Switching core operational software (even if it's just Google Sheets) is a major source of anxiety for any coworking business. The fear of data loss, team disruption, and a steep learning curve can be paralyzing. But what if the transition was the easiest part? We were humbled to hear this perspective from Dr. Abdulrahman Al Saati of Zawiya 97, a leading makerspace in Jeddah. In his own words, he describes the feeling before and after the change. The key takeaway wasn't just about becoming "much faster"—it was that the support they received made the migration feel seamless. When the team and the community both love the result, it's a clear sign that the change was worth it. This is a powerful reminder that the human support behind a platform is just as important as the technology itself. For any shared workspace operator considering a change of the core software, what's your biggest concern?
