Webex

WebEx is an easy way to share ideas with anyone, anywhere.

It combines real-time desktop sharing with phone conferencing so everyone sees the same thing while
you talk. It’s far more productive than emailing files and struggling to get everyone on the same page over the phone. And it can often eliminate the need for people to travel and meet on site.

All WebEx applications are built on the MediaTone platform and supported by the WebEx MediaTone Network, a global network intended for use with on-demand programs.
