eZuce
openUC added to NextPlane UC Exchange as a Certified UC Platform.
ANDOVER,
Mass. (November 14, 2012) -- eZuce
Inc., the leading global provider of cloud based
communications and collaboration solutions for large enterprises, has
recently completed certification testing with NextPlane
for its openUCTM solution. eZuce openUC has demonstrated full Instant
Messaging (IM) federation with Microsoft Lync during initial Phase I
certification in which users are able to share not only standard
presence states of either "Available," "Away,"
"Busy" or "DND" on unified communication (UC)
clients but also custom status messages, and enhanced presence states
with federated colleagues.
NextPlane
provides UC Exchange a UC and social media federation service with a
searchable directory of over 100 (and growing) federation-ready
organizations where companies can easily federate with customers and
partners, using a secure management portal to track federation
requests to and from business partners. UC Exchange Federation
Services accelerates the building of collaborative business
communities by eliminating the need to set up and maintain separate
federation connections with multiple partners. UC Exchange supports
all major UC platforms including Microsoft, Cisco, IBM, Google,
OpenFire, Isode and eJabberd. UC Exchange enables end-users within
the UC Exchange community to easily share presence, exchange instant
messages, participate in multi-party chat sessions, make voice calls,
share files, and participate in voice conferences.
"We're
glad to include eZuce openUC in our UC Exchange program; in
particular its seamless IM federation with Microsoft Lync and OCS
enables users to experience collaboration the way it was designed to
be- easy and reliable. We look forward to strengthening our
technology alliance with eZuce as we continue to expand our federated
services to Enterprises through strategic partnerships such as this."
Farzin Shahidi, Founder and CEO, NextPlane Inc.
