Cisco + Postpath = Unified Communications – Clear Strategy

I’m just guessing that there are smarter people than me at Cisco working on this type of stuff.  Cisco has purchased Postpath. If integrated with WebEx it gives them an interesting new perspective on collaboration, but I’m still not sure that the industry is ready to get away from Outlook, Entourage, etc and to get into using something fully in the cloud. I think for a company full of younglings it might make a lot of sense, given they’re already going to be used to this kind of thing, but then I’m also guessing they’re likely looking toward something like Google Apps. Having said this, the good people of Cisco have proven time and time again to give good strategy. So I trust their strategy with this acquisition will become more apparent as time goes on…
