9. Polycom and IBM Strategic Partnership
IBM and Polycom have teamed to deliver UC Everywhere by enabling IBM’s Social Business
applications to Connect people from any device regardless of location
This solution integrates the power of IBM with Polycom's award-winning UC collaboration
solutions that help people and companies do more with less
and achieve better business results.

10. IBM Sametime Meets Polycom Video
Get SOCIAL and work from ANYWHERE, using ANY DEVICE
Collaboration now part of business processes
Businesses can implement unified collaboration solutions
that spans across mobile and web
client, desktop, conference room, through board rooms
Maintains business continuity
Enables collaborative environments
Communications becomes part of the business
processes
Reduces human latency and encourages collaborative
culture
Bottom Line: Achieve Results Faster
UC with IBM 10

11. Customer Benefits
Increase employee productivity
Allow geographically dispersed teams to collaborate more effectively regardless
of device
Reduce travel costs
Enhanced collaboration – Visual communication adds breadth to IM and Web
collaboration
Simple interface – Users can select Polycom HD endpoints from familiar
Sametime interface as a preferred device to initiate or receive video calls—
supporting high utilization rates with minimal training
ROI and improved productivity – Immediately enhance team collaboration and
effectiveness for faster decision making and lower costs
Leveraged investment – Add Polycom and video to existing IBM environments
UC with IBM 11

12. Advantages of Polycom-integration
Server side integration; does not touch client
ST client (Windows, Linux, Mac), Sametime Plug-in for email clients and social
application can be leveraged as is.
Web AV client (ST 8.5.2) is also supported
Simpler to administer and maintain
Familiar interface is preserved. Little training required
Sametime client to DMA VMR and endpoints possible with new SUT Lite
option for ST 8.5.2
DMA SIP trunking to Sametime Server enables direct calls between Sametime client
and telepresence systems, giving users new dialing options
When integrated with Lotus Notes calendaring solution, each user or site can dial into
Meeting Room from computer or from video conference systems
Tight integration with Sametime
Sametime bandwidth management (ST 8.5.2) supported
UC with IBM 12

13. Flexibly Reach People at Any Place
User-based Dialing
Sametime user can launch a multipoint voice or video
call to other Sametime users, and the call is
automatically hosted by RMX. The initiator or receiver
of the call may select the ―preferred device‖ for the call,
including standards-based video systems
Call Initiator Device-based Dialing (with SUT Lite)
With SUT Lite, Sametime user can call audio or
video endpoints directly.
Sametime Server and DMA7000 are SIP trunked,
and direct call between Sametime and telepresence
systems can be made by using SIP number
UC with IBM 13

14. Person based use cases
 ―User Oriented‖ Collaboration
Collaborate with users, instead of devices (no dial-in #'s, passcodes, etc.)
Works seamlessly with online meetings, within chats, etc.
 Use Cases:
I want to launch a call from my buddy list
I want to add audio/video to a chat
I want to add audio/video to a web collaboration session
I want to add audio/video to another presence-aware IBM application.
 Requires: Sametime Standard with TCSPI integration to RMX (Sametime 8.5.1+)
UC with IBM 14

15. Sametime with Polycom RMX Conferencing
UC with IBM 15

16. Device based use cases
 ―Device Oriented‖ Collaboration
Direct dial any device
Can be another endpoint, or a bridge requesting a passcode
 Use Cases:
I want to call from a Sametime client to a tel #
I want to call from a Sametime client to a VMR
I want to call from a Sametime client to a SIP URI or E.164,
 Requires: Sametime SUT Lite SIP trunk to DMA with integration to RMX or trunk to other PBX.
UC with IBM 16

17. Calendar integration with Lotus Notes*
Single Click Solution for Scheduled Calls
Administrator can leverage corporate
AD/LDAP and DMA to enable each
Lotus Notes (or iNotes) user to
schedule Polycom-hosted multipoint
voice/video calls by simply clicking on
the check box, using standard Domino
functionality
Each user gains instantly an easy way
to calendar a video call through Lotus
Notes
*IBM Service is required
UC with IBM 17

18. Calendar Integration with Lotus Notes
Simple way to enable voice and video calls for scheduled meetings
Conference organizer Conference Participants
Conference Organizer Desktop Participants
• Click on the Meeting Room ID and launch a call (SUT Lite feature)
• When scheduling a new meeting, check the box that includes
conference call information.
Conference System Participants
• The video and audio dial-in information is included as part of • Dial VMR number to join the meeting
