Skype for Business comes to Polycom Business VOIP Phones
Polycom Inc is expanding their Skype for Business product line to include the Polycom Group Series video conferencing and collaboration phones. The familiar Skype for Business User Interface is also being expanded to Polycom’s popular VVX 500 and VVX 600 (VVX 501 and VVX 601) Series phones sold through Buchan Consulting LLC. Not only are the VVX 501 and VVX 601 phones being added to the Polycom Skype for Business lineup but the industry leading RealPresence Trio phones have also been added.
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.
