The first partner to join the VFV Program in the APAC region is Hong Kong-based Deltapath Commerce and Technology Limited.

The company provides a SIP-based PBX platform with prefix-free call-routing that enables users to receive calls wherever they are.

“The VFV Program has helped Deltapath grow substantially, by enabling us to access Polycom technical information and resources, and better leverage Polycom’s superior voice communications solutions – including Polycom’s HD Voice technolgoy – through enhanced integration,” said David Liu, founder and CEO of Deltapath.

Eligibility for the program is dependent on platform vendors performing comprehensive testing in their own lab, as well as testimonials from at least two end user customers that verify successful integrations with the call control platform.

There are no certification costs or annual membership fees associated with the VFV Program.

“The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) was established to promote interoperability amongst devices from multiple vendors, giving end users greater flexibility in choosing solutions to support their business communication and collaboration requirements,” said Peter White, APAC head of voice sales at Polycom.

“The VFV Program is testament to Polycom’s ongoing commitment to platform interoperability and to working with our ecosystem partners to develop solutions based on open standards that are easy for customers to use, deploy and manage.”
