This white paper highlights some of the features available or soon to be available in the Cisco Collaboration portfolio. Like every facet of business communication, this is a continually evolving and improving area, and ongoing advancements in computing and mobile ability will only serve to make communication and collaboration even more streamlined and effective.
As more and more tedious or administrative activities get handed over to artificial intelligence, more time and resources are made available for people to leverage their intelligence, creativity, and relationships. Soon, when a meeting host physically walks into the room, everything should start to unfold: The host will be automatically logged into the meeting, the projection system will start up, and the room will coordinate with the other smartbuilding technologies to adjust the HVAC and lighting for a comfortable environment. The cues for this type of customization will come from more than one source. For example, if the host’s phone was left behind, then some other data point will trigger the cognitive process.
The goal of this white paper is to illustrate the range of services and innovations available under the mantle of Cognitive Collaboration.

We feel it is important to have presented both current and future offerings together to retain a logical flow and to keep the Cognitive Collaboration benefits in context.
For clarity, here is a summary of the Cognitive Collaboration technologies that are slated for future release:
