In March, at VON Conference & Expo held held in San Jose, the company unveiled the expansion of its line of standards-based VoIP desktop phones with three new models, including two enterprise-grade entry-level phones, and a high-performance four-line phone with Polycom HD Voicetechnology.

Polycom also heartily believes video conferencing is a key driver of change in the workplace at the desktop level. "Tremendous breakthroughs in technology, the prevalent use of the Internet, major telecom network investment and a further evolution into how people work has resulted in video conferencing becoming a 'must-have' application if enterprises are to remain competitive," said Bowers.
