The story

Building a smart, secure, future-ready workplace for Asahi Beverages

At Asahi Beverages, creating a new Asia-Pacific headquarters was an opportunity to deliver more than a modern workspace. In partnership with Data#3 and Cisco, Asahi set out to build a smart, secure, and fully wireless environment that would support collaboration, simplify operations, and provide an exceptional experience for employees and visitors alike. Through the deployment of a secure, identity-based network architecture, Wi-Fi 7 connectivity, and Cisco Spaces technology, the organisation established a scalable foundation for future growth and innovation.

By combining advanced networking, intelligent workplace capabilities, and centralised management, Asahi has enhanced network security, reduced operational complexity, and created a seamless digital experience across its flagship headquarters. Features such as mobile wayfinding, meeting room navigation, real-time environmental insights, and workspace management contribute to a more connected and productive workplace.

In this story, discover how Asahi Beverages transformed its headquarters into a future-ready workplace, leveraging innovative technology and a strong partnership with Data#3 and Cisco to support its people, strengthen security, and establish a blueprint for ongoing network modernisation across the business.

We wanted to provide a future-looking network and a workplace where technology simply works. It had to be seamless, intuitive and almost invisible.

Software-Defined Acess

Reducing risk and strengthening network security with Cisco SDA

Sometimes the greatest risk comes from a trusted user connecting a device that unknowingly carries malware.

In this short video, Asahi Beverages explains how Cisco Software-Defined Access (SDA) helps protect its network by reducing the risk of accidental malware outbreaks and providing greater control over who and what connects to the environment.

 

Watch how Asahi is using modern networking to strengthen security and support a safer workplace.

Software Defined Access helps us make our security posture significantly stronger while minimising disruption for our users.

Integration Centre

Technology that arrives on-site, ready to go.

When Asahi Beverages set out to build its new workplace environment, preparation was critical.

In this video, Asahi explains how Data#3’s Integration Centre enabled technology infrastructure to be staged, configured, and tested before deployment. This approach reduced the challenges of working within an active construction environment while helping ensure equipment was installed efficiently and as designed

The outcome was a smoother implementation process, improved project efficiency, and greater confidence that the workplace technology foundation would be ready from day one.

Data#3 helped us work through the designs, the layout of the building and overlay the technology solutions we needed to create a modern workplace.

Future-ready workplace

Asahi Beverages turns workplace vision into reality.

In this short customer story, Asahi shares how it partnered with Data#3 to create a modern, technology-savvy workplace designed around the needs of employees, customers, and the future of work.

By collaborating early in the design process, Asahi and Data#3 were able to map technology solutions across the workplace, ensuring the building was equipped to support connectivity, collaboration, and innovation from the moment employees walked through the door.

The result is a workplace designed to support collaboration, innovation, and future growth through a strategically planned technology foundation.
