It’s no secret that better collaboration leads to increased profitability. Studies show that up to one-half of business productivity is related to how well employees work together.1 But powering collaboration across a large company isn’t easy. IT now has to consider how and where employees work, and what devices and applications they use to get their work done. And they must balance those needs with company priorities such as security and manageability.

Cisco® Business Edition 7000 (BE7000) is a complete, customizable collaboration solution with a modular design that solves the communication needs of large organizations like yours. It makes it easy for your employees to stay productive anywhere, using the industry’s best collaboration features – all from a single platform. With Cisco BE7000, your employees can securely reach colleagues, customers, and business partners using the device they choose, regardless of when and where they are working. Centralized management simplifies your operations and helps you use IT resources more effectively. It helps you do more with less by consolidating multiple collaboration systems into one platform that takes less time to manage and maintain and less space and power, and is less expensive to own.

Bringing Together an Extended CompanyIn a competitive business world, it’s more important than ever for employees to work together and innovate. That means keeping them connected with one another, and with customers and business partners, no matter where they are or what method they are using.

But supporting collaboration across a large company isn’t always easy. You may have employees scattered across different sites, working on different networks and devices. They may be working from home or on the road, and using their own communications tools. Managing multiple users and multiple devices is complex, especially if you’re running mixed network environments. Your network or phone system might be maxed out, and you may not have enough capacity, security, and connectivity. How can you build a more connected workforce in a dynamic world, without busting your budget?

To move forward, you need a complete, easily managed collaboration platform that lets you start small and pay as you grow, incrementally adding the apps and services you need. A solution that supports end-to-end collaboration for every user, on any device, from any location. And when your business needs change, your solution should be able to scale smoothly to take on new employees, devices, applications, and locations.

solution that delivers voice, video, conferencing, instant messaging and presence, mobility, contact center, and much more.

Based on the industry-leading Cisco Unified Communications Manager architecture, this call-control platform brings together and delivers business-critical communications services such as voice, video, messaging, IM and presence, mobility, and conferencing.

Cisco Prime Collaboration also eases provisioning of users and services, so you onboard new employees and respond to business changes quickly and cost-effectively.

• Compatible platforms work smoothly with your environment: Growing organizations like yours often have a mixed network and phone system. Cisco BE7000 was designed to help you get the most out of your existing investments. Our solutions are standards-based, secure, and interoperable with many of today’s third-party partner applications and devices. So you won’t need to rip and replace all of your equipment to step up to the latest features and performance. You also get the flexibility you need to tailor your solution to meet your specific needs. Choose from additional applications from the Cisco Developer Network, an ecosystem of third-party technology partners offering rich, new business solutions built for Cisco BE7000.

Cisco BE7000 solutions use a modular, building-block approach that gives you the agility you need to keep pace. Designed for flexibility, our solutions let you start small and “pay as you grow.” When it’s time to support more users, devices, applications, and sites, you can simply add more servers to scale quickly and cost-effectively. This flexible approach lets you transition to newer technology without a large up-front investment. And because Cisco BE7000 solutions have no maximum capacity limits, you can be sure that your solution will continue to grow with your business.

“The BE7000 is being successfully adopted in the market as more enterprises look for a simplified, bundled solution that includes the hardware, software licenses, network management and endpoints in a packaged solution.”— Gartner Magic Quadrant for Corporate Telephony, https://www.gartner.com/doc/reprints?id=1-2P4KVUT&ct=151007&st=sb
