KUALA LUMPUR: Cisco is teaming up with QI Group of Companies to
launch its Borderless Network technology that will be implemented at QI
Tower in Petaling Jaya.

Cisco Malaysia managing director Anne
Abraham said with Borderless Networks and a highly secured connection,
the QI Group is able to future-proof its expansion as it develops new
capabilities and business ventures that take advantage of
next-generation technologies.

"The future is mobile and
businesses that embrace the progression towards a connected workforce
will capitalise on these trends much like the QI Group has done," she
said in a statement.

Elaborating on the new technology, she
said it is used to improve productivity and security while the network
solutions will create a strong foundation to support future user growth,
information and communications technology projects, as well as Voice
over Internet Protocol and teleconferencing.




The QI Group is using the network as a platform for business across
industries that include telecommunications, lifestyle and leisure,
luxury and collectibles, training and conference management, property
development, and a global retail and direct sales business.

QI
Group chief information officer Malick Aboobakar said the company's
investment in technology is in line with its plans to expand business
operations in Malaysia.

He said the company plans to further embed the technology into the heart of its operations.

"Future consideration includes videoconferencing and security
solutions, advancing collaboration to the next level while providing
increased security for data exchanged by a growing mobile workforce, he
said.
