This flexibility generates competitive advantage, and helps businesses transition to a more responsive, borderless enterprise.  Optimize business processes and increase customer intimacy by making it easier to connect to customers and partners.  Achieve standards-based interoperability for seamless operation in multivendor and intercompany environments, collaborative applications, and in native telepresence solutions. Improving Employee Productivity  Increasing productivity and accelerating business processes by allowing employees / constituents to access and deliver messages through any medium, everywhere, on any device  Allowing executives and subject matter experts to be in multiple locations at once, transforming their business model and increasing productivity  Using the Cisco TelePresence recording capability for scalable communications and training Cutting Operational Costs  Reducing TCO, improving the user experience, and increasing business / agency / institutional relevance with IP endpoints and unified communications management solutions  Reducing travel expenses and redefining business processes with travel-free, face-to-face collaboration with everyone, everywhere  Achieving interoperability that allows integration with existing systems, so budgets can be used to enhance rather than replace existing technologies Business-Process Optimization and Organizational Flexibility  Using Cisco TelePresence collaboration systems to remove boundaries and enable secure and scalable intra- and intercompany / agency / institutional communications Update key messages based on your value added services that address target customer needs.
