Case Study: Polycom saves over $1 million and boosts collaboration with Microsoft Office 365

Communications innovator uses Office 365 to bring customers and employees closer

Polycom, a telecommunications company specializing in collaboration tools, sought to move away from managing its own servers and infrastructure to provide greater value and new features to its workforce more quickly. The company chose Microsoft as its vendor to overcome these challenges by adopting the Microsoft Enterprise Cloud Suite, which includes Office 365.

Microsoft’s solution provided a full suite of cloud-based tools, including Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, and advanced security features. This migration resulted in significant IT productivity gains, enabling employees with self-service capabilities and freeing IT staff for strategic work. The move to Microsoft Office 365 also delivered substantial cost savings, estimated at over $1 million over three years in hardware and support costs alone.
