New WebEx Support Center Service Brings Enterprise-Level System Management to Broader Market Without the Cost, Complexity or Maintenance of Legacy Software Solutions

SANTA CLARA, Calif., January 23, 2006—WebEx Communications (Nasdaq: WEBX), the leading provider of on-demand collaborative business applications, today launched WebEx System Management Services, an on-demand solution for managing software and hardware assets across LAN, WAN and the Internet. According to Gartner the worldwide system management software spending was $6 billion in 2005 and is expected to grow to $7.3 billion by 2008*.

WebEx System Management Services provides on-demand remote access, and support and maintenance capabilities that enable business owners and IT departments to cost-effectively manage, protect and secure software and hardware investments. Since there is no software to install or maintain, WebEx System Management Services removes the risks and costs traditionally found in complex software implementations.

For the first time, small and mid-sized businesses have a cost-effective way to deliver proactive system management including: rapid access to all remote systems, patch management, easy online backup, streamlined software distribution and licensing compliance, asset management, virus protection and more—all regardless of physical location. Unlike legacy premise-based solutions, WebEx System Management Services does not require specialized hardware, complex software or expensive IT management and maintenance. WebEx System Management Services gives companies the tools they need to ensure desktop assets are secure while allowing IT to remain productive and focused on core business.

“Before WebEx, these advanced IT management capabilities were beyond the reach of many businesses who didn’t have dedicated IT departments or big budgets for system management software,” said Gary Griffiths, vice president, product management, WebEx. “We partnered with Everdream, a market leader in on-demand system management, to create an enterprise-grade, easy-to-use system management service that delivers value to businesses of all sizes, for a fraction of the cost of traditional legacy software solutions. Our MediaTone on-demand platform allows us to quickly bring new applications to market and offer seamless integration with third-party application providers.”

WebEx System Management Services is the latest extension of the market-leading WebEx Support Center suite. WebEx Support Center provides an integrated suite of on-demand support and system management services. WebEx System Management Services includes:
