SimpleSignal and Polycom have partnered to produce high definition telepresence and video conferencing, video, and voice solutions that are changing the way organizations communicate. And that’s a good thing for our planet. Although we may be geographically distant from our fellow workers, customers, and partners, we no longer have to travel to be effective. Thanks to these video and voice collaboration services, we can meet virtually anytime and from anywhere. Travel and carbon emissions are reduced—and everyone wins. Consider this: Every time two people meet over video instead of traveling roundtrip—for example, between LA and New York—they save the carbon emissions that would be the equivalent of taking one car off the road for a year.* (Source: Conservation International)

Our dedication to a greener planet is as simple as 1-2-3

1. We provide green products
Polycom’s products are compatible with renewable energy from diverse sources and are RoHs and WEEE compliant.

2. We show customers how they can be greener on day one with our solutions
With our innovative “Going Green with Polycom” three-step methodology, Polycom, in concert with our authorized partners, helps customers benchmark video readiness which includes; implementing systems ensuring service quality and operational efficiency; and tracking and reporting video call savings in travel miles, cost of travel, carbon depletion, and system usage.

3. We minimize our own environmental impact
We strive to continually reduce our carbon impact. We conserve natural resources, recycle whenever possible, and mandate usage of our own solutions in place of travel. Further, we encourage our employees to reduce personal emissions using our trusted, reliable and flexible business communication solutions in the office and their homes.

Contemporary business realities such as globalization and worldwide competition are driving the need for quantum leaps in productivity and efficiency that make the most of operating expenses and maximize returns on investment. These leaps in productivity and efficiency need to be paired with top line growth that is fueled by delivering differentiated and innovative products and services—growth that is sustainable over time. Business tactics that drive costs down such as off-shoring, models that embrace more strategic partnering, and organizations that reflect current business and lifestyle realities such as remote working have all added distance into the workplace. Obviously, distance can hinder people from meeting together easily and effectively to discuss, make decisions or agree on action plans. Furthermore, business information must be readily available in companies and can be a strategic competitive tool if used to make collaborative decisions quickly at all levels within an organization.

SimpleSignal and Polycom are removing the problem of distance in the workplace and providing our users with the opportunity to use information to create competitive advantages by delivering a meeting experience that is as close to actually being there in a face-to-face meeting as any solution delivered by any company before. With our ground breaking, standards-based, on-demand collaboration and Polycom UltimateHD™ solutions that uniquely combine voice, video, and content, we empower your teams to meet and make decisions more quickly, sharing information that can be acted on immediately. Why? Because distance barriers are removed throughout the organization no matter where your people are located and no matter what capabilities their working environment permits.

The ease of use and ease in deploying our technology also removes barriers to collaboration adoption that have existed in the past. In addition, SimpleSignal makes it safe and easy for IT groups to deploy collaboration solutions for competitive advantage by leveraging existing infrastructures from companies such as Microsoft, Google, Salesforce, ACT!, etc. Organizations that need to execute competitive strategies now should consider SimpleSignal’s unified collaboration solutions. SimpleSignal and Polycom have on-demand and truly immersive telepresence solutions that enable the best possible meeting experience. Our powerful communication solutions can be mission critical in achieving competitive differentiation because rapid collaborative decision making makes our customers more agile, making our customers more efficient.
