Austin, Texas (PRWEB) February 19, 2014

Vyopta Incorporated, the cloud video applications company today announced that Polycom, Inc. PLCM, the global leader in open, standards-based unified collaboration, has named Vyopta the recipient of the Polycom Technology Partner Innovations Award. This award recognizes the organization that most effectively delivers new solutions for the Polycom® RealPresence® Platform. Vyopta received the award for its unique video customer engagement solutions that simplify and automate how organizations interact with customers, patients, and employees.

Polycom honored partners during TEAM Polycom 2014, the company's annual partner conference, held in Vancouver, Canada, February 11-13, 2014. Polycom recognized honorees based on execution, performance and overall commitment to co-developing innovative solutions.

“We are pleased to receive this award from Polycom for innovation in video customer engagement solutions” said Alfredo Ramirez, President and CEO of Vyopta. “We believe customer engagement is the next ‘killer app' for video. With the global e-commerce market in 2013 exceeding $1.2 trillion in sales, there is still a significant opportunity for sales growth through utilizing video in high-touch, human interactions for the sale of complex products and services. We want to be on the leading edge of a business transformation movement for how organizations use video to engage with customers.”

“Technology partners are a key component of Polycom's partner ecosystem. They are successfully leveraging Polycom's API's to bring collaboration into any environment. Our combined efforts are making video collaboration accessible for a wider array of companies,” said Ted Colton, Group Vice President, Strategic Alliances, Polycom.

Vyopta has redefined customer engagement with guided, web-based video interactions for on-demand and scheduled access to subject matter specialists. Traditional video contact centers simply route calls to ‘the next available representative'. Vyopta solutions deliver a significantly richer customer experience by using virtual meeting room technology by Polycom to connect customers with one or more specialists, immediately, based on the customers' defined product or service needs.
