In recent months, Cisco has soared to the top of technology news as the leader in transforming communications technology and services. Cisco has accrued over $33 billion in cash with which it has recently began purchasing market share in emerging technologies, storage, video and communications related divisions.

Although Cisco's focus has always been on switches and routers, for the last couple of years Cisco has reportedly spent almost $5.2 billion each year in Research and Development with astounding results in the development of groundbreaking Telepresence technologies.

Telepresence, a system which provides face-to-face remote collaboration, is an innovative new way companies can enable meeting participants to interact with others remotely. Unlike collaboration tools found on the Internet, TelePresence facilitates face-to-face interaction in high-definition (HD).

Telepresence can be customized to fit any company's communications needs. A touchscreen can be embedded into the table where colleagues are seated which provides a view into the conference area that is shared by everyone at the Telepresence ...
... session. One of the key features of the touchscreen display is that participants can pull in diagrams, photos, and documents. Virtual office supplies like graph paper, calculators and sticky notes can also be accessed. Users can move these items around to write, draw and interact in real time on this unique digital whiteboard.

As the meeting concludes, all of the participant's notes and documents can be exported and saved. If a company is concerned about the initial costs of the features, purchasing used Cisco equipment is a excellent, cost-effective way for a company to affordably use the latest technology.

Telepresence meets the needs of companies who are seeking even more efficient and cost effective ways to bring employees, partners, and customers together from anywhere in the world for networking, nurturing business relationships, finalizing deals, and engaging in crucial discussions.

There are several ways that Telepresence can improve any company's communications:

Be in several places at once, while still increasing productivity

With fewer travel expenses and purchasing used Cisco equipment, companies can cut the cost of doing business.

Company representatives can extensively interact with potential clients, reading facial expressions across the virtual conference table.
Increase sales by bringing in-house experts to the table and facilitating more frequent contact with executives.

Include training, recruiting, and consulting software into any type of meeting.

 Collaborate with partners and suppliers more frequently which gets products to the market more efficiently.
