Allworx Interact™ applications bring effortless communication to the desktop, offering intuitive productivity and efficiency improvements for their users. Interact is designed to leverage the simplicity of the PC-based user interface with the power of the Allworx handset, resulting in real-time tangible benefits to Allworx customers.
Allworx Interact Pro adds control over Allworx phones to the application in a series of dockable windows, enabling users to view current and parked calls, contacts, call history, and to control presence management. The ability to view the presence and handset status of other Allworx users prior to placing calls makes connecting with co-workers much easier for those using Allworx systems. Allworx directory entries and user contact lists are quickly located through its search capability, providing rapid, error-free dialing. Microsoft Outlook contacts are also incorporated into the Interact Pro database, or into a combined favorites list, allowing easy search and one-click connections.
"At Allworx, our core values of innovation, value, reliability, customer focus and quality drive us to give enormous attention to producing advanced solutions for small and medium-sized businesses," said Chris Hasenauer, vice president and general manager of Allworx.
