Cisco helps seize the opportunities of tomorrow by proving that amazing things can happen when you connect the unconnected. And, as a part of the Cisco portfolio, Webex Rooms connects people to productivity rather than getting in the way of it by promoting the ability for them to work where they want, when they want, and how they want to get stuff done. The world works better face to face, and whether there is a need to work remote or in-person, Webex Rooms delivers the collaboration tools for that authentic interaction. We are proud to have one of the largest R&D sites in Norway with over 400 employees, developing and designing collaboration tools!
