The axiom “timing is everything” could not have proven more ironic or perhaps fate-filled for the innovative office space management tool, Maptician. The platform, initially envisioned as a sophisticated method for law firms and businesses to better manage their offices, happened to launch in 2019, right on the precipice of a worldwide pandemic that would all but abandon offices to turn into what can only be described as downtown spectres of their former selves.
The firm, however, showed an impressive degree of adaptability, according to its CEO, Alaa Pasha. Against the backdrop of the extraordinary new world of hybrid office work, Maptician expanded its platform to help law firms navigate a ‘return to work’ scenario. The platform’s evolution hasn’t stopped there; it continues to grow, transforming into an all-in-one solution for meeting in-office needs and assisting firms in optimising and planning their utilisation of office space.
Pasha, who was recently featured as a guest on the LawNext podcast, asserted that Maptician’s true focus is not simply on office spaces, but rather the people working within them. More specifically, the company is devoted to aiding law firms and businesses in understanding how to modify and plan their office spaces to better serve and satisfy their employees both in the present and future contexts.
The interesting backstory of Maptician’s evolution came to light in an unplanned podcast recording that took place during the Legalweek conference in January. Set to meet Pasha for a briefing, the CEO’s visit to Maptician’s booth resulted in an impromptu podcast session, courtesy of the company’s publicist. Maptician gave its consent to share the conversation with the public via podcast, illuminating its trajetory. To hear the full conversation, head to the LawNext podcast here.
The world will continue adapting to ‘the new normal’, which is likely to involve increasingly hybridised work environments. As law firms and businesses navigate these uncharted territories, Maptician’s suite of office management tools and its adaptive ethos are poised to play a critical role in shaping future workplaces to successfully meet the dynamic needs of their employees.
