Polycom, a global provider in unified communications
(UC), announced new video offerings designed for small and medium-sized
businesses (SMBs) that make it easier than ever to purchase, install, and
operate high-quality, business-grade video collaboration solutions from
Polycom.
Polycomintroduced
Polycom RealPresence Ready, its new comprehensive open video collaboration
solution optimized for SMBs that delivers the highest quality video
collaboration at the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO).
Polycom is also introducing with its partners new
cloud-based offerings powered by the Polycom UC Intelligent Core software
platform to deliver affordable and secure video solutions on demand.
Tailored for the tighter budgets and leaner staffs of
emerging companies, these cost-effective solutions are integral to Polycom’s
strategy to offer SMBs a fast on-ramp to the benefits of video collaboration
and a flexible expansion path in line with their business growth.
“Polycom has built a strong business in the SMB
market over many years with tens of thousands of customers across many
industries that choose Polycom for our commitment to interoperability, highest
quality and lowest TCO,” said Susan Hayden, executive vice president,
Polycom.
“As the demand for affordable and easy-to-use video
solutions continues to grow, we’re doubling down on our SMB initiatives and
accelerating the pace at which we’ll bring innovative software solutions to
market — delivered on premises or from the cloud to any end point: room
systems, desktops and mobile, while ensuring the best video experience at the
most compelling price point. When customers choose Polycom open solutions, they
can be assured that all their communications systems will work together
seamlessly today and as their businesses grow,” Hayden added.
Polycom RealPresence Ready is a comprehensive video solution for SMBs that delivers business-grade performance
in terms of quality, reliability, security, and scalability at an affordable
price and with the ease-of-use that growing businesses need.
Demonstrating Polycom’s commitment to assuring
interoperability with open standards-based solutions, RealPresence Ready is
fully backward and forward compatible with any communications system customers
have today or may purchase in the future.
Comprehensive and easy to use makes it easy to purchase,
deploy and manage business-grade video with a complete system that includes two
Polycom HDX 6000 room systems, one Polycom HDX 7000 system, and five Polycom
Telepresence m100 software licenses.
“There’s something about seeing the person you’re
working with that a voice alone can’t provide,” said Gene Crosby, chief operating
officer at Jackson Spalding.
“We need to be able to communicate face-to-face,
internally and with our clients, even if we aren’t in the same place. When
looking for affordable, high-quality and secure video conferencing
capabilities, we needed to weigh the investment carefully. Choosing Polycom
telepresence solutions was easily the smartest purchase we made last year, and
we’ve seen amazing results,” Crosby added.
