Cisco Systems plans to announce Friday that it's spending $47.8 million
in cash to acquire two start-ups whose technology will help large
companies merge their business software applications with their IP
communications platforms. 
Cisco said it will pay $28 million in cash for privately held Metreos,
an Austin, Texas-based company with 19 employees. It will dish out
another $19.8 million in cash for a 26-person company called Audium
based in New York City.

Software developed by Metreos and Audium will be used by Cisco's
third-party technology partners, systems integrators, value-added
resellers and customers to build and deliver applications on Cisco's
Unified Communications System, a suite of voice, data and video products
and applications that integrate communications with IT infrastructure.

"The technology from these companies act as middleware linking the
business applications with communications so their business processes
can be connected to actual people," said Zoltan Poleretzky, director of
business development for Cisco's Unified Communications products. "The
great thing about these tools is that no one has to be a Java developer
to do it."

For example, a company's enterprise resource planning software could be
linked to its unified communications infrastructure so that if an issue
comes up in its supply chain it can notify all the appropriate people
simultaneously and immediately.

When the deals close, Metreos and Audium products groups will be
integrated into Cisco's Voice Technology Group, reporting to Don
Proctor, senior vice president of Cisco's Voice Technology Group. The
acquisitions are expected to close by the end of June. 

Cisco has already been working separately with each company. It has
resold Audium's product for more than a year, and Metrios is already a
member of Cisco's developer program.
