With Polycom CMA, organizations can video-enable individuals and groups in conference rooms, personal workspaces, desktops, and mobile devices using a single highly scalable application. The enterprise benefits from improved communication that speeds decision making and seamlessly extends the power of video to all parts of the organization.

At the core of the solution is the Polycom CMA Server, a standards-based management application enabling enterprise-class directory services, central provisioning, and management for thousands of video endpoints, including both high definition telepresence and legacy video conferencing systems. The benefit to IT management includes faster and simpler deployments, centralized control of video assets, and widescale turnkey updates.

For users, the Polycom CMA Desktop is a PC-based application for communicating over video and voice and sharing content. Easy to learn and highly intuitive, the CMA Desktop allows enterprise users to simply point and click to collaborate with colleagues over video any place, any time. Integrated presence-awareness allows users to verify contact availability and status, and seamless LDAP directory integration both simplifies management and ensures contact list accuracy. Centrally deployed through the CMA Server, CMA Desktop clients are managed within the same video ecosystem as telepresence and tradition room-based video conferencing systems, providing a powerful solution that spans all video client environments. CMA Desktop clients are included as a component to the CMA Server, with licensing based on the industry-recognized CAL (Client Access License) deployment model. CMA Desktop clients range from 200 up to 5000 clients.
