Today's workers are increasingly mobile. Whether in hotels or airports, with customers, in the home office or their car, they rely upon a variety of applications and devices that run over multiple networks and operating systems. In order to collaborate effectively, anytime, anywhere, and on any device, workers need a unified workspace that ensures a consistent communication experience - no matter where their work takes them. Competitive businesses recognize the need to support this new workspace, which has moved beyond the desktop, is increasingly complex and varied, and changes definition throughout the course of a day.

IP communications solutions have proven their ability to help organizations address this challenge, enabling them to realize the benefits of transporting voice, data, and video communications across a common IP infrastructure.

Now with the Cisco Unified Communications system of voice, video, mobility, and IP communications products, these benefits are greater than ever.

The Cisco Unified Communications Solution takes advantage of IP telephony to unify voice, video, data, and mobile applications on fixed and mobile networks, and help ensure easy-to-use, media-rich collaboration experiences.

Instead of simply connecting products, the system provides structure and intelligence that helps organizations securely integrate their communications more closely with business processes, and ensure information reaches recipients quickly, through the most appropriate medium.

Cisco Unified Communications Solutions with built-in network awareness and optimization are "network-centric", enabling them to resolve network concerns that other types of unified communications solutions often overlook, including performance, scalability, reliability, security, and extensibility.

With unified communications and an IP network, businesses can facilitate collaboration - regardless of where, how, or when users are connected.

Designed to ensure fast deployment, minimal administration, and secure operations.
