Cisco incorporates technology from Jabber, Inc., into its mix of on-premises and cloud-based collaboration services. This means you can trust Cisco’s robust collaboration platforms to deliver ubiquitous, interoperable, and always-available presence and messaging services.

Take advantage of the robust aggregation, federation, and policy controls built into the presence and messaging functions of Jabber Extensible Communications Platform (Jabber XCP), Cisco Unified Presence, Cisco Unified Personal Communicator, and Cisco WebEx Connect IM.  Each of these services embeds Jabber technology to provide a highly scalable architecture that supports the aggregation of presence information across different devices, users, and applications.

Communicate securely with anyone, anywhere with an IM system that uses the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP), including Microsoft Office Communications Server, IBM Sametime, AOL AIM, Google, and Yahoo.

Why XMPP

XMPP is a set of open XML technologies for real-time online communication, such as instant messaging, presence, multiparty chat, voice and video calls, and online collaboration. The core technology behind XMPP was refined in the Jabber open-source community in 2000 and formalized by the IETF in 2002 and 2003.
