Collaboration - Video is a new Voice

Cisco Tele Presence

Video is a powerful tool for communication and collaboration. It can bridge distances and cultures; persuade and inform; monitor and protect. Video is a key requirement for effective collaboration as increasing globalization drives the need for more personal contact across geographic and cultural boundaries.
 

Businesses today use video to transform key processes, create competitive advantage, lower costs and reduce environmental impact. Meetings, presentations, training sessions, customer service, and other activities increasingly include video. Unified communication and rich media conferencing solutions along with technologies like Telepresence are designed around HD video and allow collaboration with a near 'in-person' meeting experience.

Prime Minister DS Najib used Cisco TelePresence to communicate with Malaysian abroad during PM Hari Raya Open House @ Seri Perdana.



Seeing is believing, ease of use  ... That's brought our Former Ambassador to US - The Late Tan Sri JJ to communicate with his team based in Washington DC using our Cisco TelePresence.

What a surprise by our Senior VP of Collaboration during our Global Sales Experience (GSX) in Las Vegas. He did a TelePresence session with a popular live TV host - Jimmy Kimmel. All 20k audience give him a 5 star rating for the fabulous show by Rowan.

Jimmy Kimmel used a Giant Video screen build by Cisco. It's called the Wall of America that allow him to communicate directly with remote audience live using video that transform fan experiences through technology.

Once Upon a Time - With PM Najib during Cyber Campus Launches

I found a piece of news published in local newspaper in 1997. That was a day to remember throughout my life. A showcase of how we can perform online transaction using Smart Card to the Prime Minister DS Najib, who was then the Education Minister. He launched a UTM 'Cyber Campus' initiatives with various application as a flagship of smart campus.


And, i lead the development of UTM 'Cyber Cafe' module where students, staff, and visitors would be able to perform online  transaction via e-wallet. Money in your smart card ... It's cool huh!! Smart card was relatively new back then ... Our Identity Card were still using the old blue laminated with 7 digit number and not even a smart card yet.



PM DS Najib ordered 'Teh Tarik' using the smart card

Thank you to my partner - Zairudin Jamaluddin and Prof Dr Abd Hanan Abdullah for guidance.
