Santa will visit with children in the hospital's playroom, and a mobile cart or iPad will help Santa travel room-to-room for a bedside visit for those who don't feel well enough to leave their rooms. Much like children who are able to sit on Santa's lap, patients will have the opportunity to pass along their wishes this holiday season in plenty of time for St. Nick to make his list and check it twice!

"We're thrilled to help bring the magic of the holidays to children who can't be in their homes through the Cisco Santa Connection program," said Mark Marron, chief operating officer of ePlus. "Putting the power of collaboration technology into Santa's able hands will help bring his joyful presence to young patients. We are honored to be part of such an important mission-straight from the North Pole."

About Cisco Santa Connection

During the 2014 holiday season, approximately 50 hospitals throughout North America will participate in the Cisco Santa Connection Program. This interactive experience enables hospitalized children to remotely connect and communicate with Santa using Cisco's video collaboration technologies. Through the magic of the Internet, the children are connected over video directly to Santa's workshop in the North Pole where they can share their wish lists directly with Old St. Nick. After a personal conversation with Santa, children can join their families and enjoy a holiday party complete with gifts at the hospital. The Santa Connection Program was developed seven years ago to provide children and their families a bit of holiday cheer and happiness during their hospital stay.
