CiraHub is the Cira Apps Ltd. response to a demand for a two-way sync solution for shared contacts and calendars. In its current state, CiraHub is a many-to-many two-way sync solution platform for organizations running Microsoft Enterprise Applications.

The platform is designed for those without IT experience to be able to easily set up shared contact and calendar sync for their organization.

This guide shows the onboarding process of CiraHub by creating a Contact Hub.
