Joe Burton, CTO and executive vice president of Plantronics
(NYSE:PLT), was recently named a WebRTC pioneer by the organizers of WebRTC
Conference & Expo. WebRTC Pioneer Award recipients were selected
based on their visionary contributions to the rapid growth of WebRTC,
the browser-to-browser communications technology being used in
innovative business applications for improved customer service and
collaboration.
"One could argue that Plantronics has been in the business of 'WebRTC'
long before there was a defined industry,” said Dave Rodriguez,
president, TMC. “Under Joe Burton's leadership, Plantronics has been a
pioneer in delivering communications devices and solutions that create
seamless interaction over any network between people anywhere on the
globe. On behalf of the entire WebRTC World and WebRTC Conference & Expo
teams, I can say that no recipient was more deserving of this honor than
Joe."
Burton’s innovations team, led by Cary Bran, vice president, Innovation
and New Ventures, were the first to develop and release source code to
integrate headset functionality for WebRTC environments, including call
control and contextual data such as proximity and state information.
