Polycom has launched the RealPresence Cloud Video as a Service (VaaS) solution to the UK. Polycom is partnering with Imago Group plc. RealPresence to enhance the distributor’s own offering, Vaas-t. Cloud Video Meeting Services is offered to Polycom partners in response to customer demand for a cloud video service that is flexible, scalable and provides the same enterprise-grade security and interoperability that all Polycom RealPresence Platform solutions deliver.
Through the partnership with Imago and its VaaS-t service, Polycom is able to offer a set of always-on virtual meeting rooms or VMRs connecting a variety of voice and video endpoints, priced by participant or by the minute. “We are excited to be working with our long-term partner Polycom to launch this Video as a Service offering in the UK,” said Ian Vickerage, Managing Director of Imago Group. “Video as a service is not new but VaaS-t powered by Polycom changes the game. Up until now end users have had to choose from services available from suppliers with limited financial resources and stability. Polycom users can be totally confident that this service will be compatible with their existing video estate whilst accessing support for their video endpoints and video service from the same supplier.”
With the addition of RealPresence Cloud, available through its partners, Polycom says it can can now deliver the complete suite of video collaboration solutions, allowing businesses to deploy video options that promote their commercial success and enable their workforce to collaborate at home, in the office or on the road.
As a commitment to its partners, Polycom offers RealPresence Cloud as a wholesale, white-labelled solution that allows them to bring their cloud video service to market quickly.
