Company recognized for work on smart call
transfer between mobile and desktop environments
Plantronics (NYSE: PLT) today announced it has been named a 2014
Avaya DevConnect Partner Innovation award recipient for headset
integration with Avaya Aura® through Avaya’s next generation
applications platform, Avaya Aura® Collaboration Environment. This
award recognizes Plantronics for developing innovative applications
and capabilities that enable new opportunities for Avaya
customers.
“As mobility moves from the periphery to the core of Unified
Communications, our customers are looking for new solutions that
can help them work in this rapidly evolving multi-device
environment,” said Eric Rossman, vice president, Developer
Relations, Avaya. “We are pleased to present this award to
Plantronics for developing a solution that opens up new
possibilities in the collaboration space.”
“As the work environment has become centered around what we do
rather than where we are, it is important that our technology
enable that,” said Erna Arnesen, vice president, Global Channel and
Alliance Marketing, Plantronics. “With the help of Avaya, we
developed an innovative solution that allows people to continue
collaborating seamlessly as they move between desktops and mobile
phones.”
Utilizing the proximity feature within the Plantronics headset
and leveraging Avaya Aura Collaboration Environment, this
proof-of-concept solution demonstrated the seamless transfer of
audio- and video-based collaboration sessions between mobile and
desktop environments. When a user wearing a Plantronics headset
comes in close proximity to a desktop with the Aura Collaboration
Environment, the user will have the option to switch from a
voice-only experience to a more enhanced collaboration experience
featuring video and file sharing.
As a DevConnect Technology Partner, Plantronics has worked in
conjunction with Avaya to develop a deep level of technological
integration, empowering collaboration and contact center excellence
and creating an enhanced audio and video experience for any
business. For more information on the Avaya and Plantronics
