Case Study: CBRE achieves better workplace experiences with Microsoft Corporation Azure Digital Twins

CBRE delivers better workplace experiences through Host, a comprehensive, scalable product suite, using Azure Digital Twins

CBRE, a global leader in commercial real estate services, needed to create smarter, more seamless workplace experiences while managing a massive portfolio of commercial space. Working with Microsoft Corporation and using Azure Digital Twins and Azure IoT resources, CBRE built Host—a connected workplace platform for room booking, wayfinding, concierge services, and improved building operations.

Microsoft Corporation helped CBRE accelerate development and launch the initial version of Host in just nine months. The solution delivered better space utilization, easier room booking, and simpler visitor navigation, while also giving facility managers more timely maintenance insights and investors clearer property-usage data. CBRE is now expanding Host with temperature, lighting, and mixed reality capabilities to add even more value.
