Polycom® Solutions for U.S. Federal Government

A collaborative approach promotes greater interaction and engagement between governments and their stakeholders., This gives citizens on-demand access to better- quality services from any corner of the country.

Using Polycom® RealPresence® voice and video solutions, U.S. government agency representatives and citizens can communicate more easily and effectively, from anywhere to anywhere. This improves public services, increases departmental efficiency and responsiveness, and promotes inter-agency collaboration.

U.S. government agencies and departments depend on Polycom to:

  • Strengthen national security and emergency management through situational awareness
  • Improve and accelerate judicial proceedings by reducing the security risks of transporting inmates, expediting court cases, and expanding inmate services with telehealth, tele-psychiatry and other video-enabled services
  • Facilitate the reality of telework for the Federal employee―which not only reduces costs, carbon emissions, and travel time, and ensures compliance with budgetary and environmental mandates, but also improves employee productivity (as telework has been shown to do)
  • Empower agencies and departments to communicate optimally, regardless of the network or environment
  • Eliminate distance through e-learning, training, and development via video
  • Deliver healthcare services more cost-effectively at the point of need, by bringing experts to patients virtually rather than physically


Telepresence has certainly shortened the fuse on NATO's ability to act in this dynamic
environment.
