Apple and Cisco announced a partnership to integrate iOS based devices and apps with Cisco enterprise environments. Both companies believe that the partnership will address the ever-increasing demands on corporate infrastructure, where Cisco networks and iOS devices will be optimized so that they work together more efficiently and reliably with the goal of providing users with even greater performance.
In addition, the two companies are also working together to make iPhone a better business collaboration tool in Cisco voice and video environments, with the goal of providing employees with a seamless experience between iPhone and their desk phone.
With Apple's support, Cisco said that it will deliver experiences specially optimized for iOS across mobile, cloud, and premises-based collaboration tools such as Cisco Spark, Cisco Telepresence and Cisco WebEx in order to deliver seamless team collaboration and reinvent the meeting experience.
