Creating memorable experiences

The Ellen Show

“It’s gotten to the point, if we weren’t using Webex Teams, it would slow down our process.”

The Ellen Show is the biggest day-time talk show in America. The show hosts everyone from celebrities to small town high school teachers and anyone in between. It celebrates people doing good in the world and is famed for surprising its guests.

Its biggest event of the year is the Mother’s Day event where mom’s and mom’s-to-be are invited into the studio audience. For the employees behind the scenes of the show, hundreds of hours are spent talking and planning. And because some things aren’t nailed down till the last minute, always-on communication tools are critical. Employees use Webex Teams to screen share and tweak documents in real time, so they can improve productivity and speed up review processes. On the day of the show, some of the moms who were unable to get tickets are surprised and included in the show through a video conference with Cisco Webex Meetings. This special event is made possible from start to finish, by connecting people through the power of Webex.

Being able to share, tweak, and review Microsoft Office docs in Webex Teams and see changes as they are being made is huge.
