With SMBs expected to increase wireline spending to some $16 billion by 2016, the market is generating unsurprising interest among vendors. Cisco (Nasdaq: CSCO) is announcing a plethora of enhancements to a variety of offerings it says are aimed at helping SMBs modernize their communications, especially as the vast majority rely on legacy time-division multiplexing (TDM) systems, with an average age of over 15 years.
Cisco, which earlier this month announced a $99 video conferencing play, has now rolled out an affordable series of products giving midsize businesses enterprise-grade IP phone systems with integrated collaboration capabilities.
The company said its Cisco Business Edition 3000 (which targets companies for 75 to 200 users) and the Cisco Business Edition 6000 (for companies of 150 to 750 workers) give midsize customers affordable access to collaboration offerings ranging from rich video to instant messaging. Customers can get the 3000 for $100 per user on a 100-user platform, and the 6000 for $158 per user on a 225-person platform.
