Polycom On Demand

As we talked about in episode 34 of the podcast, VC2 is Polycom’s drive to transform tradition video conferencing to a more pervasive visual communication component of enterprise communication. As time has progressed since the VC2 announcement, we thought it appropriate to share some real-world examples of how the VC2 concept is being implemented by Polycom customers.

Today’s Polycom on Demand features Polycom Video Solutions Group Vice President of Marketing Joan Vandermate.

As video conferencing continues to progress, telepresence is the latest in a long line of visual communications technologies that have promised to radically change the way we all look at corporate collaboration. At the same time, there is the concern that telepresence is just another example of a solution looking for a problem.

For today’s Polycom On Demand, we’re going to dig a bit deeper into the telepresence phenomenon by speaking with Polycom RPX product marketing manager Michele Damerau.

Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business routinely ranks in the top ten business schools in the United States despite the fact that it is also the youngest top-tier business school in the country. In addition to its curriculum, staff, and unique global focus, Fuqua stays ahead of the pack by incorporating new technologies into the school’s business practice. And it was the introduction of the Duke Cross-Continent MBA program that positioned Fuqua as a pioneer in the use of immersive telepresence.

In this episode of Polycom On Demand, we learn how the university put telepresence technology to work in the development of the Cross-Country MBA program as we visit with Tim Searles, Fuqua’s Director for Multimedia Services.
