Plantronics and Polycom are now "Better Together” as one company!

I’ve been looking forward to this day for a long time now and I couldn’t be more excited to share that it’s official: Plantronics and Polycom are now "Better Together” as one new company! 

Today marks the start of a new chapter for both of our companies.Together we are positioned to build a world where we can listen, collaborate, dream, and create.

Both of our teams have navigated our changing industries over the years and bring similar cultures of quality and service, deep engineering talent, and clear communications. We’ve come through the waves of market changes to a tipping point where we are better positioned together than we were before on our own. That tipping point is driven by the convergence of two critical changes. First, the move to the cloud for unified communications means that employees encounter more solutions than ever and need a more consistent and predictable user experience, regardless of the cloud platform. And second, the expectations that employees bring to their work environment are heavily influenced by the ease and comfort they have with their personal devices. Together, these two market forces create a critical need for one company to focus on the experience—and that is what we are uniquely positioned to do.

Both Plantronics and Polycom have led the way in designing collaboration technology that people actually want to use, from wearables that fit in with our individual personal style to sleek conference phones that fit in with our modern workplaces. This technology lives in our personal space, directly on our bodies or right next to us at our desk or conference table. With our two companies combined, we can deliver communication and collaboration experiences for every environment, workspace, and worker. Wherever communication technology touches a human, we will make their experience better.  And in the process, we can create opportunities and value for our customers and partners that no one else can. 

Today is just the tip of the iceberg. I look forward to sharing more with you as we begin this journey to unlock human potential and create a world where experiences are tailored for people and enabled by technology that ‘just works’. l know from experience that I can promise “The best is yet to come!”
