Polycom

Polycom and BroadSoft have a long history of bringing high quality, user-friendly VoIP solutions to market. Together they make it as easy as possible to do business. For example, BroadSoft and Polycom introduced a new phone-based login capability for Polycom IP phones. Leveraging BroadSoft's Xtended Services Platform, Polycom developed a "Quick Setup" key that is activated when the phone is powered up. This new key enables users to directly retrieve their phone's configuration files from the BroadWorks platform via a one-time secure phone login. With this capability, it is no longer necessary to individually match physical Polycom phones to users, saving time and expenses for service providers and providing flexibility to end users.

Polycom and BroadSoft have also launched a joint video solution. Polycom introduced a VVX 1500 business media phone that supports video, high-definition audio and applications that can be executed on the phone using a touch screen interface. This phone is interoperable with BroadWorks.
