Video Collaboration

Quality Video Experiences on Any Device to Anyone

As the workforce becomes more mobile and distributed, leaders recognize the benefits and growing impact of video as a key part of business collaboration. Video is becoming more pervasive. Case in point: Today's desktop and mobile devices have a camera, if not two.

You can use video collaboration to improve communications, relationships, and productivity by helping people meet face-to-face over distances. This helps you:

• Improve decision making by reducing communications delay
• Build trust and understanding across time zones within cross-functional and diverse teams
• Reduce employee travel, real-estate costs, and environmental impact
• Encourage information sharing and knowledge building with employees, partners, and customers

It's all part of engagement - making it easy and natural for people to collaborate. Cisco is taking these interactions to the next level. Video collaboration experiences are available anywhere, and are as easy as voice. For many use cases, these experiences are better than being there.

Cisco provides one of the industry's broadest portfolios of purpose-built, high-quality video collaboration solutions. These solutions are designed to meet the needs of all types of workers, whether deskbound or on the road.

Collaborate with Anyone at Any Time

Cisco supports video to and from the desktop, mobile devices, and the boardroom with easier, more transparent interactions and consistent experiences. Affordable solutions provide superior scale through hardware, software, and cloud architecture strategies, and help enable any-to-any video through standards-based technology.

Experience Better Video

Deploy video that is easy to use, deploy, maintain, and integrate. Users get intuitive interactions, less dependence on IT, and a single identity across all devices. IT gets unified call-control and management platforms to ease administration, speed deployment, and simplify troubleshooting. It's all based on an integrated end-to-end architecture that uses the intelligent network for highly secure, reliable, more comprehensive, and overall better user experiences.

Achieve More with Video Collaboration

Use video to accomplish what you cannot in person. Improve productivity by meeting with people in multiple countries in one day, or with hundreds of people at once – wherever you are. Attend meetings on your own time, replay important material, and easily navigate on keywords and speakers.
