Victoria's Parliamentary Secretary for Regional and Rural Development Jaala Pulford joined Polycom chief executive Andy Miller on Monday to launch the vendor's first Melbourne office and demonstration centre.
The office added to Polycom's presence in Sydney, Canberra and Perth, and became the first to deploy the Polycom Open Telepresence Experience High Definition 300 in the Asia Pacific.

Michael Chetner, managing director for Polycom Australia and New Zealand gave an example of how the products were used in the health sector.
"The Loddon Mallee Health Alliance in central Victoria is connecting city based medical specialists with trauma patients in rural areas using high-definition visual communications technology from Polycom," he said.
Parliamentary Secretary Pulford said Polycom was positioning itself in "regional e-learning and e-health telepresence initiatives for a high speed National Broadband Network".
Victoria is also home to the "nerve centre" of NBN Co - a four-story network operations centre.
Polycom's partners include Microsoft, IBM, Avaya, Juniper, and Broadsoft.
