The difference between a UC-certified device and one that's
not certified for business use?
Sound. (And listening time. And call quality. And technology.)
Here are a few BIG differences:
UC certified devices have:
Microphones tuned for voice
while consumer, store-bought devices only offer single-directional microphones.
UC certified devices have:
Headset Call Controls
while consumer, store-bought devices do not offer headset controls, and are missing necessary buttons.
UC certified devices have:
Multi-device connectivity to connect the same headset to both a PC and a mobile phone or tablet,
while consumer, store-bought devices are optimized for a single connection (such as, mobile phone only).
If you like the sound of:
• increased operational costs
• decreased adoption of the UC platforms your business has implemented (including Teams, Jabber, etc.) and
• decreased collaboration
then continuing to allow employees to bring in whatever headsets/ear buds/headphones they have at home is probably the best plan for your company.
However, if you're ready for UC-certified professional headsets and speakerphones to support your staff, and leverage your business systems, then contact our team on Chat, or call us at 1-866-998-9991 today!
