Cloud platform startup Assemblage has been acquired by Cisco

Cisco announced that it has acquired cloud platform startup Assemblage, as the company continues its focus on enterprise collaboration. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Assemblage makes a cloud-based collaboration platform that can be used on a web browser without the need for downloads, plugins, or installations. The platform also delivers collaboration apps for whiteboarding, presentation broadcasting, and screensharing from the cloud. Users can even work together on 40 different file types. As terms of the acquisition deal, Assemblage’s engineers will join Cisco’s Collaboration Technology Group. Cisco said it hopes the Assemblage employees can help it make new collaboration products that also integrate with third-party cloud applications like Box and Google.
