Bridging the Unified Communications gap Xander Kupers Sales Manager Netherlands Plantronics

What is the UC gap?
The PC is the principal data platform for unifying communications –
yet it was not designed for voice communications.
Lacks high-quality input/output for voice: simple built-in speakers and no-frills microphone
Frustrating to get low-quality voice, i.e. static, cutting in or out, dropped audio, tinny sound, digitized voice
Entry level audio codec on Bluetooth stack
Some PC features complicate UC calling:
Security lock out
Multiple audio programs AND telephony play simultaneously; no audio hierarchy
Not the ‘phone’ people are used to
Privacy issues

Bridging the UC gap

Enabling clearer calls
Offering superior audio quality, reliability, and a range of choices
