BLI’s analysts conducted an in-depth study to determine the OEMs with the most comprehensive hardware, software, and services offerings for enabling collaboration in the office and beyond. They assessed two dozen points across categories, including: company vision, current offerings, channel approach, go-to-market strategy and industry partnerships.

We’re not surprised that Sharp received the Pacesetter award because of their commitment to office collaboration. Sharp’s new Synappx family of smart office collaboration applications help address the increased expectation of secure accessibility, ease of use and mobility of today’s workforce. In addition, they offer a versatile AQUOS BOARD family of interactive smart screens that make presentations more collaborative and engaging. Those aren’t Sharp’s only contributions to the smart office landscape, but are among those specifically considered by Buyers Lab while making their decision.

“It’s an honor to be recognized as a leader in the smart workplace and collaboration systems,” said Vince Jannelli, Associate Vice President, Software Product Management, Sharp Imaging and Information Company of America. “Our customers are constantly looking for better ways to collaborate and drive information sharing within their companies. With our Synappx family of solutions, and the Windows collaboration display from Sharp, we are committed to simplifying collaboration and connectivity around the workplace.”

“Sharp impressed our analysts with its successful implementation of varied technologies to help the smart workplace evolve,” said Jamie Bsales, Director of Solutions/Security Analysis at Keypoint Intelligence. “The work they are doing is critical in helping foment a more collaborative work environment where end users are less focused about getting the technology right to start a meeting, and more on actually working with their own clients.”

George Mikolay, Keypoint Intelligence’s Associate Director of Copier MFP/Production analysis said, “We ran over one million impressions on Sharp copier MFPs this season, to exceptional overall results. As a whole, productivity results were better than other competitors. Short- and long-run jobs for printing, scanning, and copying were completed in a timely manner to allow users to remain effective and efficient. Above average memory for faster processing of jobs is another nicety, as is above average paper weight support for media flexibility. Strong reliability and above average maximum paper capacities mean less downtime for users to clear misfeeds or refill paper drawers. IT administrators will love the web user interface’s intuitiveness and search and shortcut functionality. And Sharp’s ‘know one, know all’ approach means users of the drivers and control panel will enjoy the same very good overall usability regardless of which machine is close to their particular workspace.”

Sharp’s ‘know one, know all,’ or Common User Interface, makes them perfect for organizations that require multiple copiers throughout their large workgroups. This means that someone from a different floor or another department can use Sharp’s Common User Interface to scan, copy, or print to whatever device they may need to, thus maximizing an organizations efficiency and overall employee satisfaction.
