"We generated record revenues and growth accelerated in the second quarter, which I believe validates Polycom's strategic investments and confirms that our gotomarket strategy and innovative solutions are aligned with our customers and partners," said Andrew Miller, Polycom president and CEO. "The Polycom Open Collaboration Network, which includes other technology leaders such as Microsoft, IBM, and HP, is already driving significant revenues for our company by providing a beautifully integrated solution for our enterprise and public sector customers. We are also gaining traction with our service provider partners, as cloudbased delivery is increasingly being chosen by enterprises and other customers looking to increase their output and productivity through businesstobusiness unified collaboration solutions. As a result, we believe the network effect for video collaboration is becoming a reality, enabling a further extension of our solutions into smalltomedium businesses and, over time, into consumer and mobility."
"We generated significant, broadbased growth across our theatres globally, driven by record levels of customer demand and strength in the emerging markets. Importantly, we continued to experience sales productivity gains, which contributed to our revenue ramp and further improvements in our operating margin. The strategic investment plan that we outlined over the last three quarters continues to yield betterthanplanned results through our gotomarket focus, breakthrough innovations, and strategic partnerships. We believe we are well positioned to continue capitalising on what is proving to be an incredible market opportunity by leveraging the best development and sales engine in the industry. I am confident that we can continue to deliver strong growth, consistent market gains, and expanding operating margins,” concluded Miller.
