Reduced communication delays with presence and contact information: The Cisco Jabber for Android
application places all of your communication needs at your fingertips. The all-in-one client features voice,
video, and instant messaging, and it enables you to see the availability of co-workers and colleagues within
and outside your organization. You can immediately see who is offline, available, away, on the phone,
presenting, or in a do-not-disturb state. You can create customized availability states such as
“Gone to
lunch. Back at 1 p.m.
” to provide added context. These capabilities coupled with Cisco Jabber video calling
help reduce communication drag and result in faster decision making and enhanced productivity.

Ability to quickly communicate with borderless enterprise-class instant messaging: Instant messaging is an
important communication option that lets you efficiently interact in today's multitasking business
environment. Cisco Jabber for Android delivers enterprise-class instant messaging capabilities that are
based on the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP). The solution provides personal and
group chat so you can quickly connect with your business colleagues. Instant messaging is integrated with
other communication capabilities so you can simply move between chats, audio conversations, and web
conferences. You can even share your availability status and send instant messages to people outside your
organization who may not be using the Cisco Jabber application. The enterprise-class instant messaging
capabilities of this application provide more efficient, highly secure, flexible, and borderless collaboration.
