AT&T has partnered with Cisco to offer a new conference service to business users, offering audio, video and web conferencing as a single suite of solution for business users. The new AT&T service utilizes Cisco® Collaboration Meeting Rooms (CMR) Cloud, a video collaboration service that couples WebEx® Personal Rooms with the cloud-based WebEx Video Bridge into one, instantly-available meeting experience accessible from any connected device - including smartphones, tablets and desktop computers.
AT&T Conferencing with Cisco CMR Cloud lets customers easily mobilize their business with flexible cloud-based solutions that integrate video, audio and web conferencing capabilities into one. Whether users are in the office or on-the-go, the offering allows them to participate in virtual meetings, share content, and be more productive - all with the push of a button
AT&T Conferencing with Cisco Collaboration Meeting Rooms (CMR) Cloud is expected to be available in December 2014.

Traditionally, business video conferencing meant expensive equipment investments and a fixed office space. Now, we're making video collaboration easy and accessible to virtually anyone with a connected device. Additionally, through endpoints like the Cisco IX5000, users can utilize the two-way cameras found on almost many mobile devices for an integrated, highly reliable collaboration solution that helps reduce meeting-related travel costs.
Rowan Trollope, senior vice president, Collaboration Technology Group, Cisco
Cisco is passionate about helping people get highly collaborative work done without technology hassles getting in the way—this passion is the driving force behind our entire collaboration portfolio including CMR Cloud. Working with AT&T will give more people their very own collaboration spaces in the cloud – and on their desks – so more great work can get done quicker.
