Plantronics announced it has sold more than 5 million audio devices optimized for Microsoft Lync. This achievement further shows that businesses are continuing to see the value of high-quality audio for Lync voice and video communications, enabling end-users to collaborate, anytime and anywhere.
“We congratulate Plantronics on hitting the 5 million Microsoft Lync optimized unit sold milestone,” said Giovanni Mezgec, general manager, Lync/Skype for Business, Microsoft. “As Lync Enterprise Voice adoption continues to gain momentum in the market, we are grateful to be working with partners, like Plantronics, that provide our users with solutions that help meet their communication and collaboration needs.”
The Plantronics UC portfolio of audio devices work seamlessly across the Microsoft Lync platform and beyond and gives IT departments a single trusted vendor for a wide variety of audio solutions that work across multiple environments including, mobile devices, desk phones and PCs.
