Boost Productivity with Adaptive Workspaces

You can gain significant productivity improvements for every person in your organization with new and enhanced solutions in Cisco Unified Communications that:

  • Extend presence, instant messaging, video, click-to-call, and web conferencing to more clients: People at their desks and on the move can reach others on the first try and escalate instant messaging sessions into phone conversations, video calls, or web conferences.
  • Enable impromptu voice, video, and web conferencing: Workers everywhere can have virtual "in-person" meetings that improve productivity and accelerate issue resolution.
  • Simplify voicemail and unified messaging management. Your company can achieve productivity improvements of up to 60 minutes per user per day.
  • Enhance personalization and productivity in every workspace with widgets: Workers can click to call directly from desktop applications and the web browser. They can also view, listen, and respond to messages without dialing into the corporate voicemail box.
  • Extend the productivity benefits of presence to customer interactions: Your company's contact center agents can use presence-enabled routing to link customers with subject matter experts, wherever they are in the enterprise.
