Pexip and Poly Collaboration to Offer Suite of On-Premises and Cloud-Based Communications Solutions
Videoconferencing and collaboration solutions have become essential tools for businesses and organisations in the wake of the pandemic. As remote work continues to become the norm, more and more companies are relying on video conferencing and collaboration solutions to keep their employees connected and productive.
Pexip, a provider of enterprise video and collaboration solutions, has recently entered into a strategic collaboration with Poly, an HP company, to offer a suite of on-premises and cloud-based communications solutions. The partnership between Pexip and Poly will provide customers with a seamless and powerful video conferencing and collaboration experience.
The collaboration between Pexip and Poly will enable Poly to integrate Pexip's technology into its solutions, providing customers with a suite of offerings that prioritise better user experiences, deeper customisation, higher levels of interoperability, and alliance strength, all while adhering to robust security protocols. The new solutions will replace Poly's existing Clariti and RealConnect offerings for on-premise and cloud-based communications.
The three new offerings include Poly PrivateConnect powered by Pexip, Poly CloudConnect powered by Pexip, and Poly FedConnect powered by Pexip. These solutions are designed to provide customers with a reliable and high-quality video experience while maintaining strict security protocols. The benefits of these solutions include bringing a Teams-like meeting experience to existing video systems, potential cost savings through the modernisation of legacy video infrastructure, and investment protection and improved sustainability.
Poly PrivateConnect powered by Pexip is a secure video technology platform that delivers a unified meeting experience in a flexible and scalable way while maintaining strict security protocols. Customers can operate in their private cloud tenant or on-premises and can seamlessly connect to Microsoft Teams or Google Meet via its interoperability modules for a near-native user experience.
Poly CloudConnect powered by Pexip provides multiplatform interoperability for Microsoft Teams and Google Meet. It allows users to operate their entire video conferencing environment on a cloud platform and focuses on end-user experience, customisation, and ease of management and control.
Poly FedConnect powered by Pexip is an SaaS-based videoconferencing solution designed for US federal, state, and local government organisations. Customers can securely join Microsoft Teams calls from standards-based video systems within a compliant cloud environment.
Trond Johannessen, Pexip's CEO, said, "The partnership expands Pexip's reach and brings its technology to a broader audience. Poly works with some of the world's most privacy- and security-conscious customers across government and large-enterprise markets. Pexip's video technology is ideal for these organizations, and we're thrilled to work with Poly to help them securely connect with interoperability at scale."
Through Poly service offerings, customers can leverage a portfolio of support, professional, and managed services that span the lifecycle of any video collaboration requirement. Professional services include design, deployment, optimisation, and transition to the new offerings. Managed services include the knowledge necessary for installation, management, operation, and global support with infrastructure, networking, and video technology expertise.
The collaboration between Pexip and Poly brings together the best communications platforms, video endpoints, and services, offering strong security mechanisms that emphasize data privacy and sovereignty while providing connectivity anywhere on any device. The new solutions will be particularly relevant to vertical markets such as financial services, government, and healthcare.
In conclusion, Pexip and Poly's strategic collaboration will provide customers with a suite of on-premises and cloud-based communications solutions that prioritize better user experiences, deeper customisation, higher levels of interoperability, and alliance strength while adhering to robust security protocols. These solutions will bring a Teams-like meeting experience to existing video systems, potential cost savings through the modernisation of legacy video infrastructure.
