Now anyone can communicate across the public Internet,
safely and securely
Since the first IP-capable voice and video conferencing systems were released in the 1990's, organizations
around the world have been looking forward to the day when unified collaborative communication (UCC)
applications can be routed over the public Internet as easily as they are routed within corporate intranets.
Working together with industry leaders, Polycom is defining solutions for Secure UCC sessions utilizing the
Internet. Polycom's Converged and Secure UCC Initiative seeks to broaden the reach of UCC applications by
making it possible for everyone to use standards-based, network security tools and techniques. The goal is to
enable and simplify collaboration at a distance between distributed individuals and workgroups, both inside a
company as well as outside.
Routing UCC applications across the public Internet increases the effectiveness and productivity of distributed
individuals and workgroups. It extends the geographic reach of UCC applications to a much larger group of
colleagues, suppliers, partners, and clients. It also allows UCC sessions to become more spontaneous and
cost effective compared to traditional ISDN implementations.
Polycom's focus is on providing the ultimate communications experience in all major environments, to the
broadest possible audience. Our Converged and Secure UCC initiative will first make it possible to hold ses-
sions across the Internet, offering access to more users. Only Polycom is committed to growing the market-
place by establishing ubiquitous access to our UCC solutions.
