PepsiCo Enhances Collaboration With BT, Cisco TelePresence

PepsiCo, a global food and beverage company, will be deploying Cisco TelePresence systems across PepsiCo’s major offices worldwide. The technology includes fully-managed, ‘concierge-level’ services from BT, including intercompany capabilities that will help enable cross-company collaboration between PepsiCo and key distributors and retailers.

Cisco TelePresence systems create immersive virtual meeting experiences that make participants feel as though they are in the same room though they may be miles apart. This combination of high-definition video and spatial audio provides an effective alternative to in-person meetings.

“This new collaboration strategy with BT and Cisco will reinvent the way we work,” said Robert Dixon, Senior Vice President and global CIO for PepsiCo. “Global virtual meeting collaboration will enable us to travel less, which will allow for greater productivity and a smaller environmental footprint. In this day and age, it’s simply a smarter way of going about our business.”
