iscoord is the first leading UC softphone provider to deliver the latest innovations in smarter presence based on Plantronics Spokes™ contextual intelligence platform.
Enterprise Connect 2012, ORLANDO, Florida, USA – 26th March 2012 – iscoord ag, a leading provider of Unified Communications (UC) softphone applications, is announcing today at Enterprise Connect 2012 a partnership with Plantronics aimed at improving unified communications and collaboration for mobile professionals.
The Plantronics Voyager PRO UC is the first of a new generation of intelligent headsets incorporating sensors that detect aspects of the user’s physical world. By utilizing the Plantronics’ Spokes software developer kit (SDK), iscoord incorporated this contextual intelligence into is-phone® UC softphone clients to know when the headset is worn, user proximity to their PC, mobile call state, and with whom the user is talking.
At Enterprise Connect 2012, iscoord will showcase the integration of Plantronics’ Spokes™ software in its is-phone® Desktop – Communicator Edition. The is-phone® Desktop – Communicator Edition client provides smarter presence information and improves the mobile experience where users can receive mobile phone calls by using their Voyager™ PRO UC headset, is-phone® Desktop – Communicator Edition displaying the caller details on their laptop/desktop and allowing acceptance of the call with their mobile or softphone.
“Plantronics’ contextual intelligence opens doors to new way of unified collaboration and communications. For example, if your Voyager PRO UC is paired to both your mobile and is-phone softphone client (which is running on your laptop), incoming calls can be automatically accepted by is-phone instead of your mobile if your Plantronics’ headset detects that you are closed to your laptop, delivering a better audio experience compared to a cellular call. By blurring the boundaries between mobile and desktop, physical and online presence, we believe Plantronics & iscoord partnership will boost co-workers productivity and expand rapid adoption of Plantronics & iscoord products into the mobile UC space.” said Christophe Remillet, head of business development at iscoord.
”It is exciting to see the innovation that isccord is delivering to the market by leveraging the contextual intelligence enabled by the Plantronics Spokes software platform, together with the intelligence designed into our VoyagerProUC headset solution. By bridging the mobile and PC worlds, Plantronics is enabling ISV’s to create new collaboration experiences.” said Jeffrey Siegel, Vice President Strategy at Plantronics.
