What sets Focus Premium apart is its ability to share the on-site data it collects via Stream and send that information to Sphere. Once data is on Sphere users experience a centralized, efficient, and collaborative environment across FARO point cloud applications and customer support tools for faster 3D data capture, processing, and delivery through a secure, single point sign-on process. With Stream and Sphere, registration starts in the field and processing is performed in the cloud while the scan operator is driving back to the office. This allows off-site colleagues to already work on the data or share it with end-customers via FARO WebShare Software, the world’s leading collaborative point cloud project management solution.

Additionally, Sphere leverages WebShare to integrate three customer service platforms: Knowledge Base, which provides technical product information, FARO Support, which provides 24-7 personalized service, and FARO Academy, which provides on-demand and live training and education programs.
