"Less Is More" as Cisco Completely Reimagines Flagship Three-Screen Video Conferencing Technology - Seite 2

- Lower TCO. Its total cost of ownership is much lower than previous and competitive offerings, thanks in part to the fact that the IX5000 series requires less bandwidth and power, zero room remediation and half the time to install. The IX5000 measures just the width of a notebook -- less than eight inches wide -- so it can fit in any standard elevator and through any standard office door, even when still wrapped in its packaging. And its simple, thoughtful design means it can be set up by two people in eight hours -- half the time of its predecessor and significantly less than that of competitors. Lower TCO means customers can deploy the IX5000 series well beyond the boardroom, so that other project teams can take advantage of Cisco's no compromises video experiences.

- Designed to delight. The IX5000 series is full of small details intended to help people get down to business faster. For instance, as our design team watched customers use our older technology, our design team noticed that people spent several minutes finding adapters to connect their laptops to the video system to present content. The team addressed this in two ways: first, with Cisco's new WebEx® integration with TelePresence™, you can present without any cables -- you simply open your laptop, connect to Wi-Fi and start presenting. For meetings where WebEx for TelePresence is not used, the team designed a universal video adapter -- another industry first -- that sleekly retracts into the IX5000's tabletop when not in use. The adapter has connections for any device you may be looking to connect -- Mac or PC -- so you have less time wasted and more time for a great, dongle-free meeting.

Video collaboration helps us bring people together to make better decisions faster, which is why over the years we have invested in 76 Cisco Telepresence rooms worldwide. We are excited to extend our video capabilities as we become the first customer to purchase and deploy IX5000's. Lower TCO means we can get video rooms in more places, so more teams can benefit. Extending our current video implementation to the whole Corporation, also means deploying Cisco® CMR Cloud, a video collaboration service that couples WebEx® Personal Rooms with the cloud-based WebEx Video Bridge into one, always-available meeting experience accessible from any video device."
