Publicis Sapient is a digital business transformation company with more than 50 offices worldwide. The company partnered with LumApps to build an innovative, new digital workspace experience that connects people with the content and knowledge they need to succeed in their jobs and helps build meaningful relationships with team members remotely. 

Engaging our people and enhancing the employee experience has become a business imperative in the wake of the pandemic. We have people around the globe who travel internationally and are working off-site from mobile devices, so it’s important as an organization that we meet them where they are to keep them informed and find ways to create human connections and knowledge-sharing opportunities. LumApps played a critical role in helping us achieve that goal by providing the foundational technology to deliver experiences to employees.
