Polycom Video Conferencing

Now more than ever economic drivers are forcing organisations to rethink how they communicate.
At the same time, there are ongoing technical advancements that will allow for a completely new and improved video communications experience that truly enables people to meet as if in the same place.
Why Video Communications?
The most compelling reason is the fundamental human need for people to communicate face-to-face. Other types of collaboration – over the phone, on email or IM – can't replicate what happens in a true face-to-face interaction as over 60% of communication is proven to be non-verbal.
People must combine face-to-face meetings with other communications tools to understand each other fully and keep projects and decisions moving forward.
Video Communications a Requirement? Now More than Ever.
Economic Drivers for Video Communications:

Globally, regionally and locally distributed organisations
Over 91% of people no longer work at headquarters offices.

Expensive, inconvenient travel
It goes without saying that travel has become almost unbearably inconvenient.

Competition
Many organisations that are using video communications to make better, timely decisions and track projects more closely are able to stay on top of their market.
Environmental
Video communications provides an alternative to airline and automobile travel and can be part of an environmental carbon offset or reduction initiative.

Work-life balance
Team connections and relationships can flourish with consistent video communications and reduced travel.

Innovation and connections
The ability to connect educators, students, researchers and the private sector in an interactive face-to-face encounter opens a wide range of possibilities.
Video Conference HDX 9000 Series
Technical Drivers for a SEAMLESS, New Video Communication Experience:
Ubiquitous, broadband IP networks
Broadband IP networks have arrived. The promise of convergence of voice, video and data is available to organisations large and small and even to the home.

Moving to high definition (HD)
Participating in an interactive HD videoconference, the experience with HD provides stunning images and a new sense of realism – giving the participant an almost three-dimensional perspective.
Processing power
From a quality perspective, much higher resolution and HD videoconferences can take place on low bandwidth.

Simplicity: intelligent software and interfaces
The new generation of video communications has the advantage of intelligent software that makes connecting just as easy as placing a phone call.
Who are video communications aimed at?
Video communication is for individuals and large, midsize and small organisations. It's less about size and more about the need and requirement to communicate effectively.

Determine areas where your organisation could benefit from better communication.
Get demonstrations of new generation High Definition products and solutions that will provide investment protection and excellent experience.
