Polycom’s New Collaboration Solutions Made More Accessible and Easier to Use

Polycom, Inc. introduced its new collaboration solutions to the market due to several reasons. One of the major reasons is to provide businesses with more options that could cater to their operations and workflows, yet be in the range of their budgets. This will help business of all sizes to find the suitable collaborations solutions for them. Besides this, Polycom also unveiled portfolio of the following:

• Hardware solutions
• Services
• Video software

The company is hoping that the collaboration technology will be bought, used, and implemented easier than before. In addition to that, this technology will also be more accessible for organizations of all sizes.

The new video collaboration solutions are virtualized and more complete. In addition to that, it is also now subscription-based, which allows it to have lower entry costs for subscribers. In addition to addressing the budget range for all businesses, video environment options are also updated and video delivery is simplified. This is evident in the showcase last 2014 at TEAM Polycom, one of the events of the company’s largest partner event of the year.

A lot has been said about the new solutions and some opinions and descriptions about these solutions came from experts in the industry. Here are some direct quotations from them.

University of Tasmania IT Services CIO Jeff Murray said, “We needed to change the way the University of Tasmania competed in the market and specifically how our students and teachers collaborate, learn, and conduct research. We were very impressed by the highly innovative solutions proposed by Vantage Systems and Polycom. The broad Polycom portfolio integrated seamlessly with our UC platform to deliver a flexible collaborative environment to meet our needs, including fully immersive video studios, high-definition video walls, advanced content annotation, and other flexible learning environments.”

Polycom Worldwide Engineering Executive Vice President A.E. Natarajan said, “We know that video collaboration makes organisations more successful and productive, and that it is a critical tool in getting work done together better and faster. Today’s solutions and offerings deliver the value of video to more people through the easiest and most accessible methods for buying, implementing and using video collaboration. Our focus has always been about meeting the needs of organisations and making our customers successful, and that’s why our innovation never stops.”

Aragon Research Inc. CEO and Lead Analyst Jim Lundy said, “The value of UC, and the benefits that voice, video and content collaboration solutions bring – including increased productivity and faster decision making – are well understood by organisations. The new challenge for UC vendors is determining how to make it easy for an organisation of virtually any size to buy a collaboration solution, make it work with and fit seamlessly into existing environments, and drive user adoption to realise a faster return on the investment. Polycom is taking a bold step that addresses this challenge head on, offering multiple options for an organisation to procure, implement and launch enterprise-grade video in ways that best meet their needs.”

Solutionz CEO Pepper Fernandez said, “Many people want to bring video collaboration into their organisations, but have put off doing so because of the cost of entry or limited configurations for setting it up. Polycom gives us the most complete, flexible portfolio in the industry, making it easy for us to help more organisations design custom enterprise-grade video collaboration solutions that best fits their budget and business goals. It’s not a one-size-fits-all approach.”
