Polycom witnesses presence among APAC Region

According to this year’s Forbes Asia Fab 50 listing, it has been revealed that top Asian companies have deployed Polycom’s voice and video collaboration solutions. As the global leader in open, standards-based unified communications and collaboration (UC&C), Polycom(NASDAQ:PLCM) now counts 74 per cent of the companies listed amongst its customers  an increase from 70 per cent of Forbes’ 2012 list.

This year’s list features 50 companies based in 11 Asia-Pacific countries, and of these 37 are Polycom customers. This figure has increased from last year’s list that featured 35 Polycom customers. The rise also reflects the recent analysis presented by Wainhouse Research and Polycom that shows the use of video conferencing as an enterprise productivity tool is growing, with 94 per cent of video users saying that video collaboration increases productivity.

Michael Alp, President, Polycom Asia-Pacific, said, The continued prevalence of our customers in this year’s Asia Fab 50 list demonstrates the forward-thinking strategies they are employing to do business in the region and globally. Video collaboration is the new way of working in a mobile, social, and global world. Businesses are gaining their competitive advantage by building a strong unified communications and collaboration strategy that includes voice, video and content sharing.

To help business drive more effective use of video collaboration, Polycom has recently launched Polycom’s Guide to Collaborating Across Borders, an insightful new resource designed to help readers understand the nuances of doing business across the globe.
