How Passkey Technology Created Private Workspaces in an Open Office

The Project   

Passkey Technology  

The Challenge  

Create private, individual workspaces within an open office layout without permanent construction. 

The Need  

• Individual work areas with more privacy 

• Noise reduction for better focus 

• Fast, easy installation 

• A clean, professional look 

The Solution   

Hush Panel Cubicles 

When your team is responsible for keeping other businesses connected, protected, and supported, focus is not a nice-to-have. It is part of the job. 

For Passkey Technology, an IT service provider and cybersecurity firm, the open office layout supported collaboration, but it also created challenges for privacy and individual focus. With employees working side by side on consulting, security, disaster recovery, and other important client services, noise and visual distractions made focused work more difficult.  

“We like the open floor plan, but we also need to have that privacy and the ability to not have that overlap of talking,” said Brett Erickson, owner and CEO of Passkey. “We thought about getting white noise and we haven't needed it.” 

Versare helped Passkey transform their space with Hush Panel Cubicles, creating a cleaner, quieter, more functional office layout without permanent construction. In the video below, Erickson shares what prompted the project, what the team needed, and how the solution has improved the office.

Why It Worked

Hush Panel Cubicles addressed Passkey’s biggest workspace needs at once:

Privacy Without Permanent Construction 

Hush Panel Cubicles helped create defined work areas without requiring a major renovation. For Passkey, this meant the team could improve the office layout without the time, cost, or disruption of traditional construction. 

Sound-Softening Benefits for Better Focus

In a shared office, everyday noise can add up quickly. The acoustic properties help soften workplace noise, making the space feel calmer and more comfortable for focused work.

Easy Installation

The solution was easy to install, allowing Passkey to create individual workspaces quickly and efficiently. 

A Clean, Professional Look 

Beyond function, the finished space needed to look polished. Hush Panel Cubicles created a more organized, intentional layout that fits the look and feel of a modern office. 

Build Better Workspaces with Versare 

For Passkey, the project started with a common open-office problem: how to create privacy and reduce distractions without giving up the flexibility of the space. It ended with a solution the team felt confident in from the first conversation through the final installation.  

“I would strongly recommend Versare—the sales, the quality of the products, the installation, the look,” said Erickson. “We're very, very happy.”
