snom UC edition phones capable of native Lync device management

BERLIN, GERMANY & WOBURN, USA: snom technology, a leading developer of IP desktop business phones, announced at Enterprise Connect 2014 that its snom UC edition Lync qualified phones can leverage Lync server's native administration interface for easy device management directly from the Lync server.

snom UC edition Lync qualified phones support in-band device management, overcoming standard provisioning and management challenges. Without this, mass provisioning of Lync qualified phones has been time consuming and expensive while also requiring additional infrastructure.

Required settings like language, time zone, function keys, etc. are assigned by the administrator for individual users, groups of users or specific locations. Because this can all be done directly via the Lync server administration interface (PowerShell), the cost and complexity of additional network infrastructure, training and maintenance can be eliminated.
