Cisco Collaborative Customer Experience-Digital Image Management (Cisco CCE-Digital Image Management) optimizes the institution's current WAN connection so as to avoid a network upgrade after deploying Check 21 functionality. By adding Unified Communications, security, a redundant network connection and Wide Area Application Services, the institution will be able to increase service offerings, increase the amount of application traffic, provide high availability for the network at a lower cost, and obtain more throughput across the network without upgrading the existing connection.
