Polycom has made a major announcements that will revolutionize the way people work and break through the final barriers to the mass deployment of visual communications. These innovation announcements further differentiate 4C product offering from the competition and validate 4C partner Polycom as the leader in unified communications (UC), which will continue to accelerate our momentum and awareness in the market—in turn driving profitability and success for our customers.
Importantly, the announcements—made during Polycom’s historic UC webcast entitled, “Innovation Driving UC Everywhere: From Mobile to the Cloud and Beyond”—are all grounded in providing our customers with:
Best-in-class deployment options, spanning:
• Premise based, cloud, and hybrid environments
• Full interoperability
• ROI-centric professional services
The industry’s best UC experience and ease-of-use & ubiquitous video connectivity
The key initiatives Polycom announced are:
- Polycom is acquiring HP’s Visual Collaboration Business Unit, including Halo products and managed services, and the two companies have entered into a deep strategic relationship
- Polycom is the brainchild behind, and a leading founder of, the revolutionary Open Visual Communication Consortium™ (OVCC™)—the world’s first and largest open video exchange cloud, with 14 leading global service providers as founding members—that will make visual communications as easy and accessible for users as mobile phone communications
- A breakthrough new solution that solidifies how Polycom’s relationship with Microsoft® is the best it’s ever been: code-named “Rally”, the offering will be the first and only room telepresence solution with an embedded Microsoft® Lync™ client that natively integrates with Microsoft’s Office 365 cloud offering, running on Lync Server, as well as premise-based Lync systems
In combination, these strategic initiatives will transform the way people work—dramatically increasing productivity, reducing costs, and providing significant competitive advantage for our customers.
Polycom/Microsoft Strategic Alliance—Reaching New Heights!
- Polycom’s relationship with Microsoft has moved to a new level, as demonstrated by the pre-announcement of a breakthrough telepresence solution code-named “Rally.” It will be the first and only room system to natively connects into premise-based Lync systems, as well as Microsoft’s upcoming Office 365 cloud offering that will also run on Lync.
- Scheduled for demonstration at Microsoft’s global partner conference in July, and for general availability in Q4 2011, the new joint solution has been purpose-built for the Lync platform, so users in enterprise and small and medium businesses will be able to leverage the interfaces and applications they are familiar with, to easily schedule and activate video calls and engage in real-time, multi-way content collaboration.
- Polycom views Microsoft’s acquisition of Skype® as great news for the industry, as it will drive greater adoption of visual communications. But make no mistake, Skype is a consumer play about mobile advertising. Polycom continues to be Microsoft’s only path to secure, fully interoperable, end-to-end UC solutions spanning enterprise and public sector organizations, as well as small and medium business (SMB), mobile, and consumer environments.
