environment on all levels.
The benefits of indoor mapping and mobile apps
Increasingly, organizations are turning to smart technology that can help improve the workplace experience and create a more effective and agile environment, which includes a holistic location-aware employee app.
A smart mobile workplace app should provide an open architecture so it can scale across multiple locations and integrate unique services. For example, if your New York office has a work order management system and your London office has a full-scale dining service, they both should be accessible from the same app. The ability to integrate to third-party systems ensures that you get maximum value from your entire real estate portfolio.
Inpixon’s combined solution with The CXApp brings their Smart Campus app with Inpixon’s indoor mapping and on-device positioning solutions. This joint offering gives users a complete mobile solution for workplace experience. This powerful combination equips companies with the technology, processes and tools to create smart, innovative and connected workplaces so your team can safely return to the office.
With the ability to integrate with other workplace technologies, leading organizations can leverage IoT solutions to implement location-aware use cases that remove friction and create smart, innovative, and connected workplaces. Smart buildings and intelligent indoor spaces are made possible by bringing together a variety of interactive technologies to connect all aspects of a building and the digital objects within it. Further, building technology is becoming more useful for tenants and property owners. For example, conditioned-based cleaning schedules now focus more on the utilization of the indoor space than static schedules, ultimately decreasing operational costs.
Connected workplace experience applications go far beyond showing users how to navigate from point A to B. They create an environment where location-sensing technologies, IoT devices, and other third-party data and systems are all connected through a single platform to deliver a consumer-like experience in the workplace. With location-aware technologies and dynamic indoor maps, an individual’s location can be established by their proximity to a sensor. This enhanced visibility increases the opportunity for ad-hoc collaboration, helping to make the workspace more efficient and productive.
What can a smart office do?
The pandemic has been an accelerant in forcing companies to reimagine their indoor space and manage distributed teams. Culture is still an important aspect for teams, and companies still need people working together in-person and sometimes side-by-side. For many companies, the most responsible and effective way to manage reopening is by restructuring the way conventional office spaces are used, creating a whole new ecosystem around smart offices. Some of the possible use cases that can result from creating a smart, innovative, and connected workplace include:
Hot desking
Enhanced room booking
Indoor navigation
Staff visibility
Occupancy reporting
Amenities search
Hot desking
Visitor management
Facilities management
Asset tracking
How location technology works in office environments
If you have used a service like Google Maps or Apple Maps to navigate anywhere, then you’ve experienced firsthand the power of the wayfinding technology. Inpixon provides a similar experience but for the indoor space where Global Positioning Systems (GPS) cannot reach. Location-based services include GPS, Indoor Positioning Systems (IPS), and indoor mapping platforms, as they are among the technologies that allow facilities to visualize location data and deliver location-based services.
While there is no universal standard for IPS, there are a variety of blue dot technologies (BLE, Wi-Fi, RFID, UWB, geomagnetic, ultrasound, etc.) that allow facilities to deliver location-based services. Each IPS solution has its own strengths and weaknesses, so it’s important to consult with experts on the technology that is best suited for a building’s current and projected needs.
As internet-enabled objects become more pervasive and integrated with location-based services, companies can provide employees with the kind of location-aware solutions that increase operational efficiency and productivity. With integrated IPS, employees can have a more seamless experience including the ability to quickly see the location and status of meeting rooms, book available meeting rooms or workspaces, and search for and navigate to employee desks or meeting rooms.
Gain valuable insights from analytics
Indoor analytics can transform location data into valuable insights by enabling organizations to capture, interpret, and visualize data to uncover key metrics and reports on employee or visitor behavior and movement. Organizations can gain valuable insight to help monitor and optimize campus health and usage and use it to make educated business decisions.
IoT is altering the way people interact with indoor spaces. With the ability to autonomously send and receive data, IoT-enabled devices play a pivotal role in creating smart buildings and intelligent indoor spaces. While offices will continue to be a central location for collaboration, creativity, and networking, the future of work and space management relies heavily on a smart workplace. One that creates a connected culture for smarter, automated experiences for people and the space they utilize.
Schedule a 20-minute consultation to find out how to transform your workplace experience. Our team of experts will review how to implement smart office technologies like office hoteling, hot-desking and more.
