ProtonMedia's ProtoSphere 2.1, Featuring Microsoft Support, Now Available for Download

ProtonMedia (News - Alert), the developer of ProtoSphere®, the market-leading virtual collaboration environment for the enterprise, announced today that ProtoSphere® 2.1 is now available for download.

ProtoSphere® 2.1 dramatically improves the toolset and capabilities of the first and only immersive, 3D social collaboration environment integrated directly with Microsoft's (News - Alert) Office Productivity Suite (including Outlook®, SharePoint® and Lync®). Version 2.1 allows users to book virtual rooms for meetings and events directly from their Outlook calendars, dramatically simplifying the creation of immersive 3D collaboration spaces.

ProtonMedia is rapidly becoming a formidable player in the collaboration space and with Version 2.1, the company is deepening its penetration into the enterprise. "I couldn't be more proud of how ProtoSphere is growing," said Ron Burns (News - Alert), ProtonMedia's CEO. "It's a testament to the team's dedication and creativity. The pace at which we're expanding into the enterprise with new tools and features is really very exciting."

Burns recently presented ProtoSphere® 2.1 to enthusiastic crowds at both Microsoft's 2012 Worldwide Partner Conference in Toronto and at Polycom's (News - Alert) July 16^th press conference in San Jose. At the San Jose event, Polycom not only announced a variety of new products and initiatives, including its new RealPresence® Platform, the company also specifically referred to ProtoSphere® as an example of how to integrate with Polycom's solutions.

ProtoSphere®, which already uses many of Microsoft's business productivity technologies (such as Lync audio, text, IM, presence, application sharing and Office 365), will now be "Polycom Ready." Polycom Ready is a Polycom Partner Network program that verifies products as interoperable with Polycom solutions and applications.

ProtoSphere® 2.1 firmly positions ProtonMedia to enable remote worker collaboration, improve training results and facilitate Human Resource's on-boarding programs among other uses throughout the enterprise. Armed with recent survey results such as those from a leading life sciences research firm demonstrating that 75% of users strongly agreed that it was easy for them to learn while using the platform and 95% stating that they were more engaged than with standard web tools (such as WebEx or GoToMeeting), ProtonMedia is on the rise.

"Just wait, there's so much more to come," Burns added.
