Campbell, Calif – February 27th, 2023 – Workspot, the Cloud PC company, today announced that SORAVIA, one of the leading real estate project developers in Austria and Germany has chosen Workspot Cloud PCs to advance their mergers and acquisitions processes. With 4,210 employees, the company is using Cloud PCs to modernize their end-user computing, simplify IT operations and advance innovation in real estate development.
SORAVIA believes in a pioneering spirit, a greener future with sustainable living spaces and innovative technology solutions. SORAVIA successfully develops real estate projects fulfilling all sustainability requirements along its value chain in ecological, social and economic terms.

The Austro Tower was certified as Platinum by the Austrian Society for Sustainable Real Estate (ÖGNI) thanks to this approach. These exacting standards now serve as the benchmark for all SORAVIA projects in terms of sustainability.
Together with Nagarro, a global digital engineering leader specializing in helping enterprises with digital transformation, Workspot is deploying the Workspot Cloud PC solution on Google Cloud powered by the 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processor, bringing highly specialized data analytics, global scalability, robust security and anywhere-productivity to SORAVIA.
SORAVIA, Workspot, Google Cloud and Nagarro will focus on mergers and acquisitions modernization and digital innovation in the areas of smart buildings and investments.
Hannes Gutmeier, Head of Group IT and CIO at SORAVIA said, “In the past years, our company has experienced a significant growth in our workforce via acquisitions. Through this collaboration, we are reducing time spent from acquisition to integration by 50%. Working with Google Cloud and Workspot makes it possible for us to continue building our teams with minimal disruptions, without increasing the size of the IT department.”
