I'm pleased to announce the acquisition of Heroik Labs, Inc. doing business as Worklife. Worklife is a privately-held company based in San Francisco, CA that provides software to improve meeting productivity.

Worklife's mission is to help teams be prepared and informed so they can run highly effective meetings. Their application enables people to be more productive at work, by giving them more options to stay engaged before, during, and after meetings, from sharing agendas before the meeting, to taking notes during the meeting, and sharing those notes, as well as action items, after each meeting.

We are excited to welcome a team with a vision that is so complementary to Cisco's own collaboration strategy, namely, to provide the best collaboration experience across every touch point, every space, and for every employee. With the Worklife team onboard, we see an opportunity to build on the virtual meeting experience that the Cisco Spark platform currently provides, and enhance meeting productivity across the board. For example, we can start offering additional tools, tightly integrated into Cisco Spark, to help users track calendars, create agenda templates, and collaborate on note-taking in real-time during a meeting. Together, we can drive a better meeting experience for all of our users.

Collaboration continues to be a top priority for Cisco. Worklife's technology and talent builds on the success of Cisco's previous collaboration software acquisitions such as Collaborate.com, Assemblage, Tropo, Acano and Synata.

The Worklife team will report into the Cloud Collaboration Technology Business Unit under Senior Vice President and General Manager Jens Meggers. The current plan is that Worklife's existing online meeting software will continue to be offered free to customers.
