14 DAY TRIAL // Logitech already has loads of products on sale and, in order to provide them with higher interoperability and expanded usability, the company joined Avaya's DevConnect program.
The Avaya DevConnect program is one which many companies are a part of, thousands of hardware and software makers to be more precise.
The overall goal is to make Avaya-compliant products that can be used in IP telephony, contact centers and mobility applications.
Logitech, as a Platinum member, will begin testing some webcams, speakerphones and headsets for compatibility with the Avaya one-X Communicator.
Then again, it would be more accurate to say that Avaya is testing them for compliance.
“Development partners like Logitech help ensure that our customers have access to leading enterprise peripherals—for both the desktop and meeting room—optimized to bring out the best our UC platform has to offer,” said Eric Rossman, vice president, Developer Relations, Avaya.
“Together, Logitech and Avaya are equipping the modern workforce with the tools necessary to be successful, and we look forward to continuing to drive interoperability and ease-of-use with our solutions.”
For those who want specifics, Avaya is looking at Logitech's B530 USB headset, BH870 wireless Bluetooth headset and BH970 wireless mono DECT headset (US/Canada only), plus the B525, B910 and B990 HD webcams.
The BSP420-M and BSP420 USB speakerphones are being analyzed as well.
“In conjunction with our LifeSize division, we’re proud to have a fully Avaya compliant, end-to-end communications portfolio – supporting our customers from the desktop to the meeting room,” said Eric Kintz, vice president and general manager of Logitech for Business.
“Broad interoperability with enterprise vendors is a core component of Logitech’s strategy – we know our products need to seamlessly work with whatever platforms our business customers have deployed in order to deliver the best possible user experience. By joining Avaya’s DevConnect program and testing our UC peripherals, we’re enabling our joint customers to maximize the benefits of their communications infrastructure.”
