Cisco Collaboration Summit 2011 Wrap-Up

Collaboration and communication technologies continue to evolve, and Cisco aims to stay at the cutting edge, as well as to make new solutions accessible to the large group of organizations outside the large enterprise space. 

Announcements included:

• CallWay, a cloud-based multi-point video conferencing coordination solution, to simplify the video conferencing experience across a wide variety of video endpoints (telepresence, executive, IP video phone, mobile device, and desktop clients).
• WebEx  basic edition, allowing up to three users to collaborate for free using VOIP audio, video, IM, presence, desktop sharing, and cloud storage.
• Persistent spaces in WebEx (hosted or on-premise), enabling collaboration spaces to be used before, during, and after the interactive WebEx session itself.

With Cisco continuing to push the envelope with rich-yet-simple collaboration and communication technologies, Info-Tech customers will benefit both from Cisco’s innovations as well as from the inevitable responses from Cisco’s competitors.
