The way we work has undergone a dramatic transformation, especially in recent years. The traditional office setting is no longer the only option, and businesses now collaborate with a diverse ecosystem of partners, customers, and vendors. To thrive in this environment, your team needs tools that facilitate seamless communication and collaboration both internally and externally. This is where Webex comes in. If you’re looking to implement a hybrid work model with both in-office and remote employees, Webex offers a flexible, affordable, and secure collaboration solution.
Understanding Webex
Webex is Cisco’s comprehensive communication and collaboration platform designed to connect everyone and support all types of work. It unifies calling, messaging, and meetings into a single application, streamlining teamwork and accelerating results.
Webex provides the essential functionality, security, and quality needed to move your critical communications to the cloud. This easy-to-use, powerful solution allows teams to stay connected from anywhere, at any time, on any device.
How Webex Functions
TelNet UC with Webex solution combines reliable cloud calling with Webex’s advanced meeting and messaging capabilities. Let’s explore its core features:
Calling
Webex integrates cloud calling and PSTN services directly into the app, giving you access to your business phone system at all times. This eliminates the need to share personal contact information. Webex can be installed on all your devices, letting you make and receive calls from your desktop, laptop, or smartphone.
Messaging
Real-time messaging, both one-on-one and in groups, helps reduce email overload. Webex offers various chat features, including deleting, forwarding, flagging, quoting, reacting, and threads, making it easy to collaborate with internal and external teams. Presence statuses provide insight into colleagues’ availability, and customizable notifications minimize distractions.
Meetings
Webex enables high-definition video meetings for up to 1,000 participants. Each user has a private meeting “room” with a dedicated phone number. Features like virtual backgrounds and noise removal help maintain a professional appearance. Breakout rooms, gestures, and reactions enhance employee engagement and participation. Screen sharing, transcription, and easy recording options further streamline the meeting experience.
Collaboration
Webex is perfectly suited for team collaboration. You can create dedicated spaces for specific projects and departments. Drag-and-drop file sharing, virtual whiteboards, and integrations with applications like Microsoft 365, Salesforce, and Google Suite streamline workflows and keep everyone on the same page. A powerful search function makes it easy to find people, messages, files, and spaces.
