Interessante integrazione tra il popolare client SIP ed il software Microsoft: tutto è racchiuso in una toolbar.

CounterPath Corporation announced the launch of Bria for Microsoft Outlook, which integrates CounterPath’s softphone technology directly into Microsoft Outlook. CounterPath also makes the popular (& free) SIP client called X-Lite.

The toolbar gives users easy access to VoIP call control aling with personal information manager (PIM) info stored within Outlook Contacts. On an inbound or outbound call, it will automatically perform a lookup of your Contacts to find a match so you can see exactly who you are calling or who is calling you. With a minimally invasive GUI that fits right into Outlook, an application that many users “live in” as party of their daily work, Bria for Microsoft Outlook will certainly have some interest.

According to Counterpath, “Appearing as part of Outlook’s toolbar, the Bria plug-in provides a non-intrusive VoIP interface that does not infringe on the PIM’s traditional three-pane design or workspace real estate – preserving the productivity benefits of Outlook while integrating value-added VoIP services.”

“CounterPath is committed to enabling unified communications in a way that employs a user’s favored application tools, preferred operating systems and devices, and existing telephone infrastructures,” said Donovan Jones, President and CEO for CounterPath. “As Microsoft Outlook is one of the most utilized PC applications in the business market today, integrating our softphone into Outlook was a logical move and positions us to fulfill the strong demand that we are seeing from our existing channel partners as well as the overall market for this type of solution. Our Bria for Microsoft Outlook application is designed to increase productivity while reducing overall costs, making the softphone experience even better.”
