Enterprise Connect 2016 – Racing down the home stretch!

[Chris Thorson (cthorson)]

We’re about two weeks out from Enterprise Connect 2016 and here in the vendor world, I feel like we are rounding the final curve and starting our final sprint toward the finish line in Orlando. But that’s actually just the starting line for when the real fun begins!  With so many things to see and do at Enterprise Connect, I thought I would share a quick preview what Polycom’s voice team will be showcasing as well as a few of the key activities I’m personally looking forward to.

The showcase showdown

I’m a hands-on type of person and; therefore, the highlight of the show for me is always the expo and the various vendor booths and demos that showcase all the latest technologies our industry has to offer. This year, the Polycom booth will be absolutely hopping! Here are a couple of things that are must-see demos for everyone at the show:

• Polycom RealPresence Trio – In case you haven’t already heard, back in October we announced a new smart-hub for collaboration called the Polycom RealPresence Trio. What is it exactly? Well, let me describe it this way… take our top-of-the-line conference phone technology, add a touch screen control like your smartphone, connect it to a monitor on the wall of your huddle room and press one button to share content and/or video seamlessly from your laptop or tablet to everyone on the call. Trio makes so much sense; I can’t believe we didn’t make it years ago!
• Microsoft Skype for Business Support on VVX Business Media phones – If you are deploying, or plan to deploy, Microsoft in any form, look no further than Polycom for all your device needs. Over the past year we extended our lead in the Microsoft space by adding Skype for Business support to our award-winning line of VVX Business Media Phones. Don’t miss this chance to ask all your deployment questions and see some of desktop features like launching a voice call from IM chat or from your phone. Your contact’s status is “away”? Access their contact card and easily dial their mobile number. You can even use the superior sound of your VVX phone as the audio for your Skype for Business video call.
• VVX D60 Wireless Telephone – Announced back in the fourth quarter of 2015, the Polycom VVX D60 wireless telephone having its coming out party! This innovative DECT-based wireless telephone connects easily to any VVX phone and provides workspace mobility for small-businesses, retailers and office staff that are on-the go.

Of course Polycom will be featuring may other recently announced video solutions like Polycom RealPresence Centro, Polycom RealPresence Debut, and Polycom RealPresence Clariti just to name a few.  Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to experience the power of Polycom!

Across the show

Of course, the Polycom booth isn’t the only place where you can see and experience our solutions. You can also see us in several of the keynote sessions, breakout sessions and at our partner’s booths. More information on this coming soon.  

And last, but not least, enter for a chance to win a free Polycom RealPresence Trio at either the Polycom or 8x8 booth by seeing a demo of Trio or our VVX business media phones! Good luck on the drawing and I can’t wait to see you at the show.  The race is on!
