Cisco TelePresence enables organizations to realize the benefits of business transformation through more effective meetings. Increased productivity through reduced time in making decisions can accelerate time-to-market and implementation of corporate strategies. The collaborative nature of TelePresence helps facilitate cohesive internal teams and speed the integration of employees into the corporate culture. Customer intimacy can also be greatly enhanced though frequent face-to-face meetings. Enterprise organizations can scale and optimize the use of expertise throughout the organization, resulting in a more nimble business, while simultaneously reducing travel expenses. Reduced travel also helps maintain a positive corporate image by decreasing an organizations carbon footprint-as social and government pressures mount to address the growing concern of global warming.
