The Possibilities of a Strong Video Architecture
A Cisco Medianet provides much more than conventional video solutions – It can transform everyday business processes. Imagine:
- Team members in the U.S. in fast-moving, face-to-face meetings with suppliers in Europe and Asia, reaching decisions in record time
- An employee, time zones away in a comfortable hotel room, viewing high-quality videos on her laptop to prep for a morning appointment
- A branch-office marketing rep calling up an on-demand video that details a coming product launch
- A security staff member in a nighttime parking lot, viewing selected surveillance feeds from around the campus on a smartphone
- Team members in a branch-office conference room, focused on a game-changing all-hands meeting presentation on a wide-screen HD display
- A concerned patient, at home, meeting with her physician in another city as he explains the medical images that he’s displaying on her screen
- A fashion shopper, on her sofa with a laptop, talking to a salesperson as she pages through the fabrics, colors and styles offered by her favorite designers
