When a Hurricane Prevented Travel, Executive Meetings Continued Using Multipoint IP Videoconferencing | 2007-12-18 | Cisco Systems |
| In late October 2005, disastrous weather in the southeastern United States prevented Cisco marketing executives from traveling to a conference in Florida. And yet, the executives already in Florida were able to meet with their counterparts in San Jose, California and Milan, Italy via an IP videoconference - and conducted the meeting more swiftly than they likely would have in person. This case study provides an example of the value of internal videoconferencing and explains what was required to connect an off-campus location to the Cisco intranet.

How Cisco Uses Live Broadcasts and Video on Demand to Save Cost of Onsite Meetings | 2007-12-17 | Cisco Systems |
| Executives at Cisco Systems needed an efficient and economical way to communicate with employees in the newly formed sales group for emerging markets. Because these employees are located around the world, bringing them to an onsite meeting was costly and impractical. The solution was an IP-based, live video broadcast from the emerging markets group's leadership team. The live broadcast and a stored Video on Demand (VoD) module were produced by the Cisco Media Network team.

How Cisco IT Migrated Call Centers to IP Contact Center | 2007-12-13 | Cisco Systems |
| Cisco was rapidly growing as a company, particularly through acquisitions. With this growth came the need to manage diverse call centers, each with different systems, operating procedures, and business focus. Cisco business and call center managers faced several challenges, including: costly, inefficient call handling, inconsistent service to callers, inconsistent reporting etc. Cisco IT was a major participant in the extensive effort to implement a multi-phase, multi-year plan for improving the call centers. One goal of this plan was to use Cisco network and call processing technologies: the Cisco Intelligent Contact Management (ICM) system and, in a later phase, the Cisco IP Contact Center (IPCC) solution.

How Cisco IT Migrated High-Volume Linksys Contact Center to IP Network | 2007-11-19 | Cisco Systems |
| When Cisco Systems acquired Irvine, California-based Linksys Group, Inc. in mid-2003, Cisco IT acquired an unprecedented challenge: integrating a contact center whose volume surpassed that of the other 60 Cisco contact centers combined. Linksys needed a scalable call center solution that also would drive operational efficiencies over the long term. In 2000, Cisco had migrated all of its contact centers around the globe to a Cisco IP Contact Center (IPCC) environment to gain the benefits of centralized management and support from the Cisco Global Support team. Cisco IT and the Linksys team decided to deploy Cisco IPCC as well.

How Cisco Designed and Deployed IPTV for Global Communications | 2007-11-19 | Cisco Systems |
| Cisco IP/TV broadcasts are one of several ways that Cisco Systems delivers multimedia content, some of the others being virtual classrooms and Video on Demand (VoD). In general, Cisco uses Cisco IP/TV broadcasts for providing high-quality, live, or prerecorded information to large audiences of more than 50 people. In contrast the virtual classroom solution works best for audiences of fewer than 50 that require frequent live interaction, demos, audience polling, or question-and-answer sessions. VoD offers a low-cost means of providing individual users with pre-packaged information at any time, from any networked location, without the live interaction provided by Cisco IP/TV broadcasts or the virtual classroom.

Avaya Case Study: The Trading Room Gibraltar | 2007-11-01 | Avaya |
| The Trading Room Gibraltar was in need of a telephony solution that could significantly reduce the ongoing costs of international calling and make the company's representatives more readily available to clients at all hours of the day. The company's existing telephone system didn't allow multiple outgoing calls or offer multiple lines for incoming calls, making it difficult for traders to provide high levels of customer service to clients. By adopting VoIP technology with an Avaya IP Solution and working with a service provider in the U.K., the Trading Room's telecom-related costs per minute have dropped from 60 pence per minute to 5 pence.
