Johannesburg, South Africa – November 2017, Plantronics (NYSE: PLT), an audio pioneer and communications technology leader, recently announced enhancements to its Software as a Service (SaaS) technology. With focus in the last several years on capturing new opportunities as the communication landscape shifts to the cloud, the technologies designed to deliver communications shift in response to a workforce increasingly in motion.

Plantronics has been a leader in providing innovative, high-quality headsets to large enterprises and contact centers through authorized partners in South Africa for many years. Recently, Plantronics started offering software applications such as Plantronics Hub and Plantronics Manager Pro [1] to help organize important business insight - giving IT and customer experience managers additional information into their communications environments. In order to extend the reach of Plantronics Manager Pro, Plantronics has recently made Open Data Access (ODA) and related APIs[2] available on its Plantronics Manager Pro Developer Portal, a first to market program in such an industry at the time.

Designed for businesses, Enterprise IT and call center managers can benefit from the ability to extend the information in the software dashboards they use today to monitor their communications environment to include analytics related to how the headset interacts with their other communication tools. Plantronics is happy to work with partners and software developers who want to innovate in the communications landscape by integrating analytics into their software.
