Pexip Brings Virtualized Lync/Skype for Business Bridging Technology to Microsoft Ignite

phpjivpCzAMOSLO, Norway — April 29, 2015 — Pexip®, a leading innovator in scalable, distributed videoconferencing software, today announced that it will showcase its award-winning Infinity platform at Microsoft Ignite 2015, which is being held in Chicago from May 4-8 at McCormick Place. Pexip Infinity is the industry’s leading platform for integrating Microsoft Lync and Skype for Business (S4B) with standards-based video, audio, and Web conferencing technologies. The sold-out Ignite IT conference is Microsoft’s largest and most comprehensive technology summit — connecting tech leaders, decision makers, IT professionals, and enterprise developers with the industry’s leading companies.

“Our presence at Microsoft Ignite is highlighted by our Infinity platform’s leading ability to seamlessly integrate Lync and Skype for Business deployments with any existing videoconferencing or unified communications solution,” said Simen Teigre, Pexip CEO and CoFounder. “With our latest release, we’re taking capabilities even further, providing enterprises with new features that enhance the way they connect and collaborate, share information, and manage virtual meetings, no matter what platform they are on. We realize that one of the premier challenges in today’s enterprise environments is that of bridging siloed technologies. We solve this issue and look forward to showcasing our solution at Ignite.”

Exhibiting with partner AudioCodes in booth 418, Pexip will demonstrate how the Infinity platform tackles the traditional challenges related to Lync and S4B gateways, as well as integrating these technologies with existing video and audio infrastructures. Infinity lets users benefit from its industry-leading Lync/S4B to legacy video integration, leverage existing video systems alongside Lync/S4B deployments, and seamlessly integrate Lync/S4B with videoconferencing. Additionally, Infinity works with any version of Lync and S4B, including Office365, on-premises, or cloud-based, and in any combination. No matter what Lync or S4B deployment the customer has, Pexip Infinity will integrate it with other technologies and platforms. Infinity also provides unique and industry-leading content and data sharing possibilities between Microsoft and legacy video systems for an unmatched user experience on both the Lync/S4B user side and the video endpoint user side.

“We are excited to include demonstrations of the Pexip Infinity video experience alongside AudioCodes’ comprehensive Lync and Skype for Business solutions at Microsoft Ignite,” said Alan D. Percy, AudioCodes Senior Director of Marketing. “We see videoconferencing becoming a greater part of daily communications, and Pexip’s solution is a great enhancement for business productivity.”

Pexip is also introducing innovative new features of the Infinity platform that include outbound media for streaming and recording of any virtual meeting and videoconference, and extended group chat functionality beyond standard clients to support every Web browser without the need for special plugins. Pexip Infinity simply enables enterprises to broaden the use of their existing communications platforms.

In addition, Pexip is co-sponsoring a VIP invite-only reception, “A Night at the Museum,” being held on May 5 from 6:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. at the world-renowned Chicago Field Museum. Guests will join AudioCodes, Jabra, Intelepeer, Lync Users Group, Pexip, and ScanSource for an exclusive evening filled with tours of museum halls and demonstrations of the latest S4B solutions.
