Apple and Cisco Partner to Deliver Fast-Lane for iOS Enterprise Users

Apple and Cisco have announced a partnership to create a “fast lane” for iOS business users by optimizing Cisco networks for iOS devices and apps. The alliance integrates iPhone with Cisco enterprise environments and provides unique collaboration on iPhone and iPad.

“iOS is the world’s best mobile platform, and nearly every Fortune 500 and Global 500 company today has put iOS at the center of their mobile strategy, comments Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “iPhone and iPad have become essential tools for the modern workforce and are changing the way work gets done. Together with Cisco, we believe we can give businesses the tools to maximize the potential of iOS and help employees become even more productive using the devices they already love.”

“Ninety-five percent of companies in the Fortune 500 count on Cisco Collaboration and Cisco networks to help their teams be more productive,” says Cisco Executive Chairman John Chambers. “Through this engineering and go-to-market partnership, were offering our joint customers the ability to seamlessly extend that awesome Cisco environment to their favorite iOS devices. Together, were going to help teams achieve higher levels of productivity and effectiveness.”

To address ever-increasing demands on corporate infrastructure, Cisco networks and iOS devices will be optimized in order for them to work together more efficiently and reliably with the targeted objective to provide users with even greater performance.

Apple and Cisco are also working together to make iPhone an even 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 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.

With approximately 70,000 partners, Cisco is very well positioned to deliver the efficiency results that stem from connecting the previously unconnected. Cisco is empowering countries, cities, industries and businesses around the globe to move faster in order to keep pace with digital transformation and the move to the Internet of Everything (IoE). to provide its customers with next generation networking, security, data center, and collaboration products and solutions that help them achieve their desired business outcomes.
