Acano technology is introduced to the Cisco family.
On January 29, 2016, Cisco announced the acquisition of the privately held Acano. And several months later, a new baby was born – Cisco Meeting Server. Just kidding!

Go ahead and call the grandparents: these new tools and their capabilities are hitting their milestones like a champ with a new Cisco Collaboration focus on video conferencing scale, Microsoft interoperability and native WebRTC capabilities. Let’s take a look at what CMS is all about (the Acano heritage), and what’s changed along with the name.
