For business centres and flexible offices, good WiFi is not an extra. It is the product.

Anyone who books a flex desk, an office unit or a meeting room expects everything to work straight away. Logging in, video calls, a presentation on the screen. If it does not work, you hear about it immediately. And you often read about it in an online review too.

The IT-Label shows independently what your location offers digitally. You can use that in your marketing and in conversations with large clients. Do you have several locations? Then you compare them on the same scale and see where to invest first. Do you lease the building from an owner yourself? Then the IT Demarcation List records who arranges what.

Tip: read how to use the IT-Label in your brochures and adverts.

What matters in a business centre

A business centre, flexible office or coworking space asks more of the digital infrastructure than a regular office with one tenant:

Topic	What to look for
Many users, changing occupancy	WiFi with enough capacity for a full floor, a busy meeting room and an event at the same time. Not just coverage, but capacity.
A separate network for each client	Clients do not want to share a network with their neighbours. Each client needs its own shielded network, set up quickly when someone moves in.
Guests and events	A guest network that is easy to use and properly separated from the clients' networks and the building systems.
Meeting rooms	A stable connection for video calls, and screens and conference systems that simply work.
Reliability	An outage affects all your clients at once. A second connection and network monitoring help you spot and fix problems before clients notice.
Smart access and booking	Access by app or pass, room booking and occupancy sensors. Convenient for clients, but only secure on a well-designed network.

What the IT-Label gives an operator

• A claim you can back up. Almost every business centre promises "fast WiFi". With an IT-Label, an independent party has measured it. That makes the difference in your marketing and on your website.
• Comparable locations. Do you have several locations? One scale from IT1+ to IT5 shows where each location stands and where investment pays off most.
• Clear agreements with the owner. Many operators lease the building themselves. The IT Demarcation List records what the owner provides and what you arrange.
• An answer for large clients. Larger organisations increasingly set requirements for the network and security. Read more on IT and regulation.
• Targeted improvements. A score per component shows exactly where the gains are, from network segmentation to redundancy.

The usual first step: IT-Label audit. The official assessment. We measure on site and you receive a certificate that is valid for two years.
