IP Blue Names Procensis as Exclusive Healthcare Industry Distributor of Its Softphone and Push-to-Talk Product
Doylestown, PA, September 8, 2016 (Newswire.com) - Procensis, a leader in mobility and network design solutions, has been named the exclusive healthcare industry distributor of the IP blue VoIP softphone and push-to-talk clients. IP blue of Stuart, FL, is a recognized leader in Voice over IP (VoIP) communications with thousands of installed users in more than 30 countries.
Procensis President Ed Kennedy said, “We are excited to bring IP blue’s proven technology, which has been adopted by major retailers, to the burgeoning healthcare market. Convergence, or the seamless integration of voice over IP (VoIP) and data communications is the mega-trend in this market. Hospitals, assisted living and long-term patient care facilities are transitioning away from single-purpose phones and moving towards smartphones or tablets that can handle multiple applications.
The IP blue client provides Procensis with a foundation to design and enhance a unified data/PBX network solution comprising handheld devices that communicate with a common communications protocol such as Cisco's Call Manager (CUCM). As a result, a healthcare operation can decrease the total cost of ownership, increase clinical workflow efficiency and flexibility, and improve the patient experience. Both Procensis and IP blue have certified the client on Zebra MC 40 smartphones, and recently, the Honeywell CT 50.
William Mosher, Procensis Director of Healthcare Practices,
“The IP blue client is already proven effective in allowing a user to interface with a telephony system thru a mobile device in several other industries. Our experience in the healthcare market will allow adaptation of this technology to meet the specific needs of healthcare users.”

“Technology companies such as Zebra, Honeywell, IP Blue and others have invested in pushing mobile enterprise class technologies forward during the past 20 years,” notes Mosher. “We are finally at the point where the OS, hardware and wireless technologies allow us to converge different systems to perform multiple tasks on a single enterprise class device. Our solutions are strategically designed on improving patient care through voice and data-driven devices.
“The chief benefit for the nurse, clinician or the doctor is that he or she can carry one secure device to address any number of daily processes, including electronic healthcare records (EHRs), hospital systems, appointment, scheduling, alarm management, nurse call, and specimen collection. The need for a tool belt of devices is over.”
IP blue President David Sullivan, “Our relationship with Procensis is both proven and mutually advantageous. Together, IP blue can stay focused on what we do best, developing the best products, and Procensis can do what it does best. Its experience with hospital deployments and its engineering expertise in mobile devices, Wi-Fi, mobile device management and networking mean that they are adept at packaging customized applications, providing first- or second-level support, and bringing the best customized solution to each client.”
Mr. Sullivan expects that the forthcoming introduction of cross-platform device support, including Android, IOS and next-generation Windows phones, tablets or PCs, will bring additional benefits for clients since existing devices can be incorporated into enhanced networks, simplifying management and support.
