Cisco is recognised as leader in collaboration by Aragon.
Aragon's report confirms that Cisco remain the industry leader in unified communications and collaboration.
Cisco rated highly in performance and strategy.
The 2019 Aragon Globe examined 14 major providers and selected Cisco as one of the leaders in Unified Communications and Collaboration. Cisco ranked highly in both performance and strategy.
Unlike many other market reports, Aragon’s evaluation looks at the entire Cisco portfolio – on-premises, cloud and hybrid solutions. The market is seeing a transition from traditional on-premises based solutions to cloud based and AI-based offerings and Cisco have developed their strategy to recognise this trend.
Unifi has been a Cisco partner for over 15 years, and we believe this recognition reflects the continued strength of Cisco’s strategy, portfolio, product road-maps and their performance in execution.
With Cisco’s broad UCC portfolio and the Cisco Collaboration Flex Plan, enterprises have a range of options that combine on-premise, hybrid, and public cloud deployments, and the flexibility to mix, match, and integrate with services as the business evolves. Cisco offers one of the most complete sets of voice and video conferencing platforms that is now fully integrated with Cisco Webex Teams, its cloud-based team collaboration.
