Benefits
Kuando Busylight is a communication tool that automatically synchronizes with your unified communications platform.
It is a Do not disturb light indicator that automatically signals your status availability on Skype, Lync, Cisco Jabber etc. Apart from being a Skype or Lync status light, it also serves as a phone ring light and speaker - eliminating the risk of missing a call.
Do not disturb light
It is estimated that 70% of U.S. offices have some type of open floor plan. With the open workspace comes noise, unnecessary interruptions and difficulty concentrating. Distractions and colleagues interrupting often become a daily experience for many employees which causes inefficiency and frustration.
Busylight is a busy indicator light that clearly signals your status availability to colleagues. Whether you are busy in-a-call, doing an online presentation or just need some time to concentrate Busylight will help you. If connected to the company’s unified communications platform (Skype, Lync, Cisco Jabber etc.), the do not disturb light will change automatically with your Skype for Business or Lync status.
Speaker and light flash when phone rings
When companies are moving away from desk phones to a softphone environment, some basic functions are lost – in particular, a reliable ringer. This is because some PCs have no speakers or they are muted and the headset is on the desk – unable to be heard.
The Kuando Busylight is integrated with the softphones system and rings and flashes on incoming calls/IMs. This way you will be able to clearly hear the call and distinguish it in the open office environment.
Corporate IT Policy requirement: Ensure that all Softphone-Users hear incoming calls
It is not possible to provide a Standard configuration Softphone-incoming call alert-indication with existing IT hardware set up that works by default due to diversity of IT equipment/PCs, audio settings, and locations.
Kuando Busylight UC WORKS BY DEFAULT on every machine and anywhere in the organization
Operates independently - not requiring IT support services or audio setting changes
Supports all PC/Laptop/Thin client despite any audio setting/muted sounds/future upgrades of hardware and software
Mass deployment .msi – Group policy settings
Boosts user adoption of softphones
User's willingness and ability to adopt SkypefB/Lync and Jabber is a major factor affecting the benefits of softphones.
Busylight makes users feel comfortable with SkypefB/Lync and Jabber's features and eases the transition from PBX to softphones.
The Skype for Business/Lync and Jabber business case is improved by a faster adoption and a reduced playback period.
