While it is true that large organizations continue to embrace the value behind video conferencing, there remains a certain level of frustration when it comes to dealing with the intricacies associated with these often-complex environments. In other words, while folks understand the benefit, it needs to be easier for them to experience it as well.

To discuss what to look for when it comes to a successful large-scale video conferencing environment, today’s Polycom on Demand features our conversation with Polycom Video Solutions Group Vice President of Product Marketing John Antanaitis and Senior Product Marketing Manager Marty Sexton.

When it comes to our healthcare, the last thing anybody wants to hear about is the variety of difficulties organizations charged with our well-being are forced to deal with. In the same way most of us don’t really want to know what’s in a hot dog, we’d likely be unnerved by hearing the stories of what’s happening behind the scenes at a hospital near you.

Fortunately, many healthcare providers are finding things easier to deal with, thanks to the addition of wireless technology placed throughout their facilities.

To help uncover much of what’s available to these healthcare providers in this new wireless world, today’s Polycom on Demand features our conversation with Polycom Service Marketing Specialist Jonathan Cherry.

According to Conservation International, every time two people meet over video instead of traveling roundtrip from LA to New York, they save the carbon emission equivalent of taking one car off the road for a year. Since our last podcast about creating an environmentally friendly organization you can be proud of, Polycom has formally announced its internal and external sustainability initiatives.

For all the details, today’s Polycom on Demand welcomes Director of Business Development Geri Mitchell-Brown.
