CallTower Debuts Synergy, for Cisco-Skype Integration

CallTower has announced a new solution: Synergy.

Synergy delivers interoperability between Cisco CallManager and Microsoft Skype for Business unified communications (UC). Synergy enables businesses to use existing Cisco equipment and leverage CallTower’s Microsoft Skype for Business technology in harmony. CallTower’s hosted hybrid solution also enables shared directories and cross-platform dialing.

Many companies have invested a significant amount of resources into Cisco hardware and training.  Divisions within those companies are choosing to go with a Skype for Business solution. The biggest issue has been the ability for these two communication systems to work together to maximize collaboration within the company as a whole.

“With our Cisco Phone System and Skype for Business collaboration environment, we were very interested in testing this unique tool,” said Eric Martin, tech support supervisor for CallTower customer Anka Behavioral Health. “Our company has a very unique disperse footprint, with many offices and 24/7 facilities. We currently leverage Skype for Business for collaboration, instant messaging and internal meetings. The Synergy solution seamlessly integrated our two disperse systems, increasing functionality without shifting the paradigm of our existing culture. The ability to extend our phone system to road warriors and home offices has been an efficiency game-changer.”
