An exciting transformation is under way at Cisco that is changing the way we work together. We are combining the power of Web 2.0 technologies with applications, services, and business processes to create an integrated, next-generation workforce experience that supports greater communication and collaboration across Cisco.

Collaboration Tools
New tools enable Cisco employees and customers to connect and collaborate both internally and externally, combining voice, video, graphics, and text to bring people together with information, and with each other, at the right times.  These new tools combine instant messaging with video and telephony, wikis and blogs, and selected situation-relevant web and text information, for both immediate and asynchronous information sharing.

Connected Real Estate
Today's workers spend more time collaborating in groups and less time working alone. New networking and collaboration technologies, as well as new approaches to space design and management, can make collaboration easier and more productive. Cisco Workplace Resources and Cisco IT work together to bring new levels of mobility, flexibility, and collaboration capabilities to Cisco employees.

TelePresence
Cisco TelePresence creates unique, in-person experiences between people in their work and personal lives over the network. The Cisco TelePresence Meeting solution enables greater productivity, faster decision-making, and improved communication and collaboration between Cisco employees worldwide.

Video
Video technologies provide face-to-face interaction among people worldwide, reducing travel times and costs.  Live streaming video is used for one-way and two-way corporate meetings, while streaming, asynchronous on-demand video files enable flexible global training. Video- conferencing solutions support more productive meetings among Cisco employees and partners.
