Organisations looking for hard evidence of the bottom-line benefits of high definition (HD) video and voice collaboration need look no further than Polycom, Inc.
In late 2008, Polycom took steps to ensure its competitiveness in a tough economy, targeting cost centres and eliminating any travel that wasn't absolutely necessary. The company realized an immediate return, including a 30 percent reduction in airline ticket purchases. In the process, Polycom has dramatically intensified its reliance on its enterprisewide collaboration environment, arguably the most extensive in the world. That environment allows Polycom's 2,600 employees, partners, suppliers and even customers to engage with one another through any combination of voice and video communications, content sharing, presence awareness and instant messaging.
