Austin, Texas Nov 17, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - https://www.sentryinteractive.com/: Transforming workplaces into efficient, secure, and connected environments with smart, scalable cloud access and visitor experience technology.

Sentry Interactive, The modern workplace has changed and a significant paradigm shift is underway for both occupiers and owners. U.S. office vacancy is at a 30-year high of 18.2% in Q2 and workers are in the office 30% less days than they were pre-pandemic. So it is imperative that a seamless, connected workplace experience is required to drive engagement, retention and occupancy.
