As an active Microsoft Partner Syplex has recently attained the Microsoft Silver Communications competency specialising in Microsoft Lync technology. This confirms our expertise in Unified Communications and allows us to sell, deploy, support and develop Microsoft Lync solutions alongside other complementary solutions.

 A bit from Microsoft about Lync

Workplaces are changing. Teams are more distributed. Customers need productivity tools that enable them to work from virtually anywhere. Communications is a core part of a customer’s productivity and is continuing to evolve and change the way people interact. Additionally, the industry is changing, and as IDC indicates, a few factors that are shaping the industry are that “Mobility is increasing in importance” and that “Enterprises increasingly expect to customize work flows with communications capabilities.

 Microsoft Lync connects users in new ways, regardless of their physical location. The latest release of the Unified Communications platform delivers a fresh, intuitive user experience that is directly accessible from Microsoft Office applications such as Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Word, and Microsoft SharePoint. Lync brings together the different ways people communicate in a single interface, is deployed as a unified platform, and is administered through a single management infrastructure. The unified nature of the system helps reduce costs and facilitates rapid user adoption. And because Lync is broadly interoperable, it fits into current IT infrastructures for easier deployment and migration.

Syplex have been appointed to implement Lync and integrate it with a room based Polycom VC for the MRC. For more information about Microsoft Lync please visit the Microsoft website.
