Podcast: Plantronics’ Sam Kennedy on the Explosive Growth of Video Conferencing and the Need for Easier, Consistent Solutions

In today’s podcast, we explore the results of an independent study commissioned by Polycom, a part of Plantronics, and conducted by Forrester Consulting on the explosive growth of video conferencing usage. We speak with Sam Kennedy, Senior Director of Global Product Development at Polycom, to discuss the topline results of the study, as well as the impact that the myriad of video conferencing platforms have on users and IT pros alike. With key results of the study finding that 84 percent of IT decision makers and professionals surveyed reported using two or more cloud-based video conference solutions, we discuss the issues that can arise through lost productivity and the increased complexities that solutions like Polycom Trio’s video conferencing family of devices helps to solve in today’s modern conference room environment. We dive in to the growing need for consistent, simple experiences that maximize the outcome of meetings and overall collaboration, and the competitive edge that companies who excel in advanced video conferencing technology can have on recruiting and maintaining talent.
