Polycom® SMB Unified Communications Solutions - Solutions

Many of today's growing SMBs have multiple communications systems, such as IM, telephony, unified messaging, presence, and integrated mobility, to mitigate the natural communication inefficiencies that develop in growing organizations. Unfortunately, these new systems often create their own inefficiencies as employees attempt to learn and use the different systems and IT attempts to manage and keep them all operating efficiently.

Polycom and our Polycom Open Collaboration Network and ARENA partners provide unified communications (UC) solutions that bring together a firm's disparate communications systems into one holistic and integrated solution. Through a single, presence-enabled interface, an organization's employees can much more quickly and efficiently converse with peers, partners, and customers using chat, telephony, or video—or a combination of all three technologies.

Polycom manufactures a complete portfolio of video conferencing, telepresence, infrastructure, and telephony solutions that natively integrate with today’s leading UC platforms.

Polycom and its partners enable:

Complete communications solutions that unify disparate communications components into a linked and integrated solution
Solutions that can start at a very basic level and then transition, escalate, or scale as additional capabilities are required
A broad portfolio of UC solutions and services to address multiple environments and needs
Expertise to assess an SMBs current situation and design a phased plan to implement a complete UC solution
Solutions that are based on open industry standards to help ensure future flexibility, choice, and investment protection
Premise-based and cloud or services-based solutions that address different CapEx—versus OpEx—solution needs
