New Upgrade Keeps the Conversation Going

The Jabra Evolve series has been upgraded to include an Intelligent Call Transfer functionality for Skype for Business.

The upgrade allows users to keep the headset on and the conversation going while moving the call from softphone to mobile phone – and rushing out the door.

The series can support call transfer from a Skype for Business desktop-based softphone call to a smartphone. To transfer a call using the Evolve 40 and Evolve 80, users unplug the 3.5mm stereo jack stick from its control unit and the call will transfer to the user’s mobile phone. Users can then insert the 3.5mm jack into the smartphone to continue the conversation or can even continue the conversation using a Bluetooth headset.

The Jabra Evolve series provides clear sound for every call made and received, with busylight and noise-cancelling functions to support a personal concentration zone within today’s busy and crowded office spaces. With Intelligent Call Transfer, the experience now follows the end-user when they are required to move a call from one environment to another – and need to leave their main work station.

“We are pleased to see Jabra deliver their Intelligent Call Transfer solution and extend the communications experience with Skype for Business to enable a modern way of communicating for our customers,” said Giovanni Mezgec, General Manager of Skype for Business Product Marketing at Microsoft.

“The Intelligent Call Transfer feature is a natural evolution to the Evolve feature set. The headset series’ primary functionality remains to create that personal “concentration zone” in open, loud and distracting workspaces,” said Nigel Dunn, UK & Ireland Managing Director at Jabra. “The Intelligent Call Transfer upgrade for Skype for Business extends end-user confidence of being in control of their device environment as they bring their “concentration zone” with them.”
