The future of work as per the CEO of Cisco states that most corporations have reached the conclusion that they can indeed work efficiently and effectively from home and outside the office.
Via it's WebEx teleconferencing platform, Ciso hosted over 500,000,000 video meetings in April with what is known as "white glove" service, meaning special care to host secure meetings when discussing issues like confidential topics and intellectual property.
THere is also new thinking about how and where talent is accessed and deployed by an organization. It no longer has to be within the four walls of a corporate building.
Video conferencing is now being used in new ways such as virtual patient intakes by nurses to eliminate their exposure to patients in high risk areas as well as the sad final farewells between family members who are prohibited from being be there in person as a loved one takes their final breaths.
Video conferencing cameras are mounted on mobile robots so that Doctors can interact with patients at long distance or when no one is available locally due to exhaustion or lack of staff. Maybe copier techs will be soon servicing such devices?
