Stephen Flaim and Peter Coman to Lead New U.S.-Based People | Technology | Space Brand to Deliver Smart, Bespoke Workplace Solutions Across a Diversified Range of Market Sectors
PTS Consulting, a global provider of smart workplace strategy and technology consulting and design services, is launching a new U.S.-centric practice branded simply as PTS. Taking a holistic and interconnected view of an organization’s People, Technology and Space, PTS helps its clients embark upon a digital transformation journey in their workplaces, higher education, trading floors, command centers, and healthcare facilities. The practice will aim to help U.S. organizations elevate employee, client, patron and guest experiences, as well as deliver new levels of sustainability and efficiency to empower business growth through bespoke workplace technology design and integrated solutions. The rebranded practice will be led by Stephen Flaim, President, PTS, and Peter Coman, Head of Smart Workplace Strategy and Design, PTS.
“The decision to establish an independent PTS practice for the U.S. market, while still remaining part of the PTS global cooperative, will allow us to leverage our deep knowledge, experience and relationships in the region with the cutting-edge technology and resources of our global brand,” said Flaim. “As the smart workplace revolution continues to accelerate, we look forward to Peter and the U.S. team delivering on their diversified clients’ singular needs.”
PTS springs from a 37-year global legacy built by parent company PTS Consulting, which has completed more than 12,500 projects for 4,500 clients in 85 countries and operates from 13 office locations across nine countries. Some of world’s largest companies look to PTS for their real estate and technology needs, including Amazon, Barclays, Bloomberg, Cisco, Coca-Cola, CNN, Deloitte, Google, Microsoft and Salesforce. Flaim and Coman will look to continue to grow PTS’s assignments with Fortune 500 companies and other business innovators in areas including smart workplace technology, relocations and corporate transformations, physical and cloud infrastructure, data center and network security and IT project management.
“While the pandemic has accelerated the need for digitization, security and more complex people solutions, we are ultimately trying to look past the moment to build agile, smart workplaces for the long term,” said Coman. “While Smart workplaces typically embrace cutting edge technologies, they’re ultimately about empowering business cultures that embrace wellbeing, unlocking people’s creativity and drive sustained growth through staff engagement and retention. We work hard to understand what each business needs, taking a holistic view, analyzing how every aspect of the company’s operations fit together to create a truly bespoke, future-enabled strategy. Our designs are outcome driven, and we see our engagement as a collaboration, encouraging ‘blue sky’ thinking, so that our vision is inherently their vision, and we look forward to delivering that for innovators across the U.S.”
Flaim is a workplace strategy veteran that has served with the global PTS brand for 12 years, bridging the gap between real estate and IT to help clients across industries unlock workplace innovation. Prior to PTS, he was the Global Head of Corporate Real Estate Services for Barclays.
Coman has been a partner with PTS Consulting for six years and is an industry thought leader with more than 30 years of experience in business technology and space utilization for some of the world’s most high-profile workplace projects. He is a renowned workplace strategist with more than a dozen engineering accreditations and a regular speaker at CoreNet, BICSI, InfoComm and the Smart Building Conference in Amsterdam.
