The WebEx Meeting Center is a web conferencing software application that is offered as software-as-a-service (SaaS) by Cisco. This interactive application can be used to present information, share applications, and collaborate on projects with customers, partners, and employees around the globe, in real-time, says company.
The Cisco Unified MeetingPlace is a Unified Communications (News - Alert) (UC) solution that integrates voice, video, and web conferencing capabilities, in order to provide a natural effect for web-meetings, in a secured way. This media-rich on-premises video-conferencing application is used in conjunction with Cisco WebEx Meeting application for cost-savings advantages, says company.
According to Cisco, the users of Cisco WebEx Meeting Center on iPhone are required to click on ‘join the meeting’ link on getting an invitation and then actively collaborate in Cisco WebEx meetings, even without a WebEx account. But, users are required to have current subscriptions to the WebEx services, in order to schedule or host a meeting.
In addition, the iPhone application user will also have the facility to view content (data, presentations, documents) shared during meeting, control audio, check details, vertical or horizontal view on iPhone for convenience, and client support for nine languages, said Cisco.
Available for free download from the AppStore, the users of Cisco WebEx Meeting Center on iPhone can take advantage of simultaneous web and audio conferencing capabilities on both the 3G mobile and 802.11 wireless (Wi-Fi) networks, says company.
Cisco says that the WebEx iPhone application has the capability to support multiple telephony configurations including SaaS-based telephony from Cisco WebEx Meeting Center, premises-based telephony from Cisco Unified MeetingPlace, or telephony from Cisco's service provider partners.
Cisco revealed that it has plans to release a future version of the solution. It is expected to have enhanced collaboration features that will enable users to see meeting participants and active speaker from Cisco Unified MeetingPlace. The iPhone users will also be able to move in-session Cisco WebEx Meeting Center and Cisco Unified MeetingPlace conferences from theApple ( News - Alert) iPhone 3G to an office environment and back, by transferring the audio to a Cisco Unified IP Phone and the web conference to a computer in the future version, says company.
June Bower (News - Alert), vice president of marketing for Cisco's WebEx Technology group, said, "When a powerful collaboration solution is combined with an elegant user experience, and a choice of device, businesses and users both win."
"Three trends are disrupting past assumptions on how people interact with collaborative applications," said Mike Gotta, principal analyst at Burton Group. "First, a person's consumer computing experience will increasingly determine their mobile device preference. Second, maturing network and platform capabilities of mobile devices will make it easier to deliver new levels of application functionality. Third, the idea of 'where I am is where I work' will change the design point - and demand for - collaborative tools such as web conferencing."
