9 December 2009

ZUG, Switzerland and PLEASANTON, Calif. - Dec 09, 2009 : Mining group Xstrata has chosen to implement high definition telepresence solutions from Polycom, Inc. (Nasdaq: PLCM), the global leader in telepresence, video and voice communications solutions, to increase the efficiency of its internal and executive communications efforts.
Xstrata with its 40,000 employees worldwide at very disparate places, sometimes off the beaten track, is leveraging Polycom telepresence for face-to-face collaboration to significantly cut down on travel required and increase productivity. Polycom's solutions have delivered travel savings and work efficiencies with a better work-life balance for employees and executives as well as reinforced the company's commitment to reducing its environmental impact. Xstrata saw a quick user uptake and a rapid return on investment (ROI) just within a few months.
Besides many other applications, Xstrata is using video for its budget meetings between eight different sites of its nickel business across the globe. Through video, the company can now save US$60,000 in flights and associated travel cost alone, just for one meeting.
The solutions deployed include Polycom HDX 4000™ personal telepresence for premier conferencing at the desktop level, Polycom HDX 9000™ room telepresence which delivers true HD video, audio and content-sharing capabilities as well as the Polycom RMX 2000™ conferencing infrastructure platform that enables multi-site conferences and unified voice and video conferencing capabilities.
