Artificial intelligence (AI), digital assistants, virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR) will play a significant role in the future workplace, allowing employees new user experiences and more productivity in team collaboration. These emerging technologies also help organisations to communicate with their customers more efficiently and increase sales revenue. "For workers, meetings are the most tense and time-consuming sessions, but innovative technologies will enable stakeholders to have new experiences at meetings, allowing collaborative work efficiently," said Sandeep Mehra, managing director for collaboration sales at Cisco Systems. He said Cisco makes affordable, open and simple usage a part of its collaborative platform serving the changing work environment, where mobile has become a major tool and multi-generational workers can work together.
