ISTANBUL, TURKEY, Nov 30, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Polycom, Inc. (NASDAQ: PLCM), the global leader in standards-based
unified communications (UC), today announced the opening of a new
office in Istanbul, Turkey. The office, the latest in a number of
strategic investments that Polycom is making across EMEA (Europe,
Middle East, and Africa) is evidence of its growing commitment to the
region. In the most recent financial quarter (Q3 2011), Polycom grew
revenue 23% year-over-year in EMEA, which includes markets such as
Turkey and the Middle East.
The new facility will help Polycom continue to innovate and deliver
HD video and Polycom HD Voice(TM) collaboration solutions based on
the Polycom(R) RealPresence(TM) Platform, the most comprehensive

for the Turkish market. The announcement marks an important step for
Polycom in providing key partners and distributors with the highest
level of support, services, and expertise on innovations such as
Polycom(R) RealPresence(TM) Mobile, which extends Polycom's HD video
collaboration technology beyond the office and conference room to
deliver to tablets the same high-quality, secure, reliable video
experience customers are accustomed to inside the office. Turkish
distributors and resellers of Polycom products will benefit from the
knowledge of local UC and video collaboration experts who understand
the needs and requirements of local customers.
Speaking ahead of the official opening ceremony, Alain Wiedmer, the
area sales vice president for emerging markets in EMEA, Polycom,

communication channels across mobile devices, desktop tools, and room
and immersive conferencing solutions of all types. The Polycom
RealPresence Platform brings together disparate communication systems
into one holistic and interoperable collaboration environment. Turkey
