CounterPath announced last week the update of their enterprise grade desktop and laptop softphone, Bria with the release of Bria 3.2 for Apple Mac and Windows operating systems. We wanted to let you know that Bria 3.2 is now available.
Current Bria 3.0 and 3.1 retail users will be automatically updated to Bria 3.2. Pricing for a single copy of Bria is $49.95, with additional volume pricing available. Bria is available in CounterPath's online store at www.counterpath.com.
The update includes user requested functionalities and new options making the release of Bria 3.2 more than the usual mid-point update that occurs between the usual "point" release schedules. With the addition of a richer user interface, wider ranging presence capabilities and enhanced contact and account integration, CounterPath further provides what the business customer needs to have when it comes to voice, video and presence capabilities on their laptop or desktop.
The array of new capabilities in Bria 3.2 includes:
- Multiple Account Integration. Bria users can pull in and communicate with contacts from different sources and accounts, including local and company directories, Microsoft Outlook, XMPP, XCAP and WebDav servers. Contacts can be merged into a single view with all of their information from different sources in one place.
- Enhanced Contact Management and Display. The latest updates enable Bria users call or IM a contact with a single click, as well as expand or collapse their list to show more or less information about each contact.
- Bria Add-in for Outlook® (Windows Only). Bria 3.2 includes an add-in for Microsoft Outlook® 2010, allowing users to place calls directly from their email accounts. The new integration features also include a contextual display of contacts in Outlook’s To-Do bar, providing quick access to Bria communications options.
- Company Chat Rooms. Bria now enables organizations to create their own chat rooms, providing employees and authorized external users, such as business partners, with a convenient new way to communicate, connect and collaborate.
- Improved User Interface. Bria 3.2 puts volume/mute controls, frequently used features and key information, such as status, all in a toolbar for convenient access.
- New Workgroup Management Options. Bria users now can manage workgroup functions and add or remove contacts to a workgroup directly from the contact list.
