Identify, locate, and connect with experts for advisory services whenever and wherever you need them using high-quality audio and video for a compelling communications experience.
Combine Cisco endpoints optimized to facilitate in-person interaction with network-based directory, presence, and collaboration capabilities. This helps organizations share expertise efficiently with customers, employees, and partners.
Benefits
- Simplify the ability to identify subject-matter experts and quickly contact the most available resources through employee directories with expertise tagging and presence capabilities.
- Create a virtual pool of experts and specialists, whether they are co-located or dispersed globally.
- Help ensure effective collaboration by interacting with experts instantly in a personalized, easy-to-use, virtualized, face-to-face manner.
- Increase teamwork by making employees easily accessible to shorten decision times and avoid duplication of work.
Proof Points

- Cross-sales increased from 1.4 to 2.5 products per customer with video in the interaction instead of audio-only capabilities. (Forrester)
