deployment issues.
“Plantronics Manager Pro is a compelling new service for enterprise IT

is a portfolio of software products for enterprises and consumers that
gather and analyze information about the status, state, and performance
of Plantronics products to activate new experiences for customers,
users, and managers. Today the following new Plantronics Spokes software
products are available for customers and partners:
Plantronics Hub
Plantronics Hub for Mac and Plantronics Hub for Windows are software
applications that enable users to configure and manage their Plantronics
communications devices. When Plantronics Hub is combined with
Plantronics Manager Pro, IT managers can control and manage
corporate-wide unified communications deployment, manage inventory and
push firmware updates to devices. IT can provide as much or as little
control over device settings to end-users as they want.
Plantronics Hub Software Development Kit (SDK)
Plantronics SDK for Mac and Plantronics SDK for Windows v3.0 are new
kits that enable developers to leverage the intelligence of sensors
contained in select Plantronics headsets to automate routine processes,
or to make communications interactions more predictive and more
intelligent. Today there are several applications in the market that
have been developed using version 2.8 of this SDK. Developers can
download the new SDK, see sample applications, and receive support from
