AMSTERDAM, Feb. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Plantronics,
Inc. ("Poly" – formerly Plantronics and Polycom) (NYSE: PLT), a
global communications company that powers meaningful human
connection and collaboration, today unveils Poly Lens, a new
cloud-based insights and management service. Initially available in
a fully supported commercial preview, Poly Lens combines seamless
management and updating tools with powerful insight into how Poly
devices are actually being used to offer greater control and
simplicity to IT departments.
Poly Lens joins the company's complete end-to-end unified
communications portfolio on display at Integrated Systems Europe
2020 (UC Hall; Booths 11-B140 and 11 A-150).
"Today's businesses understand that the right communications and
collaboration tools can increase productivity, but there's a blind
spot when it comes to how these tools are adopted and used by their
workforce," said Beau Wilder, vice
president and general manager of infrastructure, cloud and
analytics for Poly. "Poly Lens provides the next-level of
visibility into collaboration spaces and device use without the
need to install additional infrastructure."
Organizations crave transparency and want information
surrounding the successes and failures of workspace
implementations, including the use of new tools or devices. Poly
Lens aggregates data and offers customers a unique overview that
lets them turn insights into actions.
Poly will continue to update the commercial preview of Poly Lens
to add new capabilities, ultimately converging Poly's endpoint
management solutions into one convenient service. Today, Poly
Lens brings management and updating capabilities to the new Poly
Studio X family of video bars as well as the Poly G7500. Over time,
Poly Lens will evolve to support Poly headsets and phone offerings
in addition to an ever-increasing array of new insights.
Key features of the Poly Lens service include:
- Device Management – Poly Lens supports frictionless
device onboarding, setting configurations, map-based inventory
management, and software upgrades. For example, customers can use
Poly Lens today to ensure that their Studio X video bars and G7500
solutions will always have access to the latest Poly MeetingAI
features and capabilities. Having the right technology and tools in
place is critical to help IT quickly and properly deploy the most
suitable mission-critical collaboration devices, services, and
systems. Poly Lens provides a simple and modern interface for IT
managers and administrators to quickly and effectively deploy,
provision and manage their Poly devices.
- Intelligent Insights – Poly Lens identifies and
prioritizes actionable insights that help maximize user adoption
and device uptime through an intelligent news feed. The news feed
ensures the most important and urgent insights are always at the
top of the feed, helping IT managers more efficiently address any
issues that might arise. Coming soon, Poly Lens will provide
room-based insights to help IT and facilities planners optimize
their physical workspace now and into the future.
- Cloud-based Service – With more businesses
moving their operations to cloud-based technology, Poly Lens
delivers a flexible and secure solution that enables businesses to
be more agile and innovative – instantly. Customers can also
migrate between video-as-a-service providers without losing
valuable and historical insights.
"Businesses are struggling to keep pace with the proliferation
of devices needed for the digital workplace and multi-generational
workforce, combined with high costs of real estate," said Melissa
Fremeijer, Senior Research Analyst, European Telecommunications and
Networking, IDC. "Now more than ever, companies have to
optimize shared workspaces and tools to stay competitive. This will
continue to fuel the need for intelligent devices that provide
data-driven, actionable insights and can be deployed in an easy and
scalable way."

Poly Lens is available now
worldwide as a fully supported commercial preview at no
