Cisco WebEx Connect: Features and functions

The WebEx Connect Platform provides the framework to merge collaborative applications with business software in ways previously not possible. Take advantage of the combined resources of Cisco enterprise networks and the Cisco WebEx Collaboration Cloud. This enterprise construct provides a robust, secure, unified, ubiquitous network that delivers business critical capabilities.

Rely on a solid architecture, designed with open standards, and purpose-built to handle multi-level security and policy management. Set, manage, and enforce network and corporate policies along an extensive scale—from relatively open to highly secure.

Give users throughout your organization the ability to collaborate on this platform now—with online meetings, presence notification, chat, audio and video conferencing, business widgets, as well as document and task management in virtual workspaces—built on a single, familiar interface.

Draw from a portfolio of collaboration capabilities. See when people are online and communicate with them instantly.

• Chat on ad-free, business-class instant messaging.
• Start video, VoIP, or WebEx desktop sharing from any chat session instantly.
• Collaborate on documents or applications during a chat using instant desktop share. - Schedule, manage, and launch meetings from the Microsoft Outlook Calendar.
• Integrate your WebEx host account so that users can launch WebEx meetings from within WebEx Connect.
  
  

Access any of these forms of communication from anywhere within WebEx Connect.

Give users throughout your organization the ability to collaborate with others as part of a team or a business process using Team Spaces. These collaborative virtual workspaces—or communities—make it possible to manage projects, and communicate and collaborate with customers and partners in real time.

• Create spaces to track specific projects or processes—or create multiple spaces to track different pieces of a large project .
• Post and share documents with attached discussion threads from within Team Spaces.
• Team members receive notification whenever anyone adds or saves a document.
• Easily find documents, discussions, or calendars related to any project, manage revisions, and share those documents with team members inside or outside your corporate network.
• Get secure, cloud-based storage for all data.
• Build a comprehensive history of all team- and project-related discussions that can be searched through and filtered.
• Escalate persistent discussion topics easily to other forms of communication, such as audio conferences or WebEx Meetings.
  
  

Team spaces remain persistent throughout the business process lifecycle, and you can archive or delete them when a project ends or a process changes or becomes obsolete.

Team Spaces use tabs to divide functional areas, making it easy for your users to find files, discussions, calendar, or a bulletin board. They can change tab titles, or even add tabs to expand their workspaces and centralize favorite applications and tools.

Access important data from one or more applications and take action on that data using Business Widgets—lightweight applications. WebEx Connect contains a set of Business Widgets your employees can use to quickly extend functionality in any of their spaces. Choose bookmarks, RSS, wikis, bulletin boards, calendars, dashboards, and much more.

WebEx integrates security at every level of this SaaS architecture, to provide a highly secure service even in a complex environment with multiple applications.
