BT and Polycom Form UC Partnership

BT announced a 3-year partnership with Polycom focused on delivering unified conferencing solutions within enterprises and public sector organizations around the world.


Under the new global agreement, the companies will combine Polycom's voice and video communications and telepresence solutions with BT's managed services and global, high-speed MPLS network. The solutions will include jointly developed innovations that enable business-to-business collaboration for multinational companies, large organizations, and small- and medium-sized enterprises.


The companies have already collaborated on software that brings BT's Bridge Connect services to the scalable Polycom RMX conference infrastructure. This joint development on the Polycom RMX also allows BT to deliver VNOC services and intercompany B2B services, through BT's Global Video Exchange, in support of Polycom immersive telepresence solutions. Additionally, Polycom RMX has been chosen by BT in the company's initiative to upgrade existing video bridging infrastructure.
