Cisco invests 400k more in its social network with NUI Galway research team

Cisco says it is investing nearly €400,000 with the Digital Enterprise Research Institute (DERI) in NUI Galway, to further develop its enterprise social networking and collaboration platform Cisco Quad.
An additional €100,000 will be invested in a strategic research agreement between Cisco and DERI for a project titled: “Advances in real-time date integration, recommendations and social network analysis for the Social Semantic Enterprise” (ADVANSSE).

Cisco Quad enables workers to connect to the right people and access and share content irrespective of location. Companies can bring their existing communications, along with social networking, content management, and business systems into an integrated experience for end users in browser and mobile clients, including Cisco Cius, iPhone and iPad.
