Technology major Cisco has announced that it is working with automotive giant Mercedes-Benz to provide an optimal mobile office experience in its new Mercedes-Benz E Class vehicles.
“In today’s era of hybrid work, people expect an exceptional experience regardless of how and where they work and vehicles are no exception,” the company wrote in a statement.
As per the statement, Webex by Cisco will serve as the luxury sedan’s first collaboration application.
This partnership will help people get work done safely, securely, and comfortably in their vehicles, with the modern luxury and intuitive features that Mercedes-Benz and Webex customers are accustomed to, Cisco said.
Cisco believes that Mercedes-Benz is committed to innovating its vehicles for the modern, digital era; and partnering with it was a natural fit given the company’s leadership in secure, intuitive collaboration with Webex.
Both companies are also jointly addressing the needs of the ever-evolving hybrid workforce.
Commenting on the development, Jeetu Patel, executive vice president & general manager, security & collaboration, Cisco said, “Hybrid work is centered on the work you do, not where you do it – whether it’s in the office, home, car, or anywhere in between.”
He said, the mobile office cannot progress without the reliable and secure collaboration technology that only Cisco can provide. This partnership with Mercedes-Benz, a leader in automotive luxury, marks a big step forward in delivering the flexibility that the hybrid workforce demands.
