environments
Polycom Inc. (Nasdaq: PLCM) today announced two of its unified
communications products, the Polycom® VVX Business Media Phones and
Polycom® CX8000 room system, have received the certifications needed to
be listed on DISA’s Unified Communications Approved Product List (UC
APL). Polycom’s solutions, which have also been qualified through
Microsoft’s Open Interoperability Program, completed testing with
Microsoft® Lync® 2013.
The UC APL, under the authority of the Joint Interoperability Test
Command (JITC), certifies that each product has passed a stringent set
of security-based information assurance and interoperability tests to
ensure the solution can be placed on the Defense Switched Network (DSN).
UC APL certification is one of the strongest security certifications
specific to UC devices anywhere in the world.
Polycom’s VVX Business Media Phones provide a natively integrated,
unified voice communication experience for Lync end users by combining
Polycom’s superior audio technology with innovative industrial designs
and user interfaces. The Polycom CX8000 video solution is purpose-built
for Microsoft Lync and offers end users a unique 360-degree panoramic
view of the room and an active speaker view to ensure meetings are more
interactive and engaging.
“The strength of Polycom’s 11-year relationship with Microsoft is built
on a shared commitment that our customers require easy to use, high
quality collaboration solutions that don’t compromise on security or
interoperability,” said Sean Berg, Vice President of Public Sector at
Polycom. “The combination of Polycom and Microsoft provide customers
comprehensive voice, video, and content solutions to enable integrated
and seamless collaboration. The capabilities and cost savings our
federal customers can achieve by using Microsoft Lync with Polycom,
especially given current budget constraints, warrant serious
consideration when evaluating Unified Communications and Collaboration
strategies.”
