iscoord, a company that provides Unified Communications (News - Alert) (UC) software, and Metaswitch Networks, a provider of advanced carrier services and communications software solutions, announced today that the is-phone SIP phone product line has successfully completed interoperability testing with Metaswitch, and is now Partner Certified.  

is-phone products allow Metaswitch’s customers to extend their enterprise-class telephony capabilities to encompass UC softphone clients, giving them access to their company business tools like Lotus Notes/Sametime or Outlook/Messenger, in order to reap huge advantages such as important TCO savings, an increase in productivity and efficiency,  and easy communication.

is-phone products were created to offer a simpler, cost-effective and ready-to-deploy approach. is-phone products provide extensive Unified Communications features to all types of companies, providing enterprise such services as HD audio & video conferencing, instant messaging with multi-connectors support, and file transfers and directories integration with MS Exchange.  

“We are glad that is-phone product line has been certified by Metaswitch” said Christophe Remillet (News - Alert), head of business development at iscoord. “The UC market was strongly pushing us to get an official interoperability program in place. In North America, we are seeing a growing demand to provide a cost-effective and simpler UC solution for the Metaswitch user base, starting with a roll-out phase in the range of few days, no configuration hassles and fast customizing as well as rebranding opportunities for e.g. telecom operators.”

Metaswitch users can immediately take advantages of iscoord’s (News - Alert) vast range of capabilities in their collaboration suites, and can even extend these UC capabilities to mobile devices.

 “We are pleased to add iscoord’s is-phone product line to the growing list of Metaswitch Mosaic Certified solutions”, said Stefan Knight, vp, strategic alliances, at Metaswitch Networks. “By certifying the is-phone through the Mosaic Program, Metaswitch customers have access to a UC solution that delivers the advance commercial features available through our hosted PBX (News - Alert) solution.”
