Polycom continues to maintain high quality in sound, in equipment and in the conference room

Bob Knauf, Senior Product Marketing Manager at Polycom in charge of Centro reviews the current state of Polycom since the purchase by Siris Capital.  Bob also discusses the key components of a conference call and how Centro resolves the issues with Don Witt of The Channel Daily News, a TR publication. Traditional conference room challenges Each local room participant has a different experience than the end of the conference table or remote participant. End of Conference room table and Remote participants do not get to fully interact with the participants closest to the camera because they feel left out Sharing content challenge With Centro, far site participants are right in the middle of the conversation.  For local participants, each is about the same distance from the camera and each other with a 360 degree multiple-lens camera in the center of the room. Now everyone is treated equal and you can actually feel the difference. Centro eliminates the inhibition resulting from the end of the table and remote location syndrome. Via smart pairing, participants can easily connect devices wirelessly enabling the hassle free sharing of documents. Utilities which allow markup, erasure, or modifications of screens are friendly and easily accessible.
