Collaborating to Do More With Less
By Kara Wilson, vice president of marketing, Cisco Unified Communications
Collaboration technology is in the midst of a perfect storm. We’re in the worst bear market we’ve seen in decades, yet savvy companies are using the downturn to plan for future growth and build sustainable competitive barriers. A new technology investment cycle is imminent, and many businesses are already seeking ways to improve worker productivity with reduced resources. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act will invariably facilitate investment and assist companies in developing critical communications infrastructures with applications to grow the business and better serve their constituents. Advancement in technology: green, video, Web 2.0, and mobility along with regulatory change is also impacting how technology is assessed, implemented, and used.
