Cisco has recently unveiled its new collaboration products including Cisco WebEx solutions, encompassing telepresence and unified communications.
Currently, Cisco has also introduced its plan to acquire Tandberg, which is expected to be the key building blocks to Cisco’s videoconferencing and telepresence applications. 
With these collaboration products Cisco is now no more just a traditional routers and switches business. Cisco aims at providing person-to-person and business-to-business collaboration across a wide range of media technologies and devices.
It also seems that Cisco is joining two new markets when this company has released enterprise social software and hosted email solutions. The Cisco Show and Share social video system helps organizations record, edit, and share videos and associated add-ons like RSS feeds and tagging. The application also allows users to upload speech-to-text transcripts.
After acquiring PostPath, Cisco has introduced Cisco WebEx Mail which offers interoperability with Microsoft Outlook and AJAX Web 2.0 access. The on-demand WebEx Mail is highly scalable and overcomes traditional mailbox size limitations.
The unified communications offered by Cisco seems rather different from its other products. The Cisco Unified Communications system 8.0 includes new video- and Wi-Fi-enabled Cisco Unified IP Phones as well as additional smartphones through Cisco Unified Mobile Communicator.
Another new product of Cisco is Cisco Pulse which is a search engine to traverse networks, carry out dynamic tagging of content. Using this application, users are allowed to locate and rapidly connect with the people and information they need.
It Cisco can acquire Tandberg successfully; it can extend its telepresence and online video applications with Cisco TelePresence WebEx Engage.
