Wisconsin Center District Turns IT Department Into a Profit Center
Published: March 16, 2022
The Wisconsin Center District is a convention, meeting, and event space in Milwaukee that has three diverse facility types including an exhibit hall, a sports arena, and a theatre. In order to remain competitive within their industry, the WCD looked into ways that technology could help them differentiate themselves from other venues.
Challenges
- A strong network infrastructure that will enable the venue to differentiate itself from competitors
- A connection that reaches throughout the three unique venues within the WCD
- The ability to track clients as they move throughout the building to provide stronger insights to enhance all visitor’s experiences
