Notas del editor
- A2007study on Work Topology by Vitra identified seven productive information work behaviours.These behaviours were an important consideration as we were re-thinking our own workspaces for the new office.As a result we create the four work space zones you can see on the slide – concentrate / collaborate / contemplate / communicate to support distinct tasks as illustrated in the slide.
- Here are some example picture of how the workspaces come to life.
- Voice is the most fundamental form of collaboration
- Multi-Device Capability“Unified Telephony” - connect to PC softphone / deskphone or mobile through a single device.“Smarter Presence” – softphone presence will be updated automatically whether on a deskphone, mobile, or PC callErgonomicUpper back Muscle tension can be reduced by up to 31%* reducing instances of muscular-skeletal disorder and fatigueEfficiencyBe able to answer all calls, and perform multiple tasks and actions at the same time, quickly and easily and increase productivity by up to 43%**Audio ExperienceImprove the quality of sound for both you and your caller through advanced background noise cancellation.MobilityMove around your office with a wireless solution, effortlessly collect information, find a quiet spot or consult with colleagues and never miss an important call again
- The Leesman Index, measures employee satisfaction and engagement with the workspaces provided for them .It provides a systematic approach to the collection, analysis and benchmarking of “workplace satisfaction” data.Amongst other things it also allows companies to: Benchmark the effectiveness of their workplace. Provide design teams with valuable insights to areas of common concern Creates a sense of the design process being fully inclusive amongst surveyed staffWhen conducted pre and post-change, provides quantifiable and scalable improvement measurement
- The survey then reports on how well the environment supports different aspects of their work and captures their satisfaction with the physical features of the space.
- Plantronics developed the UC Toolkit to address the common challenges our customers were experiencing when deploying UC audio devices. In this slide you can see a summary of some those challenges which included:1) Equipping their employees with the right device for their role. As you can imagine the needs of an office-based workers are very different from a mobile professional.2) Understanding more advanced audio device technology including multi-device capability and wireless.3) Determining the right support coverage, process and tools for their employees.4) Driving the adoption of audio devices in their organization Successfully addressing these issues would help minimize the support impact on IT and would help drive to the organization's UC implementation ROI goals.
- These key studies point out that the biggest single barrier to adopting a new ways of working is “cultural resistance.”Most of this resistance is coming from middle managers and their fear of losing control of their staff. They fear giving up the sense of control that comes from being able to watch their staff work ….“how do I know they’re working if they can’t be seen.”Our research shows that for teams to work effectively they must acquire additional skills and make many more explicit agreements about how they will work together. These core competencies are social skills such as conflict management, information sharing, performance management and measurement, building trust, and setting expectations and building agreements. These are so called “soft” skills. But as one of our most experienced IT colleagues puts it: “The soft stuff is the hard stuff.”
- However, the office worker faces many challenges which Plantronics has the opportunity to help address with our audio devices and solutions.There are numerous challenges with working with dispersed colleagues, increased virtual collaboration and office-based work in general some of which you can see listed in the slide.
- For new products we consider use cases and needs to address the challenges I have just covered in the context of 3 types of worker typically found in the office environment.The first type of worker is the “Fixed Desk Worker” who has a fixed workstation and is typically in the office 4-5 days a week.The next type of worker is the “Flexible Desk Worker” who works from a “hot desk” and maybe in the office up to 3 days a week or less.The final type of worker is the Mobile Professional who again works from a “hot desk” and is usually in the office just 1 day a week or less.
- I am delighted to introduce to you all 4 stunning new products from Plantronics to address the challenges of today’s Office Workers:The elegant CS500 series wireless solution for the Fixed Desk WorkerThe portable Savi 440 wireless solution for the Flexible Desk WorkerThe versatile Savi 700 series wireless solution for either the Fixed or Flexible WorkerThe discrete Blackwire 435 corded solution for the Mobile Professional Worker
- Before diving into some specifics on the products I would like to cover the key attributes which underpin the new CS & Savi wireless product families.The first attribute is “Simplicity.”With the new systems you get headsets designed for ease-of-use with intuitive button controls and elegant, magnetic docking to make sure the headset is always properly docked and charging.
- The next attribute is” DECT Wireless” which enables truly productive mobility.DECT technology is WiFi friendly which eliminates any interference from other wireless technology in the office while on a call.It delivers up to 120 metre range which enables in office collaboration with co-workers or the ability to find a quiet office space for private calls.The products also have adaptive power technology to maximise talk time.
- The next attribute is ”Acoustic Intelligibility” for superb clarity while on calls.All the products have advanced background noise cancelling microphone for enhanced intelligibility and support High-Definition Voice or Wideband audio for more natural sounding voice calls.
- The final attribute is superb Audio Ergonomics that delivers maximum comfort during calls.Each system has an ultra-lightweight convertible headset weighing just 21g in over-the-ear configurationEach system has multiple wearing styles for maximum comfortA number of models are Noise @ Work compliant* to reduce exposure to high sound levels during the working day
- The first new product I would like to introduce to you is the new wireless CS500 series.This is the perfect first headset system to compliment existing desk phones in the office.It has a choice of wearing styles to suite user preferences.The base also supports multi-headset conferencing that enables users to simply conference in up to 3 additional headsets of the same wearing style for enhanced collaboration.
- The next product in the new line up is the Savi 440. The Savi 400 range is the only portable DECT dongle solution in the market and is designed for the Flexible Desk Worker for PC-based voice communication.With the Savi 440 model we have added the premium version of the new lightweight, convertible headset design which has hot, swappable battery functionality for unlimited talk time. Please note that the additional battery is sold separately as an accessory.
- The Savi 700 is the next generation of our highly successful Savi Office family of products.The Savi 700 is now a true Unified Telephony Platform. Users can now manage calls from a mobile, PC or deskphone through a single device.When used in combination with our software users can now enjoy “Smarter Presence.” This means then no matter which of the 3 phone devices you are using your PC softphone status with be updated to show you are busy when in a call. This feature currently supports Skype and Microsoft OCS / Lync softphones with more platforms to be added later in the year.The W740 model includes the same new premium convertible headset design which we introduced on the Savi 440 with hot, swappable battery functionality. Again, the additional battery is sold separately as an accessory.The Savi 700 base has a modular design which allows users to change or add additional headsets using the same base system which is ideal for use in a hot-desking environment.5) Lastly, the product supports advanced mixing between 2 of the 3 phone devices at the same time and the base also supports the capability to conference additional headset to it as per the CS500.
- We are also excited to announce a new addition to the corded Blackwire family – the Blackwire 435 for the mobile professional which connects to the PC only.The product is a convertible USB headset with mono or stereo wearing options.It is a discrete design that is hair style, glasses and webcam friendly.It has intuitive answer/end/mute controls with an inline mute and helpful call status lightsIt has a noise cancelling microphone to cut out unwelcomed background noiseIt support wideband audio for the best PC audio telephonyIt has a dynamic EQ feature that optimizes voice quality when on calls and automatically adjusts EQ settings for high quality music or multi-media playbackAnd finally it includes a durable travel case that fits nicely into your laptop bag.
