Vinay Kantak, CIO & VP of Platform Services states, “We call ourselves the enterprise-grade and enterprise-ready coworking provider. It’s not just a description of the customers we serve, but the kind of services we provide. Our customers see us as an extension of their business footprint, and an integral part of their workplace strategy and execution. We thereby take pride in differentiating ourselves from the market.” “Without good internet services and Wi-Fi there is no coworking” CHALLENGES Serendipity Labs’ team has deep experience in technology development, enterprise applications, and infrastructure deployments. With this background, there was a natural temptation for Serendipity Labs to build all the software and systems they needed to support their business strategy and serve their brand requirements. “After having gone through a deliberate exercise of business requirements and the cost-of-ownership analysis we came to the conclusion – and I think a wise one – that we didn’t want to build all of the technology, we wanted to acquire and integrate it“. Vinay also saw the advantage of integrating a set of best-of-breed technologies to develop a streamlined operational platform that supports their business model, rather than owning technology for technology’s sake. With that in mind, Serendipity Labs set out to finding the most credible technology partners to assemble their operational platform. THE SOLUTION Infrastructure management was one of the key components for Serendipity Labs during the decision-making process. “Without good internet service and Wi-Fi there is no coworking. You can build upscale physical facilities, have the best furniture and design, but if the Wi-Fi breaks or the internet doesn’t work, members leave.” With this in mind, Serendipity Labs’ Platform Services team set out to find the most comprehensive infrastructure management technology on the market. There were three essential criteria: Company approach and vision The product and the service i.e., features, functions, architecture, and the roadmap Most importantly, the quality of the team “When approaching our enterprise customers, the scale, architecture, design, and especially it’s integration into Serendipity Labs’ service delivery platform, helps us provide the comfort and assurance our customers need that what we provide them is truly the enterprise-class infrastructure services. essensys is at the heart of that offering.” Serendipity Labs decided to partner with essensys as the leader in infrastructure management services for the flexible workspace market.

Network provisioning is the key, without that there’s no coworking.” From conceptualization and design to implementation and provisioning is what makes Connect a comprehensive service. Connect is compliant with the industry standards, enables hands-free provisioning, and is simple to use for both end users and staff. “When approaching our enterprise customers, the scale, architecture, design, and especially it’s integration into Serendipity Labs’ service delivery platform, helps us provide the comfort and assurance our customers need that what we provide them is truly the enterprise-class infrastructure services. essensys is at the heart of that offering.” Share this London Aldgate Tower 2 Leman Street London E1 8FA New York Nelson Tower 450 7th Avenue New York 10123 Los Angeles 2450 Colorado Av Santa Monica California 90404 Hong Kong PCCW Tower 36th Floor 979 King’s Road Hong Kong essensys plc is a public limited company registered in England and Wales.
