Hey everybody, we’re out here at Cisco Partner Summit and I ran into Patrick here about >> future proof workplaces. What exactly does that mean? Oh yeah, now we get that all the time. So in Cisco here, we wanted to say, hey, how can we bring Cisco technology all together to really create the future for a workplace? But again, like you said, what does it mean? So for us, we define it maybe across different personas. So for the IT person, a future uh future approved workplace looks like a secure network unified management really making it easy for it. So we have a lot of those demos here at partner summit that talks about maybe how to do segmentation, how to do your branch, how to do your cloud and on-prem deployment across a secure network and that’s the future for them. Then we move across maybe to wireless access points, right? That’s an interesting intersection of the network but also a user, a person walking into a building and getting connected. So what does the future look like for them? And so we say, “Hey, you have great connectivity. It’s secure as well, but we can also unlock different applications.” So yes, we have the access points, but the future for them, we add in kind of our Cisco spaces software. It’s a great great subscription software. Really does a lot of great local uh location analytics. But combine that with secure networking access point plus the software Cisco spaces you can transform people walking into maybe a hospital trying to navigate to your doctor’s appointment trying to do it easily on your phone um like a GPS map through those healthcare. Maybe these not just a patient but the future of a clinical worker. I want to track my X-ray machine. I want to track these uh wheelchairs. Well, now we have asset tags that are being tracked through access points, Cisco spaces, and all that kind of stuff. And then we move over to like, okay, well, what if I’m calling into a healthcare provider, and what does the future look like for me? And that’s AI agent studio. So, WebEx AI agent studio. We have a great demo here where you’re calling in saying, “Hey, I have some symptoms, and can you just check if you know, is this an emergency? Should I talk to my doctor?” the AI agent studio through agent technology in the back talking through this database of symptoms that you are approved saying okay yeah you have a headache you have you know maybe some neck pains maybe you should call your doctor then let’s transfer over to your insurance agent like or the agentic uh piece that’s connected to insurance provider and say hey are you verified do you have the right type of insurance coverage to talk to the doctor yes you do let’s go transfer you over and all that’s happening on back end so that’s the future all powered with Cisco uh and definitely what we want to showcase here at the summit. >> Yeah. So, there’s sounds like there’s a lot of technologies in there. We talked about WebEx, we talked about Wi-Fi, we talked about switching and we talked about all of this great experience that we’re giving people. If I want to go learn about what all is involved in here and get some more information, where would I go do that? Definitely. I mean, cisco.com has this great highle future proof workplace that you want to do. If you are in a seller of ours or in the space, you know, sales connect, we got some great black belts we call for the partner resellers out there. some great courses you can do and we’re always just launching different things that you can learn about.
