Cisco’s Connected Workplace concept, launched at our San Jose headquarters, provides a flexible working environment through the innovative use of Cisco Unified Communications, wireless network access, and virtual private networks (VPNs). Employees can work at a variety of locations—their desks, conference rooms, outdoor environments, home, and remote locations equipped with networking capability. This enables them to be productive wherever they are.
Cisco Connected Workplace also boosts workplace efficiency by accommodating up to twice as many employees than can be accommodated in a traditional office environment. As a result, the Connected Workplace environment has reduced per-capita use of equipment and IT infrastructure.
By implementing Cisco Connected Workplace, businesses can:
- Reduce material and equipment costs
- Save electricity and lower greenhouse gas emissions
- Cut construction costs and land use requirements
- Lower traffic congestion and alleviate the strains of commuting
Cisco Connected Workplace is currently being implemented in Cisco offices worldwide. Every day, 25 percent of our workforce takes advantage of mobile technology, innovative workspaces, and flexible schedules.
