Deal designed strengthens cross-company collaboration with BT and Cisco telepresence

Deal designed strengthens cross-company collaboration with BT and Cisco telepresence

 

PepsiCo, one of the world's largest food and beverage companies, will be deploying Cisco TelePresence systems across PepsiCo's major offices worldwide.

 

The technology includes fully managed "concierge-level" services from BT, including intercompany capabilities to help enable cross-company collaboration between PepsiCo and key distributors and retailers.

 

Targeting green, productivity gains

 

Cisco claims its telePresence systems create immersive virtual meeting experiences that make participants feel as though they are in the same room though they may be thousands of miles apart. The combination of high-definition (HD) video and spatial audio provides a great alternative to in-person meetings.

 

"This new collaboration strategy with BT and Cisco will reinvent the way we work," said Robert Dixon, senior vice president and global chief information officer for PepsiCo. "Global virtual meeting collaboration will enable us to travel less, which will allow for greater productivity and a smaller environmental footprint. In this day and age, it's simply a smarter way of going about our business."
