The all new Webex experience: calling, messaging and meeting in one easy-to-use and secure app
Never before have we seen business innovation this rapid, and competition this intense. Businesses will rise and fall by the strength of the teams that fuel their agility. Collaboration often includes not only internal colleagues, but ecosystems of external experts and partners as well. To support your teams, you need tools that bring people together easily and enable them to work together productively. At the same time, you need to meet increasingly complex security and compliance requirements, which are key to keeping your information safe and secure. It’s time for you to look at the new team collaboration experience enabled by Webex.

You can start calls instantly, have high-quality video meetings with screen-sharing at the touch of a button, and stay connected after. Express your ideas on digital whiteboards that colleagues can add to at any time. When teamwork flows into meeting rooms, bring the Webex experience with you. Just connect the app to a Webex device to start meetings wirelessly, share your screen, capture life-size whiteboard drawings, and more. That’s Webex moving all your work forward. Are you in?

●Magical experiences with Webex devices: The Webex app works seamlessly with Webex devices to give you the best possible video meeting and teamwork experiences. Simply connect the app to a Webex device to start meetings, share your screen, or even move calls if you need to change locations. And when you’re connected to the Webex Board, you can instantly save whiteboard drawings created on the touchscreen to share with others, no matter where they are. No complicated setup, cabling, or productivity disruption. Everything is compatible. Everything just works.
●Integrate with other tools for an uninterrupted workflow: Webex delivers pre-built solutions with third-party applications from vendors such as Microsoft, Google Cloud, and Salesforce to deliver complete collaboration experiences. With Microsoft Office 365, Microsoft Exchange, and Google Calendar integrations, you can view your meeting list right in Webex, making it easy to stay on top of your upcoming appointments and join meetings with push of a single button. New meetings are scheduled with ease, automatically including all the people you need and the join details. Further, users can share and edit files from Microsoft OneDrive and SharePoint Online right in Webex, eliminating app switching and file sprawl. Other integrations can be set up using the Webex App Hub to connect your teamwork in Webex with the work happening in other tools such as Service Now, Trello, Asana, Salesforce, and Jira, shared during meetings can be easily reviewed by everyone later.
●Interoperability for speed and convenience: In addition to the immersive experience delivered in the Webex app and on Webex devices, meeting participants can join Webex meetings from standards-based SIP video devices, right from their phones using a call-in number, or even Microsoft Skype for Business. And for meetings that happen outside of Webex, you can easily join any standards-based SIP-compliant meeting.

Strategic Alliances and Integrations Enable Comprehensive Calling, Meetings, and Messaging Capabilities
In my role as a product manager here at Cisco, I regularly talk to customers about their collaboration environments. One question I get asked is what they can do to bring together collaboration tools from different vendors…
The Webex unified app is providing our customers with comprehensive calling, meetings, and messaging capabilities that integrate with our award-winning video devices and IP phones. The result is seamless and consistent workflows.
But we are also aware that many customers have existing investments in place with collaboration tools from other vendors, and we are committed to making sure that Webex is an open platform, that integrates with 3rd party applications to ensure our mutual customers have a solution that delivers the best possible outcomes.
Earlier this year one of my colleagues talked about how we are enabling organizations with Microsoft Teams and Slack messaging users to start Webex Meetings from these applications.
Now, new Cisco calling integrations allow you to use all your enterprise-grade voice and video calling features in combination with these messaging platforms.
Cisco Calling Integrations
Calling integrations allow you to expose Cisco calling buttons directly in other vendors messaging apps. We’ve built the Cisco calling integrations to provide you with flexible solutions plus we’ve made them very easy to deploy. We started with Microsoft Teams and Slack messaging apps. To deploy a Cisco calling integration you simply select the Cisco client you are using for calling and the calling platform you want to use.
When you have added the Cisco calling integration, you can launch a Webex Teams or Cisco Jabber call directly from your messaging app. When you click the call button, the integrations identify who you’re chatting with, resolves their calling address, and passes this information to your installed Cisco client which starts a Cisco voice or video call. The integrations support all Cisco calling platforms including Cisco Unified Communication Manager (UCM) based on-premises and hosted deployments, and Webex Calling for cloud.
There are no complex back end changes to make as these are client integrations. There are no call routing policies or dial plan changes to make, no additional licenses required, and no new hardware to manage. You can even use the calling integrations with desk phone control, which means your users don’t have to replace their handsets.
Cisco Calling from Slack
Slack has made its messaging platform very open to integrating calling providers like Cisco. Adding the Cisco calling integration to Slack means you use the native Slack call button to start a Cisco call directly from Slack.
This could be using Webex Teams or Cisco Jabber as your softphone or controlling your desk phone. If your Cisco client is controlling your Cisco desk phone clicking the call button in Slack causes your Cisco desk phone to go off-hook and call your colleague.

Slack is popular with developers where users tend to like keyboard commands to take actions like making calls. Talking to Slack users it becomes clear this is a requirement for Slack users so we implement “/jabber” and “/webexteams” slash command allowing you to make calls at the command line.
We are continuing to work in partnership with Slack and plan to implement Slack’s new shortcut controls shortly. This will give you more calling destination selectable directly in Slack.
Cisco Calling from Microsoft Teams
The Cisco calling integration for Microsoft Teams has been available from the Microsoft Teams app store for just over a month now. This month we have extended it with new features and functionality. In addition to supporting Microsoft Teams desktop and web users, this month we added support for mobile and tablet devices. We also added new contact search capabilities, you can now search your Microsoft 365 Outlook contacts and call them using your Cisco calling platform via the integration.
Building Bridges with Webex
These two new calling integrations are just examples of the many integrations that the Webex platform supports, enabling people to enhance their communication and collaboration within their everyday workflows. For example, we’ve also worked with Microsoft to integrate Microsoft SharePoint and OneDrive Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solutions into Webex team messaging services to streamline collaboration on documents.
