Mitel brings UC to Android

OTTAWA, CANADA: Mitel, a leading provider of unified communications (UC) software solutions, announced that Mitel Unified Communicator (UC) Advanced software is now available for the Android mobile operating system, one of the most popular smartphone platforms in the world.

Based on the Mitel Freedom architecture, this gives IT managers another tool to deal with the growing Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) trend in which workers request bringing their personal mobile device into the workplace. IT now can deliver Mitel UC applications via mobile clients across Android-based as well as RIM-based smartphones, representing the majority of mobile devices in business environments.

"The BYOD trend is a big challenge for companies that need to supply a consistent set of communications services across their entire workforce. For many IT departments trapped in a walled garden architecture, there is simply no solution at all," said Stephen Beamish, vice president of marketing and business development at Mitel.

"UC Advanced enables our customers to connect users across multiple platforms and devices no matter where they may be located. With the addition of a mobile client for Android, we further extend the in-office experience anywhere by leveraging the native capabilities of the device for enhanced UC application integration."
