Cisco said on Tuesday that it is unifying its collaboration portfolio to simplify the experience for users and IT administrators. The networking giant said all its devices are now on the same operating system and that all of its apps now have improved interoperability.

For instance, Cisco said Jabber -- its platform for communicating via video, instant messaging, voice, and conferencing -- will now mirror the look and feel of Webex Teams by the end of summer.
"Do you prefer Jabber and your boss prefers Teams? No worries," Cisco wrote in its announcement. "Type your note in Jabber and it's going to immediately show up in the Teams app, just like that. We call this a 'unified experience'. And while it's great for users, it is also amazing for IT teams."
Cisco also announced that its AI-driven People Insights, originally available for Webex meetings, will be available across portfolio --including calling, messaging, meetings, and Jabber.
