Don’t DIY – Let the Experts Do It

[Kimberly Kelley (kimberly)]

Have you ever decided to do something yourself only to discover pretty quickly that you would have been far better off letting an expert do it for you? Probably most of us have been in that situation at some point in our lives. And the more elaborate the “something” is, the more quickly and absolutely that realization strikes. Refinishing my own hardwood floors comes to mind for me. Take a look at our one minute fun video to see what we mean.

With video conferencing, joining and participating in calls has become increasingly easier (i.e., Polycom One Touch Dial App, RealConnect, etc.), while designing and operating an entire collaboration solution in a multi-vendor environment with more sophisticated and feature-rich technologies and a growing user base (mobile and desktop) has made the job of deploying, integrating, supporting and staying up-to-date more challenging than ever.

If you’re understaffed, missing the necessary skills or simply don’t have enough time to DIY (do it yourself) with your collaboration solution, you should consider working with a managed service provider like Polycom to run the show for you – think the man behind the curtain in The Wizard of Oz.

Polycom Managed Services allow you to outsource as little or as much of the day-to-day operations of your collaboration solution as makes sense for your organization. Service options run the gamut from remotely monitoring and managing your on-premises infrastructure (and endpoints if you like), to completely hosting and operating your infrastructure in a private cloud – and anything in between, including hybrid deployments and third-party management services.

That famous line from the Land of Oz, “Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain” are wise words, whether you’re a young lady from Kansas, a scarecrow, a tinman, and a cowardly lion, or an IT person juggling a collaboration solution along with your day job. With Polycom Managed Services, our team will be behind the curtain on your behalf, and great and powerful things will happen as your team and organization drive better collaboration.

Why not “let the experts do it?” And in case you’re still not quite convinced, watch this short video and decide whether managed services experts from Polycom will help your organization be more successful.
