A new study released by Polycom shows that an overwhelming majority of workers in the region find collaboration technologies help them to be more productive and to work smarter.

The survey polled more than 2,000 workers across the region, and looked to understand how companies were using technology to experiment with workplace design, and improve productivity.

Additionally, Singapore workers are leading the region in using collaborative technologies to improve collaboration (77%), increase productivity (70%) and enhance innovation and new idea generation (56%).

It also shows Singapore leading in the use of collaboration technologies in small meeting rooms – or huddle rooms – among countries in Asia Pacific.

On the other hand, the nation’s adoption of video conferencing is still lagging: less than half (41%) of small meeting rooms or huddle spaces in Singapore are video-enabled, in stark contrast to 77% in India, and 74% in China.
