If you need a high-tech system to determine how efficiently office space is being used—a system that can scan an employee's desktop calendar as well as cameras in the elevators and sensors elsewhere in a building that track people's movements—Lendlease Digital and Google Cloud have partnered to create such an offering. 

Lendlease Digital, a unit of Sydney, Australia-based global real estate company Lendlease, is leveraging Google Cloud to create Podium Property Insights (PPI), a proptech platform designed to help workplace managers and building owners optimize the use of space in buildings in the new era of hybrid work patterns.

Accenture and Lendlease have a strategic partnership to develop PPI and scale the platform to the market. Launched this week, PPI now is operating in pilot programs in select buildings around the world.
