Panasonic Releases UC Pro Communications Application

New software allows businesses to seamlessly connect across offices, devices and systems

Panasonic System Communications Company of North America, Division of Panasonic Corporation of North America, a leading provider of business communication solutions, recently announced the release of UC Pro, a collaboration application allowing users to easily connect to anyone, anywhere, across a multitude of devices. The new software is designed to seamlessly integrate with the Panasonic KX-NS series of IP-based communications platforms including the KX-NS700, KX-NS700G or KX-NS1000, and is a flexible solution for any small to medium-sized business or for large scale enterprises.

“The new UC Pro application is a great way for businesses to seamlessly stay connected to their colleagues and customers and work on-the-go” said Chris Welch, President, Mission Communications, a Panasonic authorized Value-Added Reseller. “With the easy integration into the Panasonic business communications servers, it is a fast and simple solution that will save many of my customers time and money while helping their employees work more efficiently and from virtually any location.”

Whether in the office or working remotely, employees can stay in touch, share ideas and work collaboratively at any time. A single identification allows users to connect a mobile device to their PC, granting the same intelligent functionality to the smartphone or tablet as you would see on a desktop phone, including instant access to stored contacts and the ability to place phones calls through the application.

The UC Pro interface is easy to use, fully customizable and includes popular features such as text chat, video conferencing, one-click calling and an integrated calendar. It is a fast and efficient collaboration tool providing a variety of business capabilities that streamline workflow from any location, including:

• Mobile Integration: Connect a variety of mobile devices to the UC Pro client to seamlessly transfer calls and functionality from a desktop phone to a smartphone or tablet; easily share contacts between the two for fast, one-click dialing.
• Text, Audio and Video Chat: Conveniently hold meetings at remote locations with video conferencing capabilities and instantly connect to one or more colleagues via the text or audio chat functions.
• Integrated Calendar: Never miss another meeting with the integrated calendar function where users can receive pop-up notifications even while away from the desk or office.
• Real-Time Presence: At the touch of a button, share your location and save time chasing down unavailable colleagues by easily seeing their status and location.
• Journal Record: Automatically record your chat and call history for easily searchable conversations, as well as check for missed calls.

The new UC Pro software doesn’t just provide advanced collaboration solutions to increase work efficiencies, but due to the easy integration and excellent compatibility with the latest Panasonic business communications servers, it helps save time and money. Something any business can appreciate.

“Now more than ever, businesses require a communications solution that not only connects employees and colleagues from remote locations, but is also a shared work tool,” said Gary Moeller, Product Manager, Panasonic System Communications Company of North America.“With the addition of UC Pro, our Panasonic business communication server users have the added benefit of easily connecting their trusted systems to a reliable and versatile application that encourages a collaborative team environment, while increasing efficiencies and lowering costs.”
