SHARP TeleOffice

Reference Project

Co-innovation: SHARP and Vigience

Combining the best of both worlds

With the increased flexibility of today’s remote and global work style there are also challenges that require a new set of solutions. Today’s remote meetings are lacking in efficiency compared to co-located meetings. iDeep Solutions’ new “TeleOffice” product aims to change this and increase the effectiveness of meetings. TeleOffice combines the newest hardware and software into a fundamentally new and cost saving virtual meeting experience.

TeleOffice allows for meaningful remote interaction on presentations, videos and whiteboards. Participants can annotate meeting documents to take their personal notes or collaboratively work on a whiteboard canvas. Video conferences are seamlessly started in parallel and support the collaboration on the meeting materials.

The system is built on a secure and sophisticated cloud-based service that connects to the user via a Rich Internet Application which runs on both dedicated meeting room hardware as well as participants’ own laptops. Dedicated clients cater to the iPhone, iPad and other smartphone users (Android-based devices, Blackberry, etc.).

Quote by Sam Nakane, President and CEO of iDeep Solutions

“TeleOffice is a game changer in the market as it brings together collaboration and conferencing on a single global platform. Our vision is to integrate collaborative enterprise systems and video/web conferencing to change the way we work forever, rendering obsolete the disjointed work styles of the past.

Vigience was highly instrumental to make TeleOffice a success. With Vigience’s help, we managed to convert our vision to reality. I am grateful to Vigience for their efforts and dedication which led to this great product. For this kind of project, I would choose Vigience’s consulting services every time.”

Vigience and iDeep Solutions will continue to work together to bring further game changing innovations to global customers through the TeleOffice product lines. iDeep will license Vigience software products to enhance TeleOffice further, and also Vigience will have the honour to resell iDeep solutions to its own customers.

Business Challenge

SHARP as a world leading technology company increasingly faces global competition with a high speed of innovation. SHARP with its deep and profound expertise in high-end hardware needed ready available expertise in complex cutting edge software projects to accelerate time to market drastically and to outperform the competition.

Solution

SHARP and Vigience jointly worked on the software foundation and applications of Sharp from idea to realization. They went through all the stages of productization starting with concept creation in the very beginning to set up the software foundation for the future based on most modern technologies. Vigience was the major ressource for the subsequent implementation effort. After the first successfully completed development cycle, SHARP and Vigience had to make a serious decision as how to best ensure longterm success of the TeleOffice in the future. SHARP and Vigience decided to spin-out the development teams of Vigience, which were responsible for the software development and merge it into SHARP’s own spin-out created to further market and sell the TeleOffice product: iDeep Solutions.

Benefits

SHARP and iDeep Solutions outperformed the entire competition and were first to the market to sell a Teleoffice type of product. SHARP’s sophisticated hardware expertise and Vigience‘s flexible and powerful software skills combined with high synergy. All product developments were ahead of the scheduled time and within the estimated budget. Based on the speed and the quality of their product, iDeep Solutions will be the front-runner for the foreseeable future in its market segment.
