Global IP Telecommunications has released Ninja Pro (CTI), the new version of Ninja VoIP telephone line that brings all features of the Ninja phone, with all of its office functionality and makes it available as a Microsoft Outlook add-in.

According to Global IP, the new Pro version features include; a TAPI interface; an add-in for MS Outlook; and dialling through protocol handler or dialling using the PAUSE key from within any application program.

Global IP said that the new Pro version brings the MS Outlook integration to compatible SIP Desktop phones including: Snom 300,320,360,370, and Aastra 6757i(57i). These VoIP desktop phones can all be controlled through Ninja Pro (CTI).

The company said that by integrating the Ninja softphone with MS Outlook, users are able to do the same with fewer open windows on the desktop. The contacts are identified automatically by the software, which enables users to react to inbound calls.

In addition, the initiation of outbound calls, opening of conferences or consultation holds are enabled by the line handler control.

Michael Best, CEO of Global IP, said: Test customers report an increase in productivity and that usability of their hardware telephones has improved by controlling the devices with Ninja Pro (CTI).
