Analyze This
Cisco recently hosted 25+ analysts from Forrester Research for our annual Forrester /Cisco Day. This event, was the first of its kind, as we used a completely new business model to conduct it; instead of having the analysts fly from Boston to San Jose, we used TelePresence and WebEx, to engage both parties in meaningful dialogue with many of Cisco’s executives.
Not only was the dialogue great, but the medium by which it was delivered (TelePresence), really hit the mark. According to George Colony, Forrester’s CEO,
“Despite my reservations, I think that this technology is a winner.”

What are your thoughts on using this technology (TelePresence) as a replacement to face to face analyst meetings?

In all seriousness, this was one of the best, most intimate sessions we’ve had with Cisco. But it never ceases to amaze me that TelePresence really hits you when you go home and catch yourself thinking “Wow, I forgot that wasn’t in person.”
