With the evolving cognitive power of Watson, the partnership has moved into a new world of open and creative joint solutions. Inhi Cho Suh, GM of Collaboration Solutions at IBM, and Jens Meggers, SVP and GM of Cloud Collaboration at Cisco Systems, joined John Furrier (@furrier) and Dave Vellante (@dvellante), co-hosts of theCUBE*, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, during the IBM World of Watson event in Las Vegas, NV. They discussed the partnership between their two companies and how they work together to create tools to facilitate team collaboration. “When I think about the way people want to work, they want to work in teams, they want surface content, they want to progresses the business objective or process, and throughout that, people want to interact in real time,” said Suh. She continued, “When I look at the landscape of potential partners and leadership vendors, it was very clear for me in terms of a spectrum of all that Cisco provides.” Integration is key On the collaboration side, Furrier asked for specifics on how IBM and Cisco work together. “When you look at our existing customers and offerings, our product portfolio is highly complementary. IBM provides email and social; we provide real-time meetings, messaging and chat,” Meggers replied. He explained that Cisco listened to customers asking for better integration. “So that’s when we started talking to [Suh] and her team,” he said. “When we started working together, we got more ideas about what we could do. We figured out we can do more than just integrating, like bringing cognitive intelligence in there and making the portfolio much, much better. That’s what we’re doing right now.” Suh added that regarding collaboration, they jointly go to market and visit customers together as one, unified team.
