Polycom has partnered with distributor Imago Group to launch RealPresence Cloud VaaS into the UK.
Imago is first to market with Polycom RealPresence Cloud Video Meeting Services, a subscription-based cloud video service.
Glynn Jones, Vice President Advanced Technology Group, Polycom EMEA, said: "In today's business environment organisations need to be flexible, both in terms of work styles and IT services. That's why we have rolled out our VaaS offering in the UK after a successful launch in North America. The scalability and flexibility offered by software in a virtualised environment, coupled with a subscription-based pricing model is a great option for many of our customers."
Through the partnership with Imago and its VaaS-t service, Polycom is able to offer a set of always-on virtual meeting rooms or VMRs connecting a variety of voice and video endpoints, priced by participant or by the minute.
Ian Vickerage, Managing Director of Imago Group, added: "Polycom users can be confident that this service will be compatible with their existing video estate while accessing support for their video endpoints and video service from the same supplier."
Jones added: "Partners are a critical component of Polycom's success. Together, we serve a diverse customer base with unique challenges to solve. Our combined efforts help them succeed, and we will continue to drive growth and broader adoption of Polycom's video, voice and content collaboration solutions."
