Miami, FL (PRWEB) January 30, 2013

snom technology AG, a leading developer of IP desktop phones and communications solutions, will debut an expanded line-up of SIP Lync-qualified business phones – highlighting its new, award-winning 7xx series – at ITEXPO East 2013 in Miami this week. snom’s standards-based portfolio of IP desktop phones represents the industry’s largest and most comprehensive offering of endpoints fully interoperable with Microsoft Lync.

The ITEXPO East 2013 conference and trade show will be held at the Miami Beach Convention Center from January 30 – February 1, 2013.

The new snom 710, 720 and 760 IP phones headline the company’s comprehensive six-phone snom UC edition line-up, scheduled for display at ITEXPO booth #429. snom’s UC phones are the industry’s first and largest family of SIP endpoints to earn “Qualified for Microsoft Lync” status – the top designation for full interoperability and integration of standards-based desktop phones in Lync deployment environments.

Off the exhibit show floor, snom will continue to drive the discussion on SIP endpoint interoperability with unified communications, as snom COO Mike Storella joins fellow UC experts in a special panel about Microsoft Lync deployment trends, myths, challenges and solutions.

Industry Leadership
    

• Panel: Is Microsoft Lync Living Up to its Hype?

Friday, February 1, 9:00 AM, Room E-11
Mike Storella, Chief Operating Officer, snom technology Inc.

Microsoft Lync has certainly been winning its share of the interest and has become one of the hottest discussion topics in enterprise UC. Why? What has the experience been to date, as enterprises have started to integrate Lync into their communications infrastructures? Is Microsoft taking over the UC market? Is Lync replacing the enterprise PBX? How can Lync co-exist with legacy solutions and cloud-based services? This session will include a discussion of how Lync can be deployed within your existing communications environment, the challenges businesses have faced with their Lync deployments, how they have overcome them, and how their Lync experiences compare to their expectations
