Polycom has announced availability of the Polycom Unified Collaboration Solution for IBM Lotus Sametime, a new, integrated telepresence and desktop video collaboration solution for IBM Unified Communication and Collaboration (UC2) environments that enables users to easily connect and collaborate. This enhanced collaboration helps organisations improve productivity, accelerate decision making and lower costs by reducing the need to travel.
"Video conferencing has long been a core element of any unified communications and collaboration solution," said Sandesh Bhat, vice president of web and collaboration development, IBM. "As video moves beyond the executive suite, Polycom's new integration with IBM Sametime will make it easy for organisations to leverage these capabilities to eliminate travel, protect the environment and drive significant cost savings for their enterprises."
The Polycom Unified Collaboration Solution for IBM Lotus Sametime allows users to "Click-to-Call" and "Click-to-Conference" telepresence, video, voice and unified (combined voice and video) conferencing from presence-enabled contacts within IBM Lotus Sametime. In addition, Lotus Sametime Web conferencing users can launch instant meetings with voice and video conferences, or include a voice or video conference as part of scheduled web conference.
