Read MoreHide Full Article

Logitech International SA (LOGI - Free Report) recently announced a major update to its video conferencing device management software — Sync — that is built to support hybrid workforces.

Sync is a secure, cloud-based device management platform that allows information technology (“IT”) admins to manage and monitor Logitech meeting room devices at scale. It works in conjunction with the Logitech Sync App, which runs on a computer or video appliance device in the meeting room.

As part of Logitech’s Video Collaboration solutions, Sync processes data and information that it receives from hardware devices and presents IT admins with actionable data regarding monitoring, management and room insights. It is compatible with popular collaboration platforms like Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom. Needless to say, this advanced remote monitoring technology simplifies tasks like firmware updates and feature enablement.

With the latest upgrade, Sync will support personal collaboration devices comprising headsets, webcams and docking stations, including the company’s docking platform, Logi Dock. Sync will now offer a comprehensive suite of device management solutions to IT professionals starting from home offices to personal workspaces. The clients will be able to manage conference rooms and workstations remotely with much more efficiency and convenience than they currently do.

Logitech Sync’s latest updated features are currently accessible as a free and open beta globally from the Sync Portal.

Logitech has been benefiting from elevated demand for its products in the Gaming, Creativity & Productivity, and Video Collaboration units with the ongoing work-from-home and learn-from-home trends. Its continued focus on bolstering cloud-based video conferencing services has been aiding it to robustly expand the clientele base.

The growing adoption of new mobile platforms in both mature and emerging markets is fueling the demand for the company’s peripherals and accessories. Logitech’s expanding partner base that includes Google, Microsoft and Zoom Video is key to its top-line performance. Buyouts like Streamlabs — a leading tool provider for professional streamers, and ASTRO Gaming — a popular console gaming headset maker are major positives.
