Cisco Systems is bolstering its unified communications and collaboration portfolio with the purchase of a corporate instant-messaging company.More here.
On Friday, the networking giant announced it will purchase Jabber, which uses an open-source IM and presence protocol used by Google Talk and Gizmo. The company didn't disclose financial details.
In essence, Jabber's technology allows multiple IM platforms to "talk" to each other. This means that it allows people using tools such as Microsoft Office Communications Server, IBM Sametime, AOL AIM, and Google to send messages to each and get presence information about one another.
Jabber's technology is already used by some large companies including AT&T, BT, EarthLink, FedEx, and JP Morgan.
