India's Jaypee Group Selects Polycom RealPresence Video Solutions

In India, traveling is often a problem. This is more so for companies that have their branches spread to all the nooks and crannies of the country. While the major cities in India have busy traffic, many areas in rural India are hard to reach. A number of companies operating in the country are now looking for technological alternatives to overcome this problem.

As a result, video communication technology is fast growing in India. As an indication of this trend, Jaypee Group, a large and well-diversified conglomerate in India, recently selected Polycom (News - Alert) RealPresence video solutions. By picking up Polycom RealPresence, Jaypee Group looks to improve the communications between internal teams and other subsidiaries within the company.

Jaypee Group needed reliable communications technology to be in constant touch with its 40 dispersed and remote offices in India. After deploying Polycom RealPresence, the company has claimed that its travel time has lowered and employee productivity has increased.

Jaypee Group has deployed various Polycom RealPresence solutions, such as Polycom Real Presence HDX 7000, Polycom VVX 1500 video-enabled business media phones, and Polycom RealPresence Desktop 2.0 (software for PCs and laptops).

RealPresence offers easy to use, HD quality video conferencing facilities to its customers. The RealPresence Platform brings together various communication devices in a unified communications environment. It reduces collaboration silos caused by systems that are not compatible with each other and supports up to 25,000 sessions and 75,000 devices in a single video event.

“We are increasingly seeing large Indian conglomerates with dispersed workforces turning to video collaboration solutions to facilitate quicker decision making, improve teamwork and enhance their engagement process,” said Neeraj Gill, managing director, India and SAARC at Polycom. “We are pleased to be delivering these benefits to the Jaypee Group through real-time collaboration, helping them to enhance their working environment and accelerate the achievement of their business objectives.”
