Collaboration that encourages employee engagement
Cisco research found that 98% of future meetings will include both in-office and remote attendees, so it's important that collaboration technology provides an excellent experience for all. With that in mind, Cisco has improved Webex engagement functionality to provide best-in-class application sharing, screen sharing, and audio conferencing, as well as increase focus on accessibility and inclusion.
Modern Corporate Office Worker
The office worker spends most of their time in the office so their primary requirements include reliable connectivity and easy, secure access to apps and data. Office workers follow a regular schedule and use a laptop or desktop as their primary device. Their access to the network is secure, predictable and constant.
Modern Telecommuting Worker
The telecommuting worker performs tasks at a variety of locations so their primary requirements are secure and reliable collaboration and engagement applications. Telecommuters will access the network from a variety of different locations and will use several different devices depending on their location and situation.
Modern Home Office Worker
The modern remote worker has typically migrated from an office setting to their own home office and expects fast connectivity and easy access to collaborate with coworkers. In addition, many remote workers function as hybrid workers and expect a consistent experience whether they are at home or in the office.
Modern Mobile Field Worker
Like a typical road warrior, the modern mobile worker is on the road most of the time and uses multiple endpoint devices. Mobile workers need robust yet convenient access to apps and data. Like the telecommuter, the mobile worker accesses the network multiple locations including airports, hotels, and coffee shops.

SHI can design and deploy Cisco or Meraki SD-WAN solutions based on your unique needs.
Protected Multi-Cloud Access
Seamless access to SaaS and public cloud applications is the first step to an excellent employee experience. Cisco Cloud OnRamp tools accelerate this access which is essential for providing technical parity among remote and HQ-based employees. Remote employees will be delighted with faster and consistent access to Office 365, Salesforce and other essential apps.
