Small Businesses Choose WebEx WebOffice for On-Demand Collaboration

Companies Select Software-as-a-Service Leader for New ‘Office on the Web’

SANTA CLARA, Calif., February 15, 2005—Since its launch in October, thousands of new users have selected the WebEx WebOffice collaboration suite from WebEx Communications (Nasdaq: WEBX), the leading provider of on-demand collaborative business applications. WebEx WebOffice now has a customer base with over 325,000 users from small businesses worldwide who are now able to reduce costs and easily collaborate with co-workers, partners and customers, regardless of where they are located.

“WebEx WebOffice helped us remove the barriers that prevented our dispersed team members from working together,” said John S. Beckman, manager of temporary exhibits at the Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago. “It is crucial to keeping our bi-coastal and Midwestern teams on the same page. We can now share images, review construction plans in real time and keep a common calendar, all as if we were working in the same location.”

WebEx WebOffice integrates both asynchronous collaboration tools such as document sharing, calendaring, and databases with real-time collaboration capabilities such as web meetings into a unified suite, available entirely online. WebEx applications allow users in multiple locations and on diverse computing platforms to work together seamlessly, realizing the true benefits of on-demand collaboration.

One customer has significantly improved productivity by using the WebEx WebOffice database application to manage client activity and cut down on email server overload. “WebEx gives me the power to develop the customized databases I need to operate my real estate business,” said Jim Kimmons, owner of RealtyVirtualAssistant.com. “With WebEx WebOffice I can support and monitor my agents’ contracts online and allow clients to access their transaction documents at any time.”

WebEx Meetings are helping technology and education consultancy service provider, Overall Domain Concepts increase sales and expand coverage territories. “We are now much better equipped to project manage and support more geographically-dispersed customers,” said John P. Wood, partner at Overall Domain Concepts, LLC. “We couldn’t cost-effectively reach these new territories without WebEx Meetings. The application is integrated right into our WebOffice suite, is easily accessible by all of our employees, and has become crucial to our success.”

“Our customers clearly realize the value in having a WebEx WebOffice that caters to their need to do more business over the web,” said Rick Faulk, president, WebEx Small Business. “Small businesses have the same communication and collaboration needs as large enterprises, and WebEx WebOffice provides them with the tools they need to be more nimble and efficient—and at a cost their budgets can support. As the number one provider of software-as-a-service, we are proud to bring the power of WebEx to businesses of all sizes.”
