Polycom increases presence amongst top ranked companies in
Asia, moving from 70 to 74 per cent on Forbes Asia Fab 50 list
-- India-based Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, a Forbes Asia Fab
50 company, demonstrates competitive advantages enabled by video collaboration
This year's prestigious Forbes Asia Fab 50 listing shows an
increase in the number of top Asian companies using Polycom voice and video
collaboration solutions for more effective collaboration. As the global leader
in open, standards-based unified communications and collaboration (UC&C),
Polycom now counts 74 per cent of the companies listed amongst its customers;
an increase from 70 per cent of Forbes' 2012 list.
Published in August, The Asia Fab 50 now in its ninth year
is created by Forbes through analysis of a pool of 1,220 companies with at
least $3 billion in revenue or market capitalisation. This year's list features
50 companies based in 11 Asia Pacific countries, and of these 37 are Polycom
customers. This figure has increased from last year's list that featured 35
Polycom customers. The rise also reflects the recent analysis presented by
Wainhouse Research and Polycom that shows the use of video conferencing as an
enterprise productivity tool is growing, with 94 per cent of video users saying
that video collaboration increases productivity.
Twenty-two new companies made it onto this year's Forbes
list and of the total 50 named, a regional spread of businesses are
represented. Chinese companies dominate the overall list with 20 whilst 11
Indian companies are included. The other countries featured are Australia, Hong
Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and
Thailand.
A diverse combination of industries is represented by the
companies listed reflecting that the uptake of video as a tool for
collaboration transcends the business spectrum. Video is used to support
day-to-day business functions such as staff, partner and customer meetings,
training and recruitment, as well as a wide range of applications specific to
company sectors and industries.
One Polycom customer featured in the Forbes Asia Fab 50 list
this year is leading India-based global pharmaceutical company, Dr. Reddy's
Laboratories. The company recently deployed several video-based solutions to
improve its business processes. This includes enabling executives and employees
across two major corporate offices in Hyderabad, India, and Bridgewater, New
Jersey, USA to collaborate face-to-face via secure, high-definition video.
Atanu Roy, Chief Technical Officer at Dr. Reddy's said:
"Our company's global demand for instant communication across distances,
particularly between R&D teams to make decisions quickly, meant that we
required more effective and efficient ways to collaborate. With Polycom video,
we are getting the most comprehensive UC infrastructure that meets our needs to
deliver wide-scale communications across the company, enabling our research and
technical teams to meet across any distance and collaborate securely and
instantly for vital consultation and decision-making."
Michael Alp, President of Polycom Asia Pacific said:
"The continued prevalence of our customers in this year's Asia Fab 50 list
demonstrates the forward-thinking strategies they are employing to do business
in the region and globally. Video collaboration is the new way of working in a
mobile, social, and global world. Businesses are gaining their competitive
advantage by building a strong unified communications and collaboration
strategy that includes voice, video and content sharing."
