The document management arm of the contractor Mitie is re-branding; and re-named Mitie Connect.
Mitie Connect says it’s focused on embedding innovation into established businesses. Recent work includes the bringing in of Hybrid Mail into the second largest local authority in the UK, and new mail tracking technology into numerous clients.
Emerging technologies, including AI are applications that will become more ubiquitous within business, and can be applied in the facilities management (FM) space, the firm says. While there will be a strong focus on digitisation, traditional document management services will remain available to all clients.
Paul Foster, Principal Technology Evangelist, Microsoft, said: “Artificial Intelligence (AI) will soon become business as usual. We will use natural conversation to interact with AI services, to improve our day to day existence by making things easier and more efficient. AI services are the next generation of tools that enable, not replace us.”
James Gilding, Managing Director, Mitie Connect said: “The connected world offers a huge amount of opportunity for us to evolve the delivery of our services and truly enhance the benefits to our clients. We are looking forward to delivering innovative document management solutions to our clients and teams. This event has been a turning point for our business and we are all dedicated to making Mitie Connect the chosen partner for any business looking to innovate their document management.”
Details of the service were given to an audience from TBS Mobility, Microsoft, Vodafone and Samsung. The event included a demonstration of how AI, sensors and wearables can support humans in the workplace.
