Polycom have announced that they have partnered up with technology leader, Hewlett Packard to sell their portfolio of video and voice communications solutions.

The new expanded agreement will see all Unified Communications (UC) products sold through HP as part of HP’s own Unified Communications and Collaboration Services.

The deal sees HP’s global position as a supplier of technology, especially to businesses, coupled with Polycom’s leading presence in the UC market.

As would be expected, the two companies are looking to enhance the interoperability between Polycom’s video conferencing solutions and HP’s Halo telepresence.

The agreement further cements an already healthy relationship between the two tech leaders and as an addition boost, sees other UC and tech providers such as Avaya and Microsoft pulled closer together, ultimately benefiting the end user who receives the widest possible range of options when looking at their IT infrastructure.

Mark Golden, vice president of Network Services at HP said “With the addition of Polycom technologies to our portfolio, HP can provide clients around the world with a complete range of open voice and visual communication solutions that simplify business communications while speeding collaboration with clients and key partners.”

Indeed, this does bode well for the end user. A one stop shop for VoIP Phone Systems and an unbeatable range of options with regards to equipment and applications.
