Cisco / Metreos & Audium

Cisco Systems today announced it has completed the acquisition of the privately-held companies Metreos Corp. of Austin, Texas, and Audium Corp of New York, New York. Both of these companies offer easy to use, drag and drop, application creation/integration environments which will strengthen Cisco's Service Oriented Network Architecture (SONA).
With these acquisitions, Cisco will help enable its ecosystem of development partners to easily create and deploy applications that integrate Cisco's Unified Communications solutions with value-added business applications. The result is more effective communications and streamlined business processes.

By acquiring Metreos and Audium and their standards-based creation and integration tools, Cisco can enable customers and partners to rapidly build customized unified communications applications that are fully integrated across the enterprise IT infrastructure, enterprise applications, and enterprise contact centers.
