Galway R&D Team Build Key Component 

Cisco Launch Collaborative Solution Cisco Quad For the Workplace

Cisco, the global networking and IP telephony company, has released Cisco Quad, a collaboration solution that enables workers to easily connect to the right people and access and share content irrespective of location.

With Cisco Quad, companies can bring their existing communications, along with social networking, content management, and business systems into an integrated experience for end users in browser and mobile clients including the iPhone and the iPad. The company claims that its new solution lowers deployment costs and provides instant social networking capabilities with this open, extensible, enterprise collaboration platform, and lowers overall risk by providing IT-ready social networking managed through enterprise policy.

Mike Conroy, general manager at Cisco's R&D centre in Galway, whose team has played a key role in the development of Cisco Quad, said: "Our Galway team is an important of part Cisco's global R&D organisation and is focused on developing innovative collaborative software solutions for our global customers. Cisco's vision for a new workspace is about empowering organisations with a broader range of collaborative experiences. Not only is it seamless and integrated, but it also gives people and teams the power to choose what combination of content, media, and devices will make them most productive."

According to Keith Griffin, Lead Architect for Cisco Quad, said: "Several unified communication components of Cisco Quad are engineered at Cisco's Galway R&D facility. A key feature of Quad is pervasive unified communications. This concept disaggregates unified communications functionality and makes it available across the Cisco Quad social networking platform."
