High Quality Conferencing with Immediate ROI
?We have been using Polycom SoundStation IP conference phones in our larger conference rooms, and their clarity and ease of use have delivered tangible benefits during our conference calls,? said Michael Smith of Maricopa Property Development. ?The SoundStation IP 5000 is a great fit for our smaller meeting rooms and private offices. It offers the great voice quality I expect from Polycom at a price that is affordable, and being able to conduct high-quality conference calls from our offices and other smaller rooms is improving our productivity.?
?We traditionally relied on desktop speaker phones for conference calls, because we felt that while the sound quality and microphone pickup was superior on high-performance conference phones, they were cost-prohibitive for a business of our size,? said Darren Loher, chief architect of Envysion. ?The SoundStation IP 5000 breaks down barriers in terms of price and performance.
