Polycom showcases joint customer momentum and advances in Polycom Video Platform Integration with IBM Solutions

Polycom has announced several key initiatives that further its social business strategy, including strong customer momentum with IBM and strategic product updates, such as native integration of Polycom Real Presence video solutions with the recent version of IBM Sametime. The integration of Polycom's video solutions with IBM social business platforms IBM Sametime and IBM Connections helps companies tap into the transformational power of social and web platforms, empowering video calls from within the email and social business interfaces users.

"Video collaboration is mission-critical in organizations today, and the ways companies are using video is rapidly evolving. Everyday more people gravitate to social networks as their primary way to share and stay connected. Polycom is committed to developing integrated solutions with companies like IBM to power a social video experience that helps our customers realize and maximize the inherent business value of social. By natively integrating the Polycom Real Presence Platform with IBM's social business applications, users can make video calls from within Same time or Connections - whether at the office, at home or on the road. With our integration with IBM, Polycom is delivering innovative, easy-to-use solutions that help our customers dramatically change how they do business, driving productivity, efficiency and ROI," said Sue Hayden, executive vice president Strategic Alliances, Polycom.

Additionally, Polycom has integrated its award-winning video and voice collaboration solutions with the power of Sametime to deliver a healthcare solution. The solution extends face-to-face collaboration beyond fellow Sametime users to include open standards-based video systems. The healthcare solution also features content sharing and social business tools.

As part of its presence at Lotusphere 2012, Polycom CEO Andrew Miller will present during the Wednesday, January 18th morning General Session Keynote, discussing how industry trends like mobile, social and the cloud coupled with Polycom's vision to make video collaboration ubiquitous are pushing the greatness of human collaboration forward. Miller will also join a panel discussion with Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the Web, and Manoj Saxena, Manager, Watson Solutions, IBM Software Group at IBM. In addition to talking to emerging video platforms, Miller will discuss various real-world applications of video collaboration, along with its role in increasing productivity and enabling business continuity in enterprises and industries.

Polycom will demonstrate how Sametime and Connections users can connect in multi-party or point-to-point video calls across a range of standards-based video solutions from immersive suites to conference rooms, desktops, and mobile tablets. Polycom will also demonstrate healthcare solutions that support IBM's Smarter Healthcare initiatives and deliver a remote telemedicine collaboration solution.
