AVCtechnologies Launches New Features, Integrations and Advanced Capabilities with Smart Office
May 26 2021 - 9:15AM
American Virtual Cloud Technologies, Inc.(NASDAQ: AVCT), a leading
cloud communications and IT service provider, today announced the
latest evolution of Smart Office, a full suite of collaboration and
communications tools offered on the Kandy Cloud Platform. Smart
Office now features enhanced security for all remote endpoints and
an improved user interface and experience.
As data breaches continue to rise, the flood of stolen data has
made hacking passwords even easier. To enable users to more
confidently protect their businesses and improve their security
posture, Smart Office now features optional use single sign-on
(SSO) authentication on all Smart Office UC desktop and mobile
clients using corporate credentials.
Additional new features include:
- Enhanced User Interface — Smart Office now
includes updated graphics and light and dark mode functionality,
enabling users to change the screen mode on their device (mobile
and desktop) based on their preference. Dark mode has been reported
to reduce eye strain and conserve battery power.
- Real-time visual notification — Collaboration
tools are now equipped with features to support visual
notifications of typing responses, missed calls, and chat
messages.
- Message and contact synchronization — New
synchronization capabilities allow for simplified applications
across all devices ensuring users have the same experience
regardless of device.
- Seamless integration with Poly headsets —
Tighter integration with Poly HUB for better audio quality and call
controls.
“The quick shift to remote work presented new challenges for
business leaders as they navigated the uncertainty of how to
promote collaboration and innovation from anywhere on any device,”
said Kevin Howe-Patterson, Kandy Platform CTO and vice president of
product management at AVCtechnologies. “As the workforce shifts to
a hybrid model, businesses need to invest in flexible, secure
technology and solutions that can shift and advance employee
productivity. AVCtechnologies’ Smart Office connects employees to
the office, no matter where they are. The new features and
investment in these tools are a testament to our commitment to
provide leading unified communications solutions.”
The latest Smart Office update highlights a partnership with
Poly to service call control enablement for all Poly (formerly
Plantronics) headsets that support Plantronics HUB software. To
keep users connected and more productive, Smart Office updates will
make remote answering of Poly headsets more user-friendly. Users
can now answer/disconnect, hold/resume, and mute/unmute all from
their headset.
“Our partnership with AVCtechnologies is essential to our
service provider business,” said Dave Finney, Director of Global
Alliances at Poly. “Our work with AVCtechnologies enables us to
pursue unified communications as-a-service (UCaaS) opportunities in
mid to large enterprise verticals, such as financial, healthcare
and education. A key component of that strategy is the integration
of Poly HUB into the Smart Office WebRTC UC client. This
integration enables users to determine their best user experience
by controlling their call from either the telephone or the headset.
HUB integration also empowers users to manage their headset
settings, ensure they’re on the latest version of software, and
receive support if needed. We look forward to working with
AVCtechnologies as it continues to grow its global Smart Office
offering.”
Smart Office 4.1 is available now. For more information on the
