1. A workspace personalization system, comprising:
(a) a local workspace access system associated with a local workspace, and including:
(1) a badge reader configured to read badge data from a badge, and
(2) a communication interface configured to transmit the badge data over a network;
(b) a workspace personalization management system, including:
(1) data storage,
(2) a communication interface configured to receive the badge data transmitted by the local workspace access system, and
(3) a processor configured to locate, in the data storage, an organization associated with the received badge data,
(4) the communication interface of the workspace personalization management system being further configured to transmit the received badge data to the associated organization; and
(c) a server associated with the organization, and including:
(1) data storage,
(2) a communication interface configured to receive the badge data transmitted by the workspace personalization management system, and
(3) a processor configured to locate, in the data storage, a member of the organization who is associated with the received badge data, a messaging service device associated with that member, and a workspace configuration associated with that member, and
(4) the communication interface of the server being further configured to transmit, to the workspace personalization management system over the network, the workspace configuration associated with the member;
(d) the workspace personalization management system further including:
(1) a messaging service interface configured to transmit, in response to the communication interface of the workspace personalization management system receiving the workspace configuration associated with the member from the server, a keyable code over a messaging service network to the messaging service device of the member,
(2) the communication interface of the workspace personalization management system being further configured to transmit, to the local workspace access system over the network, the keyable code and the workspace configuration associated with the member;
(e) the local workspace access system further including:
(1) a plurality of keys configured to receive member input of the keyable code that was transmitted over the messaging service network to the messaging service device of the member, and
(2) a processor configured to verify that the member input matches the keyable code that was received from the workspace personalization management system, and in response to such verification, configure the local workspace based on the received workspace configuration, and activate the local workspace for use by the member.
