\"\"<\/a>On May 9th, 2012 Plantronics announced the Plantronics Developer Community<\/a>. The PDC is a community for developers who want to build contextually aware applications by leveraging the intelligence made available through a headset.\u00a0Developers can do this via the Plantronics SDK, taking advantage of headset attributes such as, presence, availability, proximity and caller information.<\/p>\n

For example, a contextually aware application could know if a user was wearing their Plantronics Voyager PRO UC\u00a0wireless\u00a0headset – using the\u00a0embedded sensors in the device – and automatically adjust application context, or even take certain actions. Just by taking the headset off, the business application could route calls to an alternative user, or visa-verse when the user puts the headset back on their head.<\/p>\n

The opportunity for a contextually intelligent, wearable platform, like a Plantronics headset, connected to business applications is immense and the ideas are many and plentiful.<\/p>\n

However, what does this mean to you as an IT professional?<\/p>\n

Well, first you need to get your employees to fully adopt UC audio devices, and although that sounds simple, it’s not always the case. A UC audio\u00a0device, like a headset, is foreign to some people and it raises\u00a0emotions around how it impacts their job, their daily comfort and even their appearance.<\/p>\n

Therefore, before your company can truly be ready to take advantage of contextual intelligent wearable devices\u00a0integrated\u00a0into your business\u00a0applications,\u00a0you have to make sure the foundation\u00a0step of adoption has been successful, or at least begun.<\/p>\n

To prepare your company for this\u00a0sea-change, checkout the Smarter Working UC Toolkit<\/a> to learn lessons from your IT peers on how they achieved high adoption rates for their company’s UC audio device deployments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
