5 Advantages of Using Webex in Your Enterprise

Hosting Scalable Events

Cisco Webex Capabilities make it easy for your business to host networking events. These can be small or even very large scale, it all just works!

Scheduling attendees is easy, as is sharing information or files with participants. You can rely on the system to make it easy for hosts and participants to allow ongoing communication once the event is over.

 

Sharing Desktops, Documents, and Whiteboards

It has never been easier to share whatever you need with exactly the right people. Webex UC allows staff members to share files, documents, message threads, calendars, and more. 

Because it is cloud-based, you don’t need to worry about shared hard drives with complex user access issues that sometimes require IT attention. Unified Communications technology aims to increase productivity without increasing your costs or burdening your IT team.

Instead, your employees can interact with each other in a fast and simple way. Making sharing easier leads to improved communication, new ideas, and great relationships between staff members.

You store all your data on the cloud, meaning that your employees can access it wherever they are, on whichever device they choose to use. Staff can securely review a document on a phone, or collaborate on a project whiteboard, even if they are out of the office.

 

Cutting-Edge Security

More people than ever are now making use of flexible work, either from home or from flexible hot desk spaces within the office. People are no longer tied to their desks, and thanks to Cisco Webex deployment, your company data is more secure than ever.

All communication is fully encrypted end-to-end, meaning that you can rest easy knowing your data will always stay safe.

This cutting-edge technology allows employees to use personal devices to communicate without becoming a security risk for your enterprise.

 

Productive Meetings

Your employees can plan, host and join meetings from almost any device, without missing out on any Webex features. Share and view files, video, and audio wherever they are.

As well as computers or laptops, the Webex Calling app works on iOS devices, Android and even in some cars. This allows your team to work on their terms and remain truly flexible.

This flexibility allows your team to work the way they want to work which translates to good staff morale and higher productivity.

 

Accessibility

Webex is designed from the ground up with accessibility in mind. It is accessible and inclusive for people of all abilities and backgrounds. Accessibility features include:

  • Keyboard Accessibility
  • Screen Reader Support
  • Closed Captioning
  • Options for high contrast fonts and icons
  • Automatic Transcripts
  • Custom Layouts
  • Gestures
  • Real-time translation

 

All these will allow more people to feel at home using Webex. People who may be hard of hearing or struggle reading from a computer screen will find it easy to use these tools, designed to make their lives easier.

The custom layouts and HD video also make it easy to include interpreters, including sign language, to further remove barriers.

While Webex makes the lives of your employees easier, it may be putting an unnecessary burden on your IT team. Managing the daily UC tasks for large organizations is slow and time-consuming.

With Webex’s self-customization features and Tuki’s simple-to-use interface, your IT team will be able to be more hands-off and focus on propelling your business further.
