At ROCTEL, we weren’t surprised to see Cisco named the #1 smart collaboration vendor in Omdia’s 2025 Universe report. In fact, we think they got it exactly right.

It’s one thing for tech to look good on paper, but in the real world, performance is what matters. Cisco delivers where it counts; powering hybrid offices, enabling mobile teams, and helping growing businesses stay securely connected without the headaches of “smart” tech that fails when it matters most.

As a Cisco Premier Partner, ROCTEL doesn’t just supply the tools — we design secure, scalable environments that work around your teams. Whether you’re a two-person startup or a 200-location enterprise, collaboration tools are no longer a “nice to have” perk, they are critical infrastructure.

Smarter Collaboration Starts with Smarter Workspaces

The return to the office is real — but it looks very different now. Today’s workplaces need to be more than desks and boardrooms, they must enable seamless collaboration that’s secure, intuitive, and flexible. Whether your team is on-site full-time, hybrid, or visiting occasionally, the right technology makes the office a destination — not an obligation.

Cisco’s collaboration solutions are built for exactly that, with:

  • Seamless Microsoft Teams & Zoom integration
  • Enterprise-grade security baked in (not bolted on)
  • Smart noise suppression, touchless join, and AI-powered video framing
  • Cloud-native management that gives IT full visibility and control

At ROCTEL, we help businesses unlock these features and use them meaningfully — without the need for in-house IT teams or complex deployments.

Want to Attract Talent? Start with the Tech

In today’s workplace, your technology setup is part of your employer brand. Candidates don’t just want a job, they want to know they’ll be empowered by the tools they use every day.

Outdated video calls, patchy Wi-Fi, and clunky login processes aren’t just frustrating — they’re expensive. When systems lag, calls drop, or files fail to sync, it chips away at productivity, morale, and customer trust. Multiply that across departments or locations, and you’re not just losing time, you’re losing revenue, deals, and long-term ROI.

Worse still, legacy systems introduce serious risks. Weak security frameworks and outdated infrastructure are prime targets for ransomware, phishing, and data breaches. In sectors like finance, healthcare, and retail, even minor disruptions can have major consequences — from operational downtime to reputational damage and regulatory penalties.

That’s why smart collaboration isn’t just about ease. It’s about resilience.

What We See Every Day at ROCTEL

We work with teams across Ireland every day who are moving to smarter, more secure systems — and the benefits are clear:

  • Faster onboarding thanks to intuitive, user-friendly tools
  • Stronger engagement across distributed teams
  • More confident meetings, presentations, and client calls
  • Built-in security that protects without slowing people down
  • Higher retention, because the tech supports the work, not the other way around

Secure, Cisco Technology – Managed by ROCTEL

If outdated systems are slowing your team down, it’s time to rethink the setup. Our ROCSOLID collaboration services are built on Cisco’s secure, intelligent platforms. But we don’t stop at hardware — we handle everything from design to deployment and ongoing support.

With ROCTEL, you get:

  • Plug-and-play video and conferencing solutions
  • End-to-end setup and management from our Irish-based NMC
  • Real-time insights into device health, usage, and performance
  • Reliable systems your teams can use without needing an IT degree

You can invest in all the tools in the world, but if your people can’t (or won’t) use them, what’s the point?

What the Omdia Report Confirms

The Omdia Universe: Smart Collaboration Devices 2025 report highlights what we already see in the field:

  • Cisco offers unmatched device interoperability across platforms
  • Their security frameworks align with enterprise compliance standards
  • Devices offer consistent user experiences, from huddle spaces to hybrid meetings
  • And their seamless IT integration means less setup time and fewer support issues

These are more than just product specs — they’re the foundation for better teamwork, faster decisions, and greater business resilience.

Rethink What Collaboration Could Look Like

At ROCTEL, we believe the best collaboration experiences are simple, secure, and scalable — whether you’re managing 10 people or 10,000. That’s why we work hand-in-hand with our customers to build systems that not only perform but elevate the entire work experience.

If your current tools are holding your team back, we’re here to help you move forward.
