Webex News & Articles

Web-based meetings are certainly nothing new. The problem with web meetings is, despite the convenience of being able to meet with others a world away, you are still tied to your office usually.

With WebEx for iPhone you no longer need to stay late on a Friday for a meeting you can attend from the golf course or the comfort of your home.

When Cisco acquired WebEx, the technology world waited in anticipation for what the combined company would bring to market. Cisco answered back recently by releasing a new Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) communications platform that brings users a combined presence, instant messaging, Web meeting and team space for workplace collaboration.

The company aims to offer an attractive set of communication tools that will deter enterprise users from looking for external options that are outside organizations’ firewalls. Cisco WebEx Connect is designed around enabling communication and collaboration while respecting the security and management surrounding an enterprise application.
