Designed to Increase Adoption and Provide a Rich User Experience
Lync Conference 2013 - The changing workplace and mobility of
today's workers can present challenges for companies rolling out Unified
Communications (UC). Flexible working requires tools that keep people
connected in busy airports as easily as from home or in the office and
smarter devices that bring context to Microsoft Lync® deliver a more
natural experience. Plantronics
(NYSE: PLT) understands the way people work and has developed a suite of
products designed to make communicating through Microsoft Lync easier,
regardless of your environment.
"Enterprises of all sizes can benefit from Microsoft's productivity
software, both on-premise and in the cloud," said Giovanni Mezgec,
General Manager of Lync Product Marketing at Microsoft. "Plantronics's
offerings provide its customers with the ability to accelerate their
adoption of new technologies across the enterprise and helps increase
employee productivity, efficiency, and organizational flexibility."
Plantronics Optimized for Microsoft Lync 2013 portfolio includes the
Voyager Legend? UC headset and the Blackwire® 700 series headsets which
have sensors than can deliver contextual information into software
applications. The intelligence delivered by the Voyager Legend UC
includes information such as the person's proximity to their PC and if
they are wearing a headset or not. This information can make it easier
for a flexible workforce to connect by providing more accurate presence
information.
"Our portfolio of UC products provides great performance and, by tapping
into the Plantronics SDK, devices like the Voyager Legend UC can also
deliver important information about a person's physical environment into
applications like Lync," said Bill Loewenthal, vice president of
Enterprise Solutions at Plantronics. "With our latest sensor-enabled
wearable technology, users can look forward to boosting the power of a
Lync environment through contextual intelligence."
