Objectworld announces plug-and-play UC on Polycom phones

Objectworld Communications, makers of unified communications software, announced plug-and-play installation with the full line of Polycom SoundStation and SoundPoint hadnsets. The Objectworld UC Server also supports the newly released Polycom VVX 1500 business media phone, and it can be deployed on Polycom handsets in less than 15 minutes per user, according to the company.

Objectworld CTO David Schenkel said around 75 percent of the company's installations have some Polycom phones involved, so this announcement allows Objectworld to continue to bring down the price and hassle of deploying a UC solution for the SMB market.

"We were the first member of Polycom's VIP program, and this announcement furthers that strong working relationship," Schenkel said. "The plug-and-play capability of Objectworld's UC Server allows auto-detection and configuration on Polycom phones, saving valuable time and installation costs for the small and medium-sized businesses."

Schenkel estimated cost savings of $100 per user by deploying the Objectworld UC solution.
