Case Study: Wüstenrot & Württembergische AG boosts digital collaboration with Microsoft Surface Hub and Skype for Business

How Wüstenrot & Württembergische Group (W&W) is preparing for working in the digital world

Wüstenrot & Württembergische AG (W&W), a large German insurance company, faced the challenge of preparing for the future of digital work. As they constructed a new campus to house 4,000 employees and embraced trends like remote work, they needed a technology solution that would foster spontaneous, creative cooperation and seamlessly integrate colleagues working from home offices. They turned to Microsoft Corporation, requiring a device that supported their existing Skype for Business software to unify communications.

The solution was the implementation of Microsoft's Surface Hub, a collaborative conference system and digital whiteboard. The devices, which integrated perfectly with Microsoft's infrastructure, enabled efficient, interactive meetings without media breaks and allowed remote participants to feel fully involved. The company deployed ten Surface Hubs, leading to more effective 15-minute stand-up meetings and supporting the company's overall transformation into new, more agile ways of working.
