Many organizations are wanting to move to one interface for
collaboration tools to make it easy for users to join calls from any
endpoint or software application. Consistency of scheduling, joining and
managing a collaboration session is critical to driving user adoption.
Polycom is making this a reality by extending the easy to use Skype for
Business experience beyond the desktop and mobile applications to
popular voice and video solutions used in conference rooms and offices
of all sizes. Customers can now seamlessly schedule, dial and join a
Skype for Business call from a greater number of solutions providing one
extended Skype for Business experience.
“Many organizations across the globe are moving toward consolidating
their UC environments into a single interface to drive a consistent user
experience and ease of use,” says
Irwin Lazar, Vice President and
Service Director, Nemertes Research. “The desire to enable a consistent
method of scheduling collaboration sessions and a single-click to join
meetings from any application and any location is a top priority.
Polycom’s Group Series, VVX phones, and RealPresence Trio conference
phone solutions with a familiar Skype for Business user interface will
enable an integrated meeting experience, and improved collaboration for
Skype for Business customers.”
Existing customers who have moved, or are planning to move, to a Skype
for Business environment will be able to access this new user interface
via a software download. All three solutions are planned to be qualified
on Office 365, available in Q4 and demonstrated at Microsoft Ignite
(Polycom booth #1624).
In addition, Polycom has officially become a Skype Operations Framework
partner and will assist customers with all facets of the Skype for
Business lifecycle, including planning, deployment, adoption, and
operations.
