Sharp introduces Synappx Collaboration Hub to strengthen hybrid meetings 

A smart subscription service designed for the hybrid workplace to run smarter meetings with better collaboration

London, 19 May 2022– Sharp today announces the forthcoming launch of Synappx Collaboration Hub, a smart subscription service that aims to simplify the meeting experience, addressing the changing needs and challenges of hybrid meetings.

The Synappx Collaboration Hub has been introduced at Sharp’s Future Workplace Event, where its Senior Executive team discussed how Sharp’s eco-system of smart office devices and services can help businesses to build for the Future Workplace.

Using the power of the cloud, Synappx provides users with an easy to use and consistent interface to run any type of meeting, providing streamlined access to important shared documents via industry leading web platforms and meeting solutions. This simplifies meeting setup to ensure time is spent on achieving meeting objectives, instead of worrying about technology surrounding the meeting.

Many hybrid meetings use a variety of video conferencing equipment and cloud services to connect and share information which can often lead to long set up times, with the average meeting taking up to 10 minutes to start[1]. Synappx Collaboration Hub delivers a consistent user experience whether using a personal or in-room device, removing user concerns when using unknown equipment and services, to ensure meetings start on time. Documents are also easily accessed and shared thanks to consistent processes and menu options when accessing data from various cloud database services.

The Synappx Collaboration Hub helps users to work effectively and efficiently in any meeting space by removing complexity. Whether meeting from a huddle space or operating a sophisticated in-room video conference equipment, users can automatically start a video conference and easily access their documents from a personal PC or Smartphone, ensuring participants’ focus always remains on the content and meeting objectives.

For ease and simple access, the Synappx Go app provides full touchless control of all meeting processes directly from a smartphone. The Synappx Go mobile application ensures users can take full control of all meeting activities, easy meeting launch and the ability to simply retrieve and present content stored in multiple cloud storage services onto a display.

Rob Davis, Solutions & Services Business Manager at Sharp says, “Sharp recognises the demand for a solution that simplifies the meeting experience and meets the changing needs and challenges of hybrid meetings. Synappx Collaboration Hub is driven by the move from the personal to the shared, providing a consistent and easy user experience for every type of meeting, whether at home or in the boardroom, and ensures that technology does not create barriers, but supports our customers to run smarter meetings with better collaboration.”

Synappx Collaboration Hub is available from June through Sharp and its partners. For more information visit https://www.sharp.co.uk/gb
