Polycom multiplies alliances and programs
2011-08-30
While it did not want to comment the impact of the acquisition of the video-conference division of HP over its distributor network, Polycom has unveiled its new partner program and another technology alliance.
Dubbed Choice Program, the new partner program aims to push its resellers to invest more in its technologies (A/V, industry specialization, Microsoft unified communications, VoIP, etc.). As a reward, its certified channel gets higher earnings. The goal is to strengthen the skills and commitment of its partners, to face more efficiently Cisco-Tandberg competition. This new partner program leans obviously on its distributors (organized by major specialties, such as network infrastructure, telephony or VoIP - that is Arrow ECS Network and Security, Itancia and Imago in France for example), which may become training centers if they wish.
Beside its POCN (Polycom Open Collaboration Network) alliance, launched last year ago with 8 partners around the Lync unified communications from Microsoft, Polycom plans to further simplify the interoperability of videoconferencing infrastructures with OVCC (Open Visual Communication Consortium).

United Kingdom : AV VAD Imago has extended its videoconferencing portfolio with the Diamond range of cameras.

It would not be a surprise to see these cameras soon marketed through the other Imago offices, in Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Spain and South Africa.
Edit 4/9/2011 : these cameras are indeed available through all Imago offices in the EMEA region...

Video-over-IP VAD Imago Group has announced a new initiative for the IPTV market sector. Breeze Technologies, the MPEG and IPTV solutions developer, represented exclusively by Imago in Europe, has formed a new partnership with French IPTV middleware provider, Vianeos, which will allow the two companies to deliver an ‘IPTV in a box' solution.

Imago has been working with Breeze Technologies for the last seven years distributing the TVium solution and will now broaden its relationship to help both Breeze and Vianeos bring the new package of products to market. Imago's breadth of product offering complements the new ‘IPTV in a box' solution, as it not only brings together content management middleware along with television channels via the TVium gateway, but in addition provides the ability to play out all of the multimedia created by utilising its Amino family of set top boxes. Breeze and Vianeos products are available through Imago offices in Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom.
