         (1)  Based on the number of Accord Ordinary Shares outstanding on
November 30, 2000 as represented by Accord in the Preliminary Proxy Statement
filed by it on November 30, 2000.

<PAGE>

ITEM 1.  SECURITY AND ISSUER.

         This statement on Schedule 13D (this "STATEMENT") relates to the
ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.01 per share, of Accord Networks Ltd. ("ACCORD
ORDINARY SHARES"), an Israeli corporation ("ACCORD" or "ISSUER"). The principal
executive offices of Accord are located at 9040 Roswell Road, Suite 450,
Atlanta, Georgia 30350.

ITEM 2.  IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

         (a)-(c), (f) The name of the corporation filing this statement is
Polycom, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("POLYCOM" or the "REPORTING PERSON"). The
Reporting Person's principal business is the development, manufacturing and
marketing of communications equipment enabling enterprise users to access
broadband network services and leverage increased bandwidth to more conveniently
conduct voice, video and data communications. The address of the principal
executive offices of the Reporting Person is 1565 Barber Lane, Milpitas, CA
95035. Set forth on Schedule A is the name of each of the Reporting Person's
directors and executive officers as of the date hereof, along with the present
principal occupation or employment of such directors and executive officers,
their respective citizenship and the name, principal business and address of any
corporation or other organization other than the Reporting Person in which such
employment is conducted.

         (d)-(e) During the last five years neither the Reporting Person nor, to
the Reporting Person's knowledge, any person named in SCHEDULE A to this
statement, has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic
violations or similar misdemeanors). Also during the last five years neither the
Reporting Person nor, to the Reporting Person's knowledge, any person named in
SCHEDULE A to this statement, was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which such person
was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future
violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activity subject to, federal or state
securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
Consequently, neither the Reporting Person nor, to the Reporting Person's
knowledge, any person named on SCHEDULE A hereto is required to disclose legal
proceedings pursuant to Item 2(d) or 2(e) of Schedule 13D.

ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

         On December 5, 2000, the Reporting Person, through its wholly-owned
subsidiary Merger Sub Ltd., an Israeli corporation ("MERGER SUB"), agreed to
acquire Accord by means of a merger (the "MERGER") pursuant to the terms of the
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of December 5, 2000, (the "MERGER
AGREEMENT"), by and among the Reporting Person, Merger Sub and Accord, and
subject to the conditions set forth therein (including approval by shareholders
of Accord). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and
into Accord and Accord will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Reporting
Person. A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached hereto as EXHIBIT 1 and is
incorporated herein by this reference. The Merger is subject to the approval of
the Merger Agreement by the shareholders of Accord, the expiration of the
applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act
of 1976, as amended, and the satisfaction or waiver of certain other conditions
as more fully described in the Merger Agreement.

         As an inducement to the Reporting Person's entering into the Merger
Agreement and in consideration thereof, entities affiliated with Nitzanim Fund
(1933) Ltd. and Concord K.T. Investment Partners Ltd., Advanced Technology
Ventures, Jules D. Vigne, Sigi Gavash, Phil Keenan, Matty Karp, Dave Gallagher,
Jos C. Henkens, Amnon Schachar and Jeff Bradley, each of whom are shareholders
of Accord (the "VOTING AGREEMENT SHAREHOLDERS"), entered into voting agreements,
each dated as of December 5, 2000

<PAGE>
CUSIP NO. MO1690102                  SCHEDULE 13D                  Page 4 of 11


(each a "VOTING AGREEMENT," and collectively, the "VOTING AGREEMENTS") with
the Reporting Person, which agreements are described in more detail in Item 6
below. Pursuant to each Voting Agreement, the applicable Voting Agreement
Shareholder has agreed to vote, and has granted the Reporting Person an
irrevocable proxy (the "IRREVOCABLE PROXY") to vote, all of such Voting
Agreement Shareholder's Accord Ordinary Shares in favor of adoption of the
Merger Agreement. No capital of the Reporting Person is expected to be
expended by the Reporting Person in connection with the exercise of its
rights with respect to the 6,750,042 Accord Ordinary Shares covered by the
Voting Agreements. The Voting Agreement and the Irrevocable Proxy are
attached hereto as EXHIBIT 2 and are incorporated herein by this reference.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

         (a) - (b) As further described in Item 3 above and Item 6 below,
this statement relates to the Merger of Merger Sub, a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Reporting Person, with and into Accord in a statutory merger pursuant
to the provisions of the Israeli Companies Law 5759-1999. At the effective
time of the Merger, the separate existence of Merger Sub will cease and
Accord will continue as the surviving corporation (the "SURVIVING
CORPORATION") and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Reporting Person.
Holders of outstanding Accord Ordinary Shares will receive, in exchange for
each Accord Ordinary Share held by them, 0.3065 of a share (the "EXCHANGE
RATIO") of common stock, par value $0.0005 per share, of the Reporting Person
("POLYCOM COMMON STOCK"). Outstanding options and outstanding warrants to
purchase Accord Ordinary Shares will be assumed by the Reporting Person at
the same Exchange Ratio in the manner set forth in the Merger Agreement. The
foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of
the Merger Agreement attached as EXHIBIT 1 to this Schedule 13D, and is
incorporated herein by this reference.

