PGi, a provider of virtual meetings offerings, has integrated its audio conferencing platform with Microsoft Lync Online, a part of Microsoft Office 365.

The integration is expected to allow customers around the world to automatically launch a group voice call from any chat, web or video conference within the Lync Online interface, said the company.

PGi EVP of Global Sales & Marketing J. Scott Tapp said for 20 years, PGi has innovated conferencing and collaboration offerings and built a customer base that includes the largest, most discriminating buyers of technology in the world

"By enabling our enterprise customers that are adopting Microsoft Office 365 to easily launch a conference call from within Lync Online, PGi delivers a seamless meeting experience and improved productivity," Tapp said.

Microsoft VP of Business Services, Operator Channels Marco Limena said PGi’s audio integration to Lync Online makes it even easier for Microsoft Office 365 customers to launch a virtual meeting, including dial-in audio, to collaborate and conduct business from virtually anywhere and from almost any device.
