RealPresence Platform

RealPresence Platform is a family of video conferencing software from Poly, now part of HP. The desktop app runs on PC and Mac and extends meeting-room style video to staff working away from the office. It is aimed at larger organisations that manage many users from one place.

Main features

• Desktop video app: a Windows and Mac client with high-definition video and content sharing.
• Encrypted calls: communications are protected so that conversations stay private.
• Central management: a resource manager lets administrators control very large numbers of installed apps from a single web interface.
• Interoperability: the software works alongside existing installed video infrastructure and supports common standards such as H.264 and SIP.
• Private deployment: the related HP Poly line includes on-premises, cloud and hybrid options for privacy-conscious organisations.

Who it serves

Enterprises with mobile or remote staff, including organisations such as emergency services that need people to stay connected.
