As we speak at WebexOne in San Diego, you will notice an unbelievable convergence of imaginative and prescient, innovation, and neighborhood. This occasion is not only a showcase—it’s a testomony to how Cisco is reimagining the way forward for work and constructing options for the AI period.
We’re firmly within the period of agentic AI. To maintain the tempo of adoption and innovation in AI cooking, we’re targeted on fixing a number of key challenges.
First, AI is infrastructure constrained. It’s hungry for energy, computing, and community bandwidth. Second, it presents an entire new set of safety threats, making a belief deficit for customers and enterprises alike. And third, there’s an rising knowledge hole, the place we’re struggling to successfully apply AI to all of the completely different knowledge varieties and sources in our organizations.
At Cisco, we’re addressing these challenges head-on. We offer the essential infrastructure for the AI period – together with high-bandwidth low-latency networking, AI security and safety, a knowledge platform that AI-first firms have to thrive, and a collaboration platform in Webex that connects folks throughout your organizations to ship essential worker and buyer experiences.
The collaboration platform on the coronary heart of Cisco’s AI technique
Make no mistake, the Webex portfolio of merchandise is a foundational pillar of Cisco’s technique to function the essential infrastructure for the AI period. Daily, I witness how our collaboration portfolio transforms the way in which folks join, create, and get work carried out.
With AI embedded deeply and natively throughout Webex, we’re fixing real-world challenges—delivering smarter conferences, automating routine duties, and guaranteeing safety and reliability at scale.
The truth is, within the agentic period of AI, there’ll quickly be extra machines within the workforce than people. That’s how we’re going to ship on the promise of 8 billion folks amplified to have the throughput capability of 80 billion.
Underlying this shift is a brand new future for collaboration that may fluidly mix people-to-people communication, people-to-AI communication, and AI-to-AI communication by way of brokers.
We name our imaginative and prescient for this dynamic type of collaboration Linked Intelligence, and it has a number of key ideas:
- It leverages AI to remove the affect of distance and time between folks working collectively, an idea we name Distance Zero.
- It options agentic teammates able to working autonomously and along with each folks and different brokers, usually in real-time and in multi-player mode.
- It’s constructed on open ecosystems which have interoperability because the baseline expectation in order that brokers can work cross-platform to knit workflows collectively throughout completely different methods.
All the pieces we introduced at Webex One is animated by the concept of Linked Intelligence, and I’m extremely pleased with the group bringing it to life. From a bunch of recent brokers within the Webex Suite, to an all new RoomOS, deeper interoperability with Microsoft Groups and Zoom on our units, and AI insights for contact middle supervisors, there isn’t any scarcity of recent improvements to study all about.
We couldn’t be extra excited to be constructing the office of as we speak, for the workforce of tomorrow.
