Plantronics updates Persono software for Sametime Plugin

by Chris Miller at 12:53:22 PM on Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

This actually happened a couple of weeks ago but if you have grabbed the Plantronics plug-in for Sametime (both in and out of Notes) then you should get prompted for a software upgrade. I know I run the option to prompt for software upgrades. The image shows the upgrade and the install screen with the ton of integration options outside of Lotus Sametime

Imagine a single headset with phone and all the telephony integration? I live with the Savi Office one on all day now switching between both the office phone system and VOIP calls with the click of a button.

This will take far more time than I have today. I will start with I was born and still live in St. Louis, MO. Even though for a couple years I was never, ever here and always on the road, this is smack in the middle of the US. Everything is just a few hour flight. That part is nice. No beach/ocean/coast isn't the best. But with the travel I make up for it.
