The Polycom Advantage

The Polycom Advantage is our commitment to offer a total communications solution—one that will work for you today and grow with you as your business evolves. From the desktop to fully immersive telepresence, Polycom UC solutions deliver:

Best-in-Class Solutions

Again and again, customers who want flexibility, choice, and investment protection without limiting themselves to a single-source vendor choose Polycom solutions and our strong ecosystem of strategic and channel UC partners. Only Polycom has the Polycom Open Collaboration Network (POCN) to give you the flexibility to choose from multiple mission-critical UC platforms and best-of-breed solutions. The POCN extends Polycom solutions so you have even more flexibility and scalability options—and greater investment protection—as you evolve your systems.

Open Architecture

Polycom offers open standards-based solutions. We take a multi-vendor UC approach with interoperable video, telepresence, voice, and content-sharing offerings. This makes Polycom the partner of choice-as opposed to other vendors that offer closed, proprietary single-vendor UC solutions. Polycom also protects IT investments and allows you to transition to UC at your own pace without replacing existing technology. Instead you maintain control and efficient use of your IT assets now and in the future.

Innovation

For nearly 20 years Polycom has led the industry as an innovator. From the beginning, we have been committed to delivering innovative, standards-based solutions and giving our customers the absolute best communications experiences. Our commitment to our customers and to innovation continues with visionary UC solutions that empower people to connect and collaborate everywhere. Most recently, Polycom announced another first—H.264 High Profile video conferencing which delivers greater definition and higher clarify on half the bandwidth, giving our customers the ability to drive down UC costs—only from Polycom.

The Polycom Advantage will help you:

• Increase your productivity with shorter, more effective meetings
• Build stronger team and partner relationships
• Achieve a fast ROI and help in controlling costs

Find out why our customers chose Polycom

To compete in today's fast-paced global information economy, businesses need more than one way to communicate, collaborate and interact with their internal and external constituencies. To remove the complexity of managing multiple modes of communication - be it voice, video, telepresence or messaging - Unified Communications (UC) strategies have become the business standard. At the same time businesses want to protect legacy, multivendor investments, ensure interoperability with new and future investments as well as avoid expensive rip and replace activity. Polycom is committed to giving customers a migration path that protects those investments while enabling a highly scalable, available and interoperable multivendor UC delivery environment.
