prairieFyre Software and NET Test for Interoperability

By Anuradha Shukla, TMCnet Contributor

The prairieFyre Contact Center for Microsoft Lync is now interoperable with the Network Equipment Technologies (NET (News - Alert)) Unified Exchange (UX) 2000 All-in-One Survivable Branch Appliance (SBA).

This interoperability will enable businesses to enjoy a range of benefits using prairieFyre’s Contact Center for Microsoft Lync in conjunction with the NET UX2000.

“As the cloud rapidly becomes the IT deployment model of choice for businesses of all sizes, NET is excited to be working closely with prairieFyre in making it as easy as possible for customers to deploy a modular, integrated software suite for the contact center and Microsoft Lync," said Kevin Isacks, chief development officer, NET.

prairieFyre Software is a Microsoft Gold Certified Communications and Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Partner developing unified communications and contact center solutions. The company’s Contact Center for Microsoft Lync is a modular software suite developed on the Voice-over-IP and UC architecture of Microsoft Lync Server 2010.  It is for small to medium sized contact centers looking to combine the advanced enterprise voice features of the Lync platform with Automatic Call Distributor (ACD) and management applications.

Network Equipment Technologies (News - Alert), Inc. (NET) delivers high performance networking equipment optimized for real-time communications. Its UX2000 is known to cost-effectively implement Unified Communications (News - Alert) (UC) for a distributed enterprise.

This interoperability testing will allow the prairieFyre Contact Center for Microsoft Lync to be deployed as a virtualized application on the Applications Solutions Module (ASM) of the UX2000. Thanks to NET’s innovative UX2000 All-in-One SBA, Microsoft Lync Server 2010 can operate at high levels of security and quality in branch offices during wide area network failures.

 “Our UX customers can now take advantage of prairieFyre’s innovative software-based approach to the contact center with the confidence that qualified testing provides,” added Isacks.

prairieFyre Software was in news last month for completing field verification trials for prairieFyre Contact Center for Microsoft Lync and AudioCodes (News - Alert) SmartTAP 2.0 call recording for Microsoft Lync.
