Cisco Hybrid Work

  • Working from anywhere (e.g., coffee shop, airport)
  • Working from an office or other company space
  • Working from home
I have been using Webex App as part of the implemented hybrid work solution. Webex app is playing a pivotal role in communicating with my colleagues to brainstorm ideas and collectively discuss to share files and collaborate within the team. We can configure the settings for security, recording and other preference based on the organization policies.
Integrating with existing systems such as email, calendars and corporate directories can be challenging. There was a need to ensure seamless user experience to have an increased adoption. Application and network should be configured so that the performance issues are not a blocker as the application relies on stable and high-bandwidth internet connection for smooth audio and video conferencing.
Webex app had a huge impact as it was able to support multiple languages in order to encounter the challenges of having organizations with global presence. It had support and documentation in multiple languages ensuring that the app is user-friendly for all users. Live translation in meetings also enabled to have a seamless communication across geographies.
As part of hybrid work model, ensuring a smooth interoperability is essential for users which was done by integrating with existing systems such as email and calendars. Ensuring that the application has multi-device (laptop, mobile, tablet) support and operating systems can be challenging as it handles sensitive business data and the application needs to kept up-to-date.
Webex app has effective customer support and is capable of resolving technical issues quickly. It complies with industry specific regulations and adheres to data protection laws. The customization it provides based on the needs of an organization and different licensing options, offers advantage to choose based on the needs of an organization.

Webex App Support

The support team is quick in reverting to the issues faced, and it has multiple language support, which would be very helpful for some instances. Their expertise in resolving queries is instantaneous. Most of the common lags/issues in the application are identified and fixed with regular updates.

Using Webex App

It is very useful as it has the feature to connect across multiple platforms such as mobile, tablet, and desktop. The recording option comes in handy for the meeting absentees to download the recording locally. The auto-captioning feature stands out to get the context of the meeting even when we're not connected to audio.