         As an inducement to the Reporting Person to enter into the Merger
Agreement, and as further described in Item 3 above and Item 6 below, each
Voting Agreement Shareholder, has, by executing a Voting Agreement, agreed to
vote the Accord Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by such Voting Agreement
Shareholder (including any shares of Accord Ordinary Shares that such
shareholder acquires after the time it entered into the Voting
Agreement)(collectively, the "SHARES") owned by it in favor of the adoption
of the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the Voting Agreements, each Voting
Agreement Shareholder also irrevocably appointed the members of the board of
directors of the Reporting Person, and each of them, as sole and exclusive
attorneys and proxies, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, as
his, hers or its lawful attorney and proxy. Such Irrevocable Proxies give the
proxy holders the limited right to vote the Shares in favor of the adoption
of the Merger Agreement. The Voting Agreement Shareholders retain the right
to vote their Shares in their discretion with respect to matters other than
those identified in the Voting Agreements. The names of the Voting Agreement
Shareholders, the number of shares of Accord Ordinary Shares, which, to the
Reporting Person's knowledge, are beneficially owned by each such shareholder
and the percentage ownership of Accord Ordinary Shares by each such
shareholder is set forth in SCHEDULE B hereto which is hereby incorporated by
this reference. The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the copy of the form of Voting Agreement attached as EXHIBIT 2
to this Schedule 13D, and is incorporated herein by this reference.

         As a further inducement to the Reporting Person's entering into the
Merger Agreement, affiliates of Accord entered into affiliate agreements
("AFFILIATE AGREEMENTS") with the Reporting Person, which agreements are
described in more detail in Item 6 below. Pursuant to each Affiliate Agreement,
each affiliate of Accord entering into an Affiliate Agreement has agreed not to
sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any

<PAGE>

Polycom Common Stock issued in the Merger unless certain conditions are met.
The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy
of the form of Affiliate Agreement attached as Exhibit 3 to this Schedule
13D, and is incorporated herein by this reference.

     (c) Not applicable.

     (d) Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon consummation of the Merger,
the current members of the Merger Sub Board of Directors will become members
of the Board of Directors of the Surviving Corporation. No directors on
Accord's Board of Directors will continue as directors of either the
Surviving Corporation, Merger Sub or the Reporting Person. In addition, upon
consummation of the Merger, it is anticipated that certain officers of Accord
will continue to perform management roles in Accord, although they may or may
not be Surviving Corporation officers. The individuals who will continue in
these management positions and the offices they will hold has not been
finalized.

     (e) See the discussion of the Merger in Item 3 above.

     (f) Other than as a result of the Merger described in Item 3 above, not
applicable.

     (g) At the effective time of the Merger, except as set forth in the Merger
Agreement, the Articles of Association of Accord shall be amended and restated
to be the same in substance as the Articles of Association of Merger Sub as in
effect immediately prior to the Merger (except that the name of Accord shall
remain unchanged), and said amended and restated Articles of Association shall
be the Articles of Association of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter
amended.

     (h) Upon consummation of the Merger, Accord Ordinary Shares will be
de-listed from the Nasdaq Stock Market.

     (i) Upon consummation of the Merger, Accord Ordinary Shares will become
eligible for termination of registration under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "ACT"), pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act.

     (j) Other than described above, the Reporting Person currently has no plan
or proposal which relate to, or may result in, any of the matters listed in
Items 4(a) - (j) of Schedule 13D (although the Reporting Person reserves the
right to develop such plans or proposals).

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

     (a) - (b) As a result and subject to the terms of the Voting Agreements
and the Irrevocable Proxies granted pursuant thereto, the Reporting Person
has the sole power to vote an aggregate of 6,750,042 Accord Ordinary Shares
for the limited purposes described in Item 4 above. Such shares constitute
approximately 32.9% of the issued and outstanding Accord Ordinary Shares
based on the number of shares outstanding at November 30, 2000, as
represented by Accord in the Preliminary Proxy Statement filed by it on
November 30, 2000. Other than with respect to the provisions of the Voting
Agreements, the Reporting Person does not have the right to vote the Shares
on any other matters. The Reporting Person does not share voting power of any
additional Accord Ordinary Shares with regard to the limited purposes set
forth in Item 4 above and in the Voting Agreements. The Reporting Person does
not have any power to dispose or direct the disposition of any shares of
Accord Ordinary Shares. To the knowledge of the Reporting Person, no Accord
Ordinary Shares are beneficially owned by any of the persons named in
SCHEDULE A.

