Telepresence Solutions for Manufacturing

Cisco TelePresence helps reinvent the manufacturing industry. Collaboration using Cisco TelePresence allows manufacturers to create a more efficient supply chain, reduce time to market for new products, improve customer satisfaction, increase revenue and reduce costs. To accelerate product development, revenues and market share, today's manufacturers continue to invest in worldwide R&D and production facilities. Consequently, they must be able to facilitate effective communications between globally distributed design centers, account teams, partners, and suppliers. Cisco TelePresence provides a breakthrough technology for remote collaboration that allows distributed participants to interact with colleagues just as they do at in-person meetings. In manufacturing businesses, this level of collaboration has demonstrated a reduction in new product and service time-to-market.
