Last week, Orlando was teeming with Webex partners, customers, and IT pros from across different industries at Enterprise Connect 2024. Each event unveils new advancements in communications and collaboration, solidifies customer and peer connections on the show floors, and inspires the crowd with visionary keynotes from experts like Javed Khan, Senior VP and GM of Cisco Collaboration.
“Cisco has been coming here for a long time, and we’ve seen it all,” Javed told the crowd on Tuesday. “Just think about how much collaboration has changed in the last couple of decades.” From IP telephony to mobile apps to cloud computing, the pace of innovation has increased massively.
Now we’re in the middle of another tech advancement – artificial intelligence – and it is shaping up to be the ultimate game changer. “I don’t think we’ve fully grasped how it’s going to change collaboration,” Javed said. But ultimately, it’s not about the latest technology, he said. “It’s about the experience that the technology delivers.”
Experience Matters
Experiences, connections, interactions – these have always been at the heart of collaboration, Javed said. “Real-time discussions, sharing of ideas, brainstorming – that’s when teams make progress and where real work gets done.” When it comes to AI, it’s all about making these human interactions better.
Like any technology, AI should be in the service of the human component of work. “It should work quietly and transparently in the background, making things easier, better, faster,” Javed observed. “Our entire collaboration portfolio is designed with that goal in mind.”
AI is embedded everywhere across Webex.
