Cisco TelePresence at work.
So with our large announcement at the end of March, one of the things that is important to understand is what some of the benefits of the new capabilities and products will be. And so, one of the biggest things is what we say about being able to deploy TelePresence really everywhere and for to be able to be used by everyone.
So with number of enhancements to our endpoint portfolio, we have now got products that can be deployed in more spaces, can be deployed faster, can be deployed more cost effectively and that’s really important for companies of all sizes to be able to do that to make sure that the return on investment is really solid and fast.
And then on the application side, what we are doing is extending the value of telepresence going from live face to face meetings to a whole variety of other applications. And what that does is that makes TelePresence a more valuable solution, so you can do all sorts of things with it.
It also means that it’s helping companies implement video and of course, all companies are thinking about how these video — using video more effectively. So how do you use video for live communications, how do you use it for asynchronous communications, how can you expand video from a telepresence room to any device that’s enabled video, that could be everything from a desktop PC to a video — iPhone to, who knows what else would come next.
And so all of these things together is starting to help Cisco to be able to articulate a vision or bring the vision to reality of being able to deploy video in many ways to many locations so that people can use it very flexibly and start to think about video as a really effective communication vehicle for collaboration.
