For children of the 80s Voltron was a staple of your toy collection. Everyone wanted to collect each character, with the end goal of owning all five robot lions and creating “Voltron: Defender of the Universe.”  While integration and interoperability in the enterprise takes on a much different form, the principles hold true—bringing pieces together to create the optimum.

A 2015 example comes courtesy of Centile Telecom Applications and Yealink, as the two have joined the same team to deliver the best in unified communication solutions to business users. In specific, much of Yealink’s (News - Alert) T2 series of IP phones have been certified for use with the ISTRA UC platform.

Bertrand Pourcelot, Director General at Centile (News - Alert) Telecom Applications declared “The certification of Yealink T2 series IP phones allows our operator customers to offer high quality terminals to their end-users.  Enterprises are now looking for cost effective and robust phones with automatic provisioning, enterprise directory, synchronized forwarding rules and HD audio quality. ”

The certification and interoperability translates to IP phones with exceptional voice quality, a user-friendly nature and rich features can be seamlessly integrated with ISTRA to offer firms a portfolio of PBX (News - Alert) features that include ACD, IVR, call transfer and screening, voice messages to email, supervised conferencing, group management and filtering. In addition, a built-in FMC affords the ability to add mobility. Also available are UC functions such as instant messaging and presence.

Stone Lu (News - Alert), Vice President of Yealink, noted “Yealink is very pleased to receive the validation of the interoperability of our T2 series IP terminals by Centile. Operators and service providers can deliver a cost effective and value-added solution, with rapid deployment and best-in-class unified communications and fixed-mobile convergence services to their business customers."

Industry leading providers like Yealink and Centile joining forces isn’t quite like creating a robot to protect the universe, but it is most definitely a way to protect today’s bottom line and aid in a prosperous future.

Yealink and Centile put the pieces together, now it’s your turn to put them to use.
