Teleworking has grown 115% in the past decade, according to the Society for Human Resources.

Digital transformation has arrived, and it’s creating unprecedented opportunities for companies of all sizes to become market leaders through the evolution of business processes and the creation of new products and services. Organizations that master digital transformation will see a dramatic increase in revenues and profitability by converging people, processes and technologies; those that do not will struggle to survive. Evidence of this is clear to see by looking at the churn in the biggest companies in the world. For example, a Capgemini study found that since 2000, 52% of the Fortune 500 has disappeared through acquisitions or bankruptcies.

Therefore, making the shift to a digital business must be a top initiative for IT and business leaders. Download this whitepaper to see how Cisco has become the Market Share Leader in Online Meetings.
