You leave home and lock the door. Swipe your Metrocard to enter the subway. Scan your badge at the front desk, and again at the elevator. Frictionless access drives how people engage with each other and the world around them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flexible access to inspiring workspaces has always been at the core of WeWork\u2019s business. We\u2019ve worked with large companies around the world\u2014from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wework.com\/ideas\/ge-healthcare-case-study\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GE Healthcare<\/a>&nbsp;in Seoul to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wework.com\/ideas\/how-microsoft-makes-its-sales-staff-happier-with-wework\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Microsoft<\/a>&nbsp;in New York City\u2014to give their employees the flexibility to work out of any WeWork in their city, country, or world. Our on-demand memberships help organizations expand their global footprint and provide employees with unlimited access to our spaces and communities around the globe. The key to supporting our on-demand memberships is the ability to provide each member with a single global credential connecting people with space everywhere.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, we\u2019re excited to announce the next step to building a physical access platform for our global membership by welcoming Waltz to the WeWork family. With deep expertise in mobile access and system integrations, Waltz has the most advanced and sophisticated products to provide that single credential to our members and to help us better connect them with our spaces.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Waltz has developed a mobile application and reader that makes it easy for employees and guests to securely enter buildings and offices. This technology will help us provide seamless access for members across our spaces and in our locations around the world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur technology team is focused on global access control in order to provide our members with a frictionless experience from curb to office,\u201d said Shiva Rajaraman, WeWork\u2019s chief technology officer. \u201cWaltz\u2019s incredible team and technology will allow us to broaden our access capabilities, giving members and guests an enhanced experience across our global platform. We are extremely excited to welcome the Waltz team to WeWork.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Waltz was founded in 2015 by CEO Matt Kopel with employees based in New York and Montreal. Through this deal, Waltz will become completely integrated within WeWork and will continue to maintain its current customer base.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWaltz was founded with the mission to reduce friction in the physical world through a single credential to access buildings and more,\u201d said Kopel. \u201cWeWork has created a truly global platform, and we\u2019re thrilled to join with them in realizing our vision by deploying our technology solutions in the built world.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1843,"featured_media":3000006136,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"news_tag":[43929],"class_list":["post-3000006135","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.4 (Yoast SEO v25.3.1) -
