What is Ciscos unified communications roadmap right now?
Our roadmap is to really think of communications beyond just your traditional voice. In fact, that’s why we really moved forward with renaming all of the products through the unified communications brand, moving ahead from IP communications. Because we believe that it isn’t just VoIP, it’s how you interact with voice, video and messaging — video messaging, audio messaging and instant messaging. Our plan is to continue to look at how people communicate and how we can use the network to better integrate the elements. I often talk about the fact that we as people have become human middleware gluing together our multiple productivity devices. Unified communications should help us integrate those elements significantly better. What will be the reaction from customers and the user community to all of that integration and tying together? The reaction so far has been very good. People resonate with the challenge of trying to manage all of the multiple devices from a wide variety of elements.
