New solutions provide superior user experience and quality for effective teamwork
Whether in a conference room, open office space, home office or coffee shop, Polycom collaboration solutions are transforming the way teams collaborate regardless of distance or device. Enhancements to Polycom RealPresence Group Series make it ideal for high-impact meetings in any size space. In addition to NoiseBlock technology, RealPresence Group Series now includes full HD multipoint enhancements and better interoperability with Microsoft Lync 2013. These video collaboration solutions already delivered unique, true-to-life experiences with innovations like Polycom VisualBoard™ and Polycom SmartPairing™ technologies. Polycom VisualBoard technology takes team collaboration one step further by allowing participants to share, update and create content using a PC, touchscreen or Polycom UC Board™ system. With Polycom SmartPairing technology, the Polycom RealPresence Mobile application becomes the whiteboard, letting users share and annotate on documents stored locally or in the cloud. It can also transfer a call from a mobile device to RealPresence Group Series, letting users control the meeting right from their personal device.
Polycom RealPresence Desktop and Polycom RealPresence Mobile solutions make it even easier than ever to connect and enjoy a full, rich experience from any place you choose to work. Polycom RealPresence Desktop gives users new functionality, including instant messaging to one click video collaboration, predictive directory search, dial by name directory, Polycom Acoustic Bubble and automatic mute detection, which notifies users through visual alerts that they are not being heard if speaking while on mute, which is a common problem in conferences. RealPresence Desktop also pairs with RealPresence Group Series to enhance and extend collaboration with wireless content sharing.
Polycom RealPresence Mobile, a high-quality video and content collaboration application for tablets and smartphones, now delivers full 720p video on select mobile devices, allowing users to see participants and content more clearly. Upgrades to the free app allow users to share and work on content with other meeting participants, and includes far-end camera controls, encryption and integration into traditional third-party voice deployments.
Collaboration solutions for how you work
The new Polycom RealPresence Video App Software Development Kit (SDK)allows partners and customers to incorporate Polycom voice, video and collaboration into core business processes and business applications organisations use the most, boosting overall productivity and unlocking new service delivery models. Since it interoperates with standards-based video endpoints and integrates with third-party UC platforms, it can meet the customisation needs in any industry, from banking and hospitality to healthcare and more.
Polycom RealPresence Platform is the first and only Microsoft-qualified video infrastructure for Microsoft Lync 2013, enabling a seamless solution for connecting Lync to non-Lync environments. New enhancements also make it easier for IT administrators to more effectively manage collaboration across the enterprise, allowing for up to 50 percent more HD ports. In addition to gathering data from EagleEye Producer using RealPresence Resource Manager to track and report on the number of meeting participants in a conference room, it now also simplifies provisioning Polycom conference phones integrated with Cisco Unified Communications Manager call servers. Polycom RealPresence Platform Director gives administrators the ability to analyse data from across their UC investments with enhanced monitoring and graphical time-period reporting, allowing them to better manage feature licenses and allocate resources where needed. Polycom RealPresence Access Director now supports network topologies for load balancing to help administrators optimise and better manage network and server resources, which ultimately helps improve the overall end user experience.
