Synergy SKY has announced the integration of its Connect solution with the Cisco Webex Control Hub and Cisco devices.

The video conferencing solutions provider has announced its Synergy SKY Connect integration with Cisco Webex Control Hub, which is now generally available.

Cisco facilitates the seamless, scalable, and secure deployment of video devices across various workspaces, offering centralised management via the Cisco Webex Control Hub. In parallel, Synergy Sky says its Connect offering enhances this experience by providing a universal joining solution for meetings, regardless of the platform—be it Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, or Webex.

Espen Løberg, VP of Products at Cisco, said:

Cisco’s strategy for Devices is to be open and accessible to be used with any meeting platform. Now that Synergy Sky integrates with Cisco Webex Control Hub it will make it easier to scale and manage the ability to join any meeting for our joint customer base.”

Synergy SKY says its Connect for Webex Control Hub is perfect for businesses seeking a streamlined join experience across multiple meeting platforms. It is especially beneficial for those with mixed device deployments from various vendors, public sector organisations operating both hosted and on-premises video solutions, and companies desiring a centralised management system to scale video adoption in any workspace to support hybrid work environments.

More Details On Features

Synergy SKY says its integration of Connect with Webex Control Hub offers numerous benefits, including centralised management from a single, intuitive interface and the ability to join meetings on any platform with a single click, eliminating complex configurations.

Users can experience a simplified experience by interacting with meetings through the familiar Cisco Devices UI, enhancing ease of use regardless of the meeting platform. This integration streamlines workflows, improving collaboration and productivity by removing the friction of joining different versions of meetings.

Additionally, it ensures secure video conferencing through robust security features and enhances room utilisation by automatically releasing rooms when no participants show up, in turn optimising resource usage.

What Cisco News Has Happened Recently?

Last week, Cisco reported continued revenue declines for its collaboration meetings and device solutions, offset by growth in cloud calling and contact centres.

In Cisco’s latest earnings call for Q3 FY24, CFO Scott Herren outlined that collaboration sales were generally flat, with meeting revenues continuing to decline, compounded by a fall in device sales. Growth in cloud calling and contact centres offset this, ensuring collaboration revenues steadied at $987 million year over year.

CEO Chuck Robbins stressed that collaboration product order growth was “positive, ” suggesting that the long-term health of Cisco’s collaboration business looks rosy.

Earlier this month, Altafiber launched an all-on-one calling, messaging, and meeting solution, “Business Calling with Webex“.

According to the regional telecommunications service provider, altafiber, Business Calling eases communications through its user-friendly features and intuitive Webex application, providing greater collaboration experiences for organisations and their customers.

The solutions also include a self-management hub with expert local support from altafiber.

Meanwhile, last month, Cisco launched a pilot project with Morgan Solar that uses solar energy to power collaboration and meeting spaces.

The new concept merges Morgan Solar’s Energy Blinds technology, which captures solar energy, with Cisco’s Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) switch to aid in energy distribution. It also integrates Webex, which senses when a room is unused, maximising energy savings and minimising waste.
