SharpCloud | Gartner Cool Vendor in Social Software and Collaboration

SharpCloud, an interactive data visualization platform, has been named a "Cool Vendor" based on the "Cool Vendors in Social Software and Collaboration, 2015" report published April 13, 2015 by Gartner Inc.

Social Software and Collaboration 2015

The report evaluates interesting, new and innovative vendors, products and services in the social software and collaboration market.

The report provides the following recommendations for IT leaders supporting collaboration projects:

  • Create a team to explore emerging technologies and test their applicability for increasing collaboration and communication in the digital workplace.
  • Pilot technologies that inspire more effective collaboration through fulfilling employees’ wishes for a more consumer-like experience.
  • Emphasize technologies that are intuitive and practical for solving real business issues and finding new opportunities.

"We've seen a jump in the number of enterprise companies talking about digital transformation and their overall digital agenda. In many cases this is simply about socially connecting the right people to a relevant lens on business content including; data, video and collateral. Leading to better collaboration and decision making" said Sarim Khan, CEO of SharpCloud Software. "Our early customers are reporting huge productivity gains and they like the cool factor when using SharpCloud as a digital and visual way to tell their business stories and it's brilliant news for us that Gartner has recognized SharpCloud!"

 

Gartner's report points out, "Despite the rapid uptake of social software over the past few years, great untapped potential to improve collaboration and communication across enterprises — even with business partners — still remains…. IT leaders of digital workplace initiatives that require collaboration and social interaction will want to examine these creative vendors to see how their offerings can augment more traditional enterprise social software platforms from well-known vendors."
