And with over 180,000 men and woman working within the Department of Homeland Security, it is certain that effective communications in such a large de-centralized organization is critical.

For an in-depth look into how the DHS is using video-conferencing solutions to save money and time, we are joined by Polycom Federal Systems major account manager Jim Smith.

As has been mentioned in previous podcasts, Voice Over IP (VOIP) acceptance in the workplace continues to grow. An interesting result of that acceptance is the increasing efforts toward adding wireless capabilities to those existing VOIP environments. This momentum lead Polycom to acquire SpectraLink, a company known throughout the industry as an expert in workplace WiFi telephony.

To learn more about this technology and what to consider when rolling it out within your organization, today’s Polycom on Demand features an interview with Polycom Senior Director of Voice and Wireless Services Wayne McAllister.
