LENOVO DEMOS VISION FOR SMARTER MEETING SPACE WITH NEW THINKSMART HUB TECHNOLOGY AT INFOCOMM 2018

Lenovo will showcase its portfolio of meeting room solutions including the new ThinkSmart Hub 700 at Infocomm 2018. We are investing in technology and partnerships to transform the meeting room experience, from inefficient and frustrating spaces plagued by unreliable connectivity, poor audio, lack of content sharing, too many cables, ports and power outlets, to efficient and productive spaces.

Intelligent hardware with sensors detect in-room participant presence and pair devices simply

Audio perform loud and clear through the Dolby Audio™ Speaker System, with enhanced speakers co-designed with Dolby

Unified communications platforms like Skype for Business, Zoom or BlueJeans work seamlessly

ThinkSmart Software Platform is an extensive management console that drives the collaboration experience:

Room experience – allows users to start scheduled or adhoc meetings quickly

Client experience – offers Client applications that help users easily connect and share content

The Console experience – helps administrators maintain and deploy the ThinkSmart Hub 700, provides rich room health reporting and meeting space telemetry

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
