Lonza selects Polycom's RealPresence video solutions

Jan 10, 2013 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- Polycom, Inc. has announced that Lonza, a supplier to the pharmaceutical, healthcare and life science industries, is using a combination of Microsoft Lync Server 2010 and Polycom RealPresence video solutions, implemented by Polycom service provider partner Orange Business Services, to provide an unified communications and collaboration solution to over 11,000 staff across 90 sites around the world.

Lonza employees, who are based in multiple locations and involved in a wide range of chemical and biological active pharmaceutical projects from research to final product manufacture, can now securely communicate via video, voice, instant messaging, and presence no matter where team members are located.

Lonza has also extended their video collaboration to include Polycom RealPresence Immersive video suites (Polycom OTX series) and Polycom RealPresence Room video solutions (Polycom HDX 8000 systems), all powered by the Polycom RealPresence Platform - interoperable and comprehensive UC&C software infrastructure for universal video collaboration. The RealPresence Platform delivers a personalized experience to every user, Polycom said.

"We chose Polycom primarily for their experience and reputation; secondly, the interoperability with other systems; and thirdly because of the strength of its strategic relationship and commitment to integrate with Microsoft Lync," said Ernst Hutter, Head of Global IT Infrastructure, Lonza. "The combination of Microsoft Lync and Polycom video collaboration has significantly changed our way of working in the last two years. We have more and more home users and this has allowed the organization to implement a more flexible working environment, so employees can work more effectively away from the office and securely join video meetings from home or on the move." The Polycom OTX immersive video suites and HDX Room video solutions are being used by all Lonza employees for a wide variety of meetings - from management and board meetings, to facilitating inter-departmental meetings and expediting quality control group meetings. Additionally, HR uses the rooms for global training and interviews without the need to travel.
