WebEx was founded with the desire to use the web to bring people from all over the world together, collaborate on ideas, and do business. When WebEx was founded in 1996, the market began to take off with the growth of video conferencing driven by emerging digital communication standards such as ISDN and switched digital services. Users are pleasantly surprised by the ability to incorporate real-time video and audio for extended learning, thematic events, and multimedia presentations – without the time and expense of traditional meetings.
WebEx struggled to overcome the common hurdles of commercially available conferencing software at the time. Most users feel that it would be a hassle if they couldn't customize these apps to an effective solution that met their business needs. In addition, video conferencing tends to highlight people and their faces, while the message they are trying to convey is relegated to a secondary role. The result: a large number of conferencing software sold, but few users.
WebEx started from scratch and leveraged Internet technology to design a collaboration solution that hides all the complexities. When you choose WebEx, you don't have to worry about ports, platforms, versions, firewalls, or even the Internet. All you need to hold effective online meetings is a browser and a phone. Collaboration with colleagues is a breeze with WebEx solutions – making it effortless to meet with anyone, anywhere, at any time.
WebEx was an early onset, and continues to lead the way to this day, with a powerful solution that offers the same spontaneity and interactivity as face-to-face meetings.With WebEx, users can share presentations, applications, documents, and desktops with full-motion video and integrated audio, all in a multimedia environment.
Today, organizations in many industries—including financial services, high-tech, medical, pharmaceutical, communications, manufacturing, government, and management consulting—use WebEx to support customers and every stage of the product lifecycle, driving success through real-time collaboration in sales, marketing, implementation, product development, manufacturing, training, and support.
