Featuring a wide range of new tools and capabilities
designed specifically for the enterprise, ProtoSphere® 2.1 is a dramatically
enhanced version of our leading collaboration platform, ProtoSphere.
“While the version number might suggest merely an
incremental change, this new version includes a lot of new features that our
enterprise customers have been asking for,” said CEO Ron Burns.
While ProtoSphere® is the first and only immersive, 3D social
collaboration environment that directly integrates with both Microsoft’s Office
and Lync products, Version 2.1 adds even tighter integration with Outlook. Now,
users can book virtual rooms for meetings and events directly from their Outlook
calendars.
“The integration with Outlook is really very tight,” said
Ron. “But that’s not the only impressive new feature.”
Some of those new features include:
- Updated SharePoint integration to support site-federated
authentication, Office 365 authentication and interoperation.
- A suite of tools that will give developers the ability to
create a wide variety of custom interactions such as programming “bots” that
can respond directly to a user’s avatar and adding URLs to virtual objects
- A dramatic performance boost for users who are working on
older computers
- Moderator access controls
- New keyboard controls
- YouTube support
- Backwards compatibility with the previous release,
Version 2.0
- And much more.
“This is just the tip of the iceberg,” Ron added.
“Microsoft is really embracing ProtoSphere. It’s very exciting.”
Ron will be presenting ProtoSphere® 2.1 to a large
audience of Microsoft employees and Partners during Microsoft’s 2012Worldwide
Partner Conference in Toronto. That presentation will be at the Microsoft
Office Division’s “Future of Productivity” Theater on Wednesday, July 11 at 3:00PM
EDT.
Ron was also invited by Lync Enterprise Voice CTO Aamer
Kaleem, to host a "Lunch 'n Learn" session with fifty of Microsoft's
leading global business development managers who focus on the Lync Enterprise
voice technology.
