They are using it as a Primary voice platform for communication with their peers as well as clientele. The installation is said to be saving over $500,000/year for LA Fitness and is helping them deliver improved customer service to their clients.

North America sports club network LA Fitness implemented Microsoft and Polycom UC solutions as its primary voice platform, and found it provides better quality, reliability and fault-tolerance than its previous mix of traditional private branch exchange (PBX) telephony systems and an open-source voice over IP (VoIP) solution. Implementing the Microsoft and Polycom UC solutions is also saving LA Fitness over $500,000 annually and improved customer service.

“The Microsoft and Polycom UC solutions allowed us to replace our existing telephone system with a more reliable, fuller featured solution, with the added benefit of truly unified communications,” stated Chief Information Officer, George Bedar, of LA Fitness. “Essentially, we solved all of our telecommunication problems, with real-time instant messaging, presence, conferencing and integration with our other line of business applications. We also federated some of these applications with our partners and vendors, enabling even broader team collaboration and greater efficiencies.”

The combination of Microsoft Lync Server and Polycom video conferencing opens up a new gateway of possibilities for corporate visionaries. Together they are offering high-definition, compatible, and standards based complete unified communication solutions for voice transmission, video conferencing, and collaboration.
