49: Polycom Video Adoption Center: A Great Resource For Using Polycom Video And Telepresence In Your Organization

While Polycom aims to make using its equipment as easy as possible, we recognize implementing a video conference or telepresence system for the first time can be a bit intimidating. And even for those customers with years of experience, the idea of learning about best practices in the use of video conferencing can be helpful as well. In response to this type of customer feedback, Polycom has recently launched the Polycom Video Adoption Center.

To learn more about this new resource for using video and telepresence in your organization, this episode of Polycom on Demand features our conversation with Polycom Marketing Content Director John O’Shaughnessy and Global Director of Industry Solutions Brian Gilman.
