Plantronics has picked up a nice order and a big tick from Oracle
announcing it has been selected to supply the software company's global workforce
with Bluetooth headsets.
The deal will see Oracle's sales reps walking and talking
using the Plantronics Voyager 510-USB Bluetooth headset system linked to their VoIP-enabled
laptops and mobile phones.
The device means they only have to use a single wireless
headset to access either. But it also opens up a host of other applications.
Using the headset, the Oracle staffers can use voice commands to log into
Oracle Collaboration Suite, listen to and draft new e-mails, and access
calendar items, address book contacts, and other information.
"We evaluated numerous headset offerings to complement
Oracle's VoIP deployment, and the Plantronics Voyager 510-USB is clearly ahead
of the pack for audio performance, ease of use and style and comfort," said
Mark Sunday, Senior Vice President and CIO, Oracle.
"We are also very impressed with the Voyager's performance
with Oracle Collaboration Suite. Now employees have a single wireless headset
for all of their voice and data communications."
"Ergonomics and hands-free benefits were key factors in
selecting the Voyager 510-USB," said Maria Maskiewicz, Global Corporate
Procurement and IT Vendor Management, Oracle.
"The headset is extremely
comfortable and will help reduce neck and back pain typically associated with
prolonged handset usage. Additionally, the headset is very discreet which will
encourage employees to wear it frequently."
The headsets will also provide a feature called PerSonoCall which provides remote ring detection and enables users to wirelessly
answer/end PC telephony calls away from their working area.
By "cutting the
cord" between the PC and headset, the users will have the freedom to roam up to 10 metres from their laptops and to be completely hands-free to
multi-task and collaborate more effectively, says Oracle