<PAGE>
CUSIP NO. MO1690102                  SCHEDULE 13D                  Page 6 of 11


         (c) Except as described herein, the Reporting Person has not effected
any transaction in Accord Ordinary Shares during the past 60 days and, to the
Reporting Person's knowledge, none of the persons named in SCHEDULE A has
effected any transaction in Accord Ordinary Shares during the past 60 days.

         (d) Not applicable.

         (e) Not applicable.

ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDING OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO
SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

         Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and subject to the conditions set
forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into Accord and Accord will
become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Reporting Person. Upon consummation
of the Merger, Merger Sub will cease to exist as a separate corporation and
all of the business, assets, liabilities and obligations of Merger Sub will
be merged into Accord with Accord remaining as the Surviving Corporation. As
a result of the Merger, each outstanding Accord Ordinary Share, other than
shares owned by Accord (i.e. Accord treasury shares), Merger Sub, the
Reporting Person or any wholly-owned subsidiary of Accord or the Reporting
Person, will be converted into the right to receive 0.3065 of a share of
Polycom Common Stock. Outstanding options and warrants to purchase Accord
Ordinary Shares will be assumed by the Reporting Person at the same Exchange
Ratio. The foregoing summary of the Merger is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the copy of the Merger Agreement included as EXHIBIT 1 to this
Schedule 13D and incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.

         Upon certain circumstances described in Section 7.3 of the Merger
Agreement, Accord will be obligated to pay to the Reporting Person a breakup fee
equal to $9,500,000 (the "BREAKUP FEE"). Payment of the Breakup Fee will not be
in lieu of damages in the event of fraud or a willful breach by Accord of the
Merger Agreement.

         In exercising their rights to vote the Shares as lawful attorneys
and proxies of the Voting Agreement Shareholders pursuant to the Voting
Agreements, the members of the board of directors of the Reporting Person,
and each of them, as sole and exclusive attorneys and proxies, with full
power of substitution and resubstitution, will be limited, at every Accord
shareholders meeting and every written consent in lieu of such meeting,
voting the shares in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement. The Voting
Agreement Shareholders may vote their shares themselves on all other matters.
The Voting Agreements and the Irrevocable Proxies terminate upon the earlier
to occur of (i) such date and time as the Merger shall become effective in
accordance with the terms and provisions of the Merger Agreement or (ii) such
date as the Merger Agreement shall be terminated in accordance with Article
VII thereof (the "EXPIRATION DATE"). Each Voting Agreement Shareholder has
agreed not to transfer his or her Shares prior to the Expiration Date, except
to transferees who agree to be bound by the Voting Agreement. Moreover, each
Voting Agreement Shareholder has granted the members of the board of
directors of the Reporting Person, and each of them, as sole and exclusive
attorneys and proxies, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, an
irrevocable proxy to vote the shares beneficially owned by the Voting
Agreement Shareholder in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement. The terms
of the Voting Agreements are more fully described in the Voting Agreement and
the Irrevocable Proxy, attached hereto as EXHIBIT 2. Each of the Voting
Agreement and the Irrevocable Proxy is incorporated herein by this reference.

CUSIP NO. MO1690102                  SCHEDULE 13D                  Page 7 of 11


         According to the terms of the Affiliate Agreements, each affiliate has
been advised that it may be deemed to be an affiliate of Polycom following the
Merger as the term is used for the purposes of Rule 144 of the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and for purposes of
Accounting Series Releases 130 and 135. Each affiliate agreed that from 30 days
before the anticipated completion of the Merger until the day that Polycom
announces financial results covering at least 30 days of combined operations,
the affiliate will not sell, exchange, transfer, pledge, distribute, make any
gift or otherwise dispose of or grant any option, establish any "short" or put
equivalent position with respect to Accord Ordinary Shares.

         Other than the Merger Agreement, Voting Agreements and the Affiliate
Agreements, to the knowledge of the Reporting Person, there are no contracts,
arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the
persons named in Item 2 and between such persons and any person with respect to
any securities of Accord, including but not limited to transfer or voting of any
of the securities, finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangement,
puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving
or withholding of proxies.

         The descriptions herein of the Merger Agreement, the Voting Agreements
and the Affiliate Agreements are qualified in their entirety by reference to
such agreements, copies of which are attached hereto as EXHIBITS 1, 2 and 3
respectively.
