POLYCOM
VIDEO BRIDGES HONORED BY FROST AND SULLIVAN,
INTERNET TELEPHONY MAGAZINE AND VIDEO
CONFERNCING INSIGHT FOR PERFORMANCE AND
MARKET LEADERSHIP
"Product
of the Year" Bridges Lead Industry
in Performance, Reliability, Scalability,
Manageability, and Integration with Core
IP Telephony and Presence Environments.
PLEASANTON,
Calif. - Jan. 17, 2006 - Polycom, Inc.
[NASDAQ: PLCM], the world's leading provider
of unified collaborative communications
solutions, today announced it has received
the prestigious 2005 Market Leadership
Award in the Global Video Conferencing
Infrastructure Systems Market from analyst
firm Frost & Sullivan, as detailed
in the "World Videoconferencing Infrastructure
Systems" report published in December
2005 (#F640-64). Polycom was noted for
its strong overall product portfolio,
including unified conferencing capabilities,
market share leadership, strong brand
recognition, financial strength, and for
its integration partnerships with Alcatel,
Avaya, Microsoft, Nortel and others to
make video communications an integrated
part of a company's core IP telephony
and presence platform.
"Polycom's video conferencing infrastructure
systems continue to set the bar in terms
of overall performance, scalability and
integration," said Sally Windman,
conferencing and collaboration analyst
with Frost & Sullivan. "This
year Polycom led the industry in a new
direction with technology partnerships
to make video communications an integrated
part of the core IP telephony platforms.
We believe this integration is necessary
for wider adoption within corporate environments,
as it offers IT network administrators
more control over video on their network,
while giving end users more flexibility
in how they use video communications as
an on-demand communication tool from the
phone or from their instant messaging
client."
"2005
was a significant year for the conferencing
and collaboration market with important
technology innovation at every level from
endpoints to infrastructure systems to
integration with leading telephony and
presence communications platforms,"
said Robert Hagerty, CEO of Polycom. "Polycom
continues to innovate at every level,
which was confirmed through Frost &
Sullivan Market Leadership Awards in both
video conferencing endpoints and now infrastructure
systems. We will continue to show our
leadership in 2006 through the delivery
of integrated solutions that fit seamlessly
within our customers' communications network
environments."
Polycom
Named "Unified Conferencing Company
of the Year" for Third Straight Year
Polycom was named Unified Conferencing
Company of the Year 2005 for the third
consecutive year by Video Conferencing
Insight. Polycom is the only company to
ever receive the award that recognizes
its pioneering role in driving the market
for unified collaborative communications,
an emerging market category resulting
from the convergence of voice, video,
data and web collaboration.
"Polycom
has made Unified Conferencing on IP or
on SIP a reality both within the enterprise
and outside among telecom carriers. Central
to this solution are the MGC unified conferencing
bridges that make it possible to communicate
over any network from anywhere using any
device: a video conferencing system, PC,
mobile phone or Voice over IP phone. That's
why Polycom is our Unified Conferencing
Company of the Year 2005, for the third
year running," said Richard Line,
editor of Video Conferencing Insight.
ReadiConvene™
- Product of the Year from Internet Telephony
Magazine
Polycom's ReadiConvene unified conferencing
bridge was named "2005 Product of
the Year" from Internet Telephony
Magazine, as reported in the January and
February 2006 issues. ReadiConvene is
unique as a full-featured, all-in-one
IP voice and video conferencing bridge
with an integrated application module
that also delivers gatekeeping, device
management, scheduling and conference
management on a single platform and within
the same chassis. ReadiConvene is packaged
and priced to provide customers with an
easy-to-order, cost-effective, single-platform
solution that is optimized for IP, while
still offering all the industry-leading
features of the Polycom MGC™, including
both on-demand and scheduled conferencing.
Ease
of use for end users is key to the adoption
of conferencing services, and the migration
of video and voice conferencing to IP
networks makes it possible to offer end
users on-demand access - anytime, anywhere
- from almost any communication device.
On-demand conferencing services increase
work day productivity, and are simple
with ReadiConvene's one-number dialing
from any type of endpoint, or point and
click from "buddy list" desktop
applications. Conferencing is very easy
to do with ReadiConvene whether on-demand
"virtual meeting rooms," or
alternatively, scheduled conferencing
with integrated Microsoft Office Outlook
or IBM Lotus Notes scheduling tools.
ReadiConvene
offers a full array of voice, video, data
and Web conferencing applications and
also includes all the scheduling and management
tools required for deploying and managing
today's complex conferencing networks.
These applications come pre-installed
and pre-configured on the ReadiConvene
"Integrated Application Module"
(IAM), providing customers with an IP
conferencing solution that is easy to
install and support.
The
ReadiConvene single platform solution
is optimized for IP networks, but includes
optional upgrades for the support of ISDN
and PSTN networks.
