Polycom delivers secure and innovative, collaborative solutions that provide real-time interaction for day-to-day and mission critical conferencing, improve the quality of services, support government initiatives and streamline operations.

"We are seeing increased demand for the technology and more uses of it from broadcasting live lectures to simulating and streaming video discussions in real-time, hosting virtual events and consulting on research and development projects. We plan to expand the solution to cover a wider variety of educational programs, such as second year science and technology projects, and reach a broader network of universities across Korea."

Polycom and Microsoft share a passion for delivering easy-to-use unified communications (UC) solutions that improve business processes, productivity, and efficiency in the workplace. The rich integration of Polycom's RealPresence™ Platform and full portfolio of UC endpoints with Microsoft Lync™ gives users the ability to collaborate and communicate, anytime, anywhere.

Polycom's software strategy is designed to bring secure HD video collaboration to the broadest range of business, video, mobile, and social networking applications through standards-based infrastructure delivered on-premises, hosted or with service providers from the 'video cloud'. Polycom's goal is to become the default choice of customers and partners for open UC and HD video collaboration solutions that work together seamlessly, across any application, protocol, call control system or end point.
