Meet Me Halfway with WebEx Event Center
WebEx Even Center is currently being used across our entire organization and is part of our Cisco Unified Communications effort. WebEx Event Center addresses our need for an online meeting platform as we are a global company with offices in several companies. WebEx is also integrated with our Jabber chat client for on-demand meetings and our LMS for virtual training.
- WebEx Event Center is tightly integrated with Outlook, Cisco Jabber chat client, and our LMS for seamless event creation and management.
- WebEx Event Center allow the user to easily control the options for each event for a quality presentation and interaction with the audience.
- WebEx Event Center supports several audio options including VOIP and allows us to record meetings.
- WebEx Event Center recordings are stored in a proprietary file format that is not easily converted to modern video formats. Storage limits are costly.
- WebEx Event Center requires a browser plugin to launch events, which can difficult when using a corporate managed device.
- The WebEx Event Center portal could be more intuitive to navigate and use.

- WebEx Event Center has allowed us to lower training costs by offering additional online options that can be managed through our LMS.
- WebEx Event Center has helped to lower travel costs for global meetings.
- WebEx Event Center has provided a platform for easy collaboration among our various business units.
- Adobe Connect, GoToMeeting and Join.me
In my opinion, WebEx Event Center is one of the more reliable and accessible tools in its space. Video and audio streams are solid and it offers many of the features that a company would ask for from a tool like this. I will say that Event Center could learn from products like Join.me when it comes to meeting recording and downloading.

Our company is currently following a hybrid work model that is managed by individual teams/supervisors. There has been several models that we have tested and this has worked best for our employee base. Cisco WebEx allows us to stay connected during hybrid work with chat/spaces and meetings. We have also conducted several training sessions over WebEx in the last couple years. The platform has improved over time and become a more competitive solution.
Finding a model that worked for everyone and making sure everyone had the resources they needed to effectively do their job remotely. There were also challenges that we faced with certain groups using the technology off-site. We held several training sessions to assist with the transition and bring people up to speed.
Cisco's hybrid work solutions have really kept everyone connected. Not that everyone is completely happy with meeting remotely, but it still allows meetings, training sessions, and other work to be completed on time. Chat groups allow for collaboration over time on projects. Webinars allow for training and meetings. The improvement to recording meetings and integrating apps have only expanded our use of the platform.
I personally feel a better work/life balance with the hybrid model. At home, I have a more flexible, yet focused space to complete my work. The office is still there and allows for the human interaction that we often crave after time apart. Each employee's experience is different and personal to their situation and style of work. The hybrid model allows for everyone to find their own flow and pattern to work.
I was not part of the decision to choose Cisco and we were using it prior to our switch to hybrid. I was not happy with the choice to go with Cisco at first. I felt WebEx was lagging behind the competition... especially products like Zoom, Slack, Discord. However, recent updates have made huge strides in the right direction and I feel that it is a competitive product now. Recording files have switch to mp4 for better compatibility. The chat app is now more like Slack in functionality. And easy integration of third party services has expanded usability during meetings.

Webex Webinars (formerly Events) is used by a smaller audience in our company. Primarily our training and communications departments, due to the nature of the product. While all employees engage with Webex Meetings, Webinars is reserved for special or larger events that require unique features that aren't used on a daily basis.

This is a mix of I.T. support that is trained on a technical level and functional support that is trained for the usage and lower level troubleshooting of the product. The product runs with very few issues, so little technical support is required on a daily basis. The primary support is need when new users what to leverage the functionality of a Webinar.

Great Communication tool with good accessibility features!
I use it to manage online meetings with both internal staff and external non-department staff. I have also used it to conduct and record training.
- Automated captioning
- Ability to edit the captioning
- Easy ability to allow others to share their screen
- Easy ability to mute others
- A password protected webex required to manually type in the password vs. copy/paste
- I wish there was a way to pause a recorded webex and restart the recording without being two separate recordings

- Meetings have allowed recording of conversations for later reference
- Meetings allowed for clarification of project objectives
- Recordings have allowed to use it as a training tool, huge time savings
- Microsoft Teams and Zoom
I think Webex is comparable to Zoom in features and quality. We chose it because we use the whole suite of Webex tools.
- Webex Meetings
- Webex App
- Webex Calling
- Working from an office or other company space
- Working from home
We have been using the hybrid approach since 2019. Make clear policies on how you will use it to know availability of all staff. Figure out how management wants to communicate your status. Figure out whether staff need to have video on or optional during meetings. Definitely leverage Webex chat groups to streamline project communication.
- Making sure everyone had adequate hardware to access the state network
- Adequate bandwidth to get work done efficiently
- Increased communication on when staff will be out and available
- Equivalent response time if people were in the office
- Workforce shouldn't be able to tell whether you are in the office or working offsite. Abilities to do duties should be the same.
- If work from home does not work for some, give the ability to work in an office.
- Having 'face to face' communication via video conferences is available 24/7.
- It has also given some staff the ability to work from any location while dealing with personal matters. Work and availability is still possible.
- Giving the ability to reduce office space leasing, cost savings since staff only need to be in the office occasionally.
If we need to step through a technical support issue, we just share our screens and work through the issue very quickly.
Chat threads can be searched to go back through to verify what's discussed or to review how something resolved.
Team chats allow everyone to talk real-time to work through issues, ask questions and for everyone to hear the same thing.

We have not really used another approach, other than traditional communication methods such as email, email groups or phonecalls.
We do also use a project management tool but that tool could not be a replacement for Webex, used in tandem.
