This has been a long while in the making, but networking specialist Cisco over the weekend announced it has completed its "voluntary offer" for Tangberg, a video communications company.

"Today we are celebrating a very important step for our customers in the journey to put people at the center of collaboration and change the way we work," said Marthin De Beer, senior vice president, Emerging Technologies Business Group, Cisco. "We strongly believe that telepresence – the next generation of videoconferencing – along with Cisco's entire rich collaboration portfolio, powers this new way of working where everyone, everywhere, can be more productive throughthe pervasive use of video and face-to-face collaboration."

Cisco has shoved the entire Tandberg product line into its TelePresence portfolio, which the company says now provides customers with access to a fully integrated architecture, a comprehensive network-based endpoint, and a suite of customizable apps and deployment models.
