Pexip, Enabling Technlogies Partner for Unified Communications Integration

Videoconferencing technology producer Pexip has partnered with Enabling Technologies, a unified communications (UC) systems integrator, to integrate traditional videoconferencing systems with Microsoft Lync.

The agreement is designed to improve flexibility, cost-effectiveness and ease of deployment by solving "interoperability issues related to customers' existing infrastructures — enabling Lync users to connect to legacy video conferencing systems simply," according to information released by the companies.

"Using Pexip's Infinity scalable meeting platform, our customers can now easily integrate Microsoft Lync with any legacy videoconferencing solution, satisfying the need for a straightforward visual collaboration solution that can be seamlessly incorporated into IT infrastructures," said Bill Vollerthum, president at Enabling Technologies, in a prepared statement. "As a result, users within sectors such as education, professional services, and the enterprise gain a more comprehensive unified communications solution that effectively leverages existing IT investments."
