Polycom announced Polycom RealPresence Collaboration Server and Polycom RealPresence Distributed Media Application are the first video infrastructure solutions qualified for Microsoft Lync 2013.
“Video is on pace to become the preferred means of business communication over the next two years and unified communications solutions have never been more important to business success,” said Ted Colton, Group Vice President, Strategic Alliances at Polycom. “Polycom and Microsoft share the same vision that collaboration should be easy and natural to use. Polycom RealConnect for Microsoft Lync eliminates end-user frustration and helps facilitate more use of video by making it easier to receive a high-quality experience while preserving the familiarity of how to join a video call.”
Polycom RealConnect for Microsoft Lync is interoperable and scalable, benefitting from the RealPresence platform and Microsoft Lync’s audio/video MCU flexibility.
Polycom has developed almost 40 solutions that interoperate with Microsoft Lync since Lync’s introduction in 2007.
