Cisco's Algiers Office Becomes First Business Premises in Algeria to Use Face-to-Face Cisco Collaboration Solution
ALGIERS, ALGERIA--(Marketwire - December 14, 2010) - Cisco (
The Cisco TelePresence solution offers a live, face-to-face experience that enables people from different offices and cities around the world to meet virtually using the power of the network. Cisco TelePresence meeting participants can share content, create high-quality video recordings of events, consult with experts, and deliver powerful personalized services, all using the network for an immersive in-person experience.
Setting up a Cisco TelePresence meeting is as simple as making a phone call, and when participants sit down at the conference table in a Cisco TelePresence room, other participants appear to be sitting across the table, in life size, no matter where they are in the world.

Karim Dembri, general manager for Cisco Algeria
"In today's climate, when companies are looking at better ways to conduct business efficiently whilst also keeping a firm control on travel costs, Cisco TelePresence technology offers the perfect solution. Cisco employees in Algiers are already enjoying the benefits and cost savings that a Cisco TelePresence solution offers, and we aim to also utilize this installation in our offices as a pilot to allow our business partners and customers across the region the opportunity to experience the power of Cisco TelePresence technology. We are confident that in the very near future many more organizations across North Africa will be deploying the Cisco TelePresence solution."
Den Sullivan, chief information officer for Cisco's Emerging Markets region
"The deployment of Cisco TelePresence technology can now be increased significantly throughout the sub-Saharan African region with the arrival of submarine cables, which now offer high bandwidth at attractive prices. To that end, this year alone we have been able to deploy the solution in our offices in Kenya, Morocco, Tunisia and Egypt. Cisco's vision is to be the leading enabler of ICT and broadband acceleration in emerging markets through innovative, scalable, high-value technology offerings and solutions. Cisco TelePresence will not only transform the way business is conducted in North Africa but also help make vital services like health care and education more accessible to those who need them most."
