Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Cisco to communicate with colleagues across the UK, Ireland, Bulgaria, and India in a conference facility. It allows me to connect to a call without the need for a laptop and camera, as this has it all in the Enhanced Virtual Conference Room using the Cisco experience. It's often to use to facilitate and support team away days for those unable to travel in the current climate, so they are not let out for those in the room on the day.

Pros and Cons

Picture and sound quality are excellent.
Connection is strong and reliable.
It allows people at home to feel apart of the meeting on site.

Allowing more user interaction rather than just video and audio.
Split screen option to share content and view faces from those on the meeting.

Return on Investment

Less travel required which saves the business money.
People are missing out on meetings as they can dial in from home or from local site.

Alternatives Considered

I have only used Cisco.

Likelihood to Recommend

I attended an onsite meeting in Newcastle, where 30 managers were invited. Only 20 were able to attend due to rail strikes. Thanks to Cisco, we were able to facilitate the meeting onsite still in Newcastle whilst we had other members dial in from home in Scotland, England and wales. Everyone at home said they felt like they were in the room due to the experience of Cisco
