On June 15, 2020, Huawei unveiled IdeaHub, an intelligent collaboration product, designed to drive enterprise collaboration in the Sub Saharan Africa region.
The product, developed by Huawei, is a productivity tool that enables all-scenario smart office, integrating multiple functions including multi-screen collaboration, interactive whiteboard, remote collaboration, FHD video conferencing, and built-in HD AppGallery.
According to Liao Yong, President of Huawei Enterprise Business Group in Southern Africa, IdeaHub is a game-changer that can break down silos and enable employees to share ideas like never before.
"It is disruptive since it can break down silos and enable employees to share ideas like never before. It is commercially, and even culturally 'constructive' as it could help companies build up an intelligent work environment where ideas and information can flow more freely for enhanced efficiency and lower operation costs," Liao said.
As part of its strategy, Huawei also launched its "1+3+X" all-scenario smart office strategy, which includes multiple smart office equipment and a supporting software ecosystem.
"One step further, this may well be an opportunity for African firms to drive their organisational digitisation by not only investing in IT, but restructuring work processes and digitising work culture correspondingly. When African entrepreneurs envision the future of their business, the Huawei smart office solutions should have its place," Liao concluded.
