Cisco has launched new solutions aimed at making it easier for people to collaborate anywhere, and anytime in the post-Personal Computer (PC) era.
The solutions which include desktop and mobile Cisco Jabber collaboration applications and Cisco TelePresence systems, make it easy for users to move from one collaboration solution to the next, in order to promote business growth, innovation and productivity.
The offerings, including a new immersive TelePresence system with optimised collaboration capabilities, are completely integrated, giving customers more mobility options while extending the reach of the Telepresence investment.
Said Rechchad, general manager, Cisco Nigeria, said “Increasingly, people expect freedom of choice in how and where they work, and that includes having access to a variety of integrated collaboration solutions and interoperable end points.
IT managers are looking to provide highly secure, enterprise-class options that enable employees to interact across a broad range of tools whether via video, PCs, tablets, or smartphones.”
To expand customers’ collaboration capability, he said that the company is extending the Cisco Jabber solution to the iPad and Windows Operating System (OS), building on its extensive Jabber portfolio for Android, iOS, Mac, BlackBerry and Cisco Cius tablets.
He said with this development, Cisco is enabling Jabber customers to collaborate from anywhere and across the most popular OS, utilising high-definition video, voice, presence, instant messaging, desktop sharing, conferencing and visual voicemail. “Cisco is also expanding native integration between Jabber and TelePresence, giving mobile users a way to initiate and connect into a TelePresence session whether in the office or on the go,” he said.
With a new three-screen immersive platform, the Cisco TelePresence TX9000 Series, one of the collaborative solutions also introduced by Cisco, delivers high-quality video experience along with advanced collaboration capabilities, riding on Cisco’s wide array of TelePresence endpoints for all customer segments.
He noted that the TX9000 integrates with other collaboration tools like such as Cisco WebEx with one touch simplicity and is also designed to be interoperable with all standards-based endpoints from other vendors.
