Cisco Systems has announced Cisco Quad, an enterprise collaboration platform that combines video, voice, e-mail and social networking technology. Quad is one of a trio of announcements from the network equipment vendor intended to give Cisco a greater presence in front of the computer rather than just behind the screens.
Later this year, Cisco will offer WebEx Connect IM version 6.5, its video conferencing system now available through any browser-based instant messaging client. WebEx Connect IM eliminates the need to install a separate client application on the computer. Cisco also introduced enhancements to its Cisco Prosumer Video offering, aiming to improve consumer-based products like its Flip video camera for enterprise use.
