The Wonders of Webex
Webex: How it Can Elevate Your Teams' Efficiency'
Don’t you just love it when work gets easier?
When your boss tweaks a problematic process for the better. Or when you’re given a new tool that simplifies the complex.
Usually, of course, you have an advancement in technology to thank – a smart new platform, application, or piece of software that comes out of nowhere to positively transform your daily lot.
Although an altogether less welcome bolt from the blue, the Covid pandemic created just such a momentous moment – the rise (and continuing rise) of the communication, collaboration and file sharing platform upon which hundreds of millions of us the world over now rely.
We now spend our lives on them: virtual, all-in-one-place, multi-use office spaces which simultaneously support many of our essential workflows and enhance our efficiency and productivity.
Users of Webex by Cisco know better than most how that giant of a platform can make things easier, smarter, and more efficient. The cleverness of its AI assistant, for example, demonstrates how Cisco is at the forefront of AI innovation and collaboration; always looking to enhance the human connection experience.
Then there is easy Microsoft-aligned authentication – no separate password to remember; just sign-on with your MS credentials in the same way you do with everything else. Seamless integrations with third party calendars and file sharing applications like SharePoint, Box, and Google Drive enable users to simply drop files in without having to tell collaborators where they’ve been put. In addition, amazing AI-powered messaging tools can provide users with a summary of unread Webex chats whenever they return from an hour, week, or month away from work. And, when it comes to replying, there’s a clever rewriting tool that can be asked to make messages shorter, funnier, more polite, or more professional.
However, it’s in meetings where Webex really drives efficiency.
Users can leverage the power of the Webex AI assistant to catch-up via a short, written summary if they have to step away to take a call or answer the door; they can get a full or summarized recording or written transcription of their calls; ask for a specific participant’s opinion on a particular subject; or get a list of actions that were agreed. And, of course, it’s all multi-lingual.
A Webex tool called Vidcast is brilliantly efficient too. It enables users to quickly record an audio or video file rather than compose a lengthy written message. Research has shown that speaking is three and half times faster than typing and that people retain only 10% of what they read but around 65% of what they see and hear.
At Evolve IP, we are all over enhanced workplace efficiency. Via our growing global network of technology service provider partners, our Webex by Cisco offering is helping businesses of all sizes and verticals leverage the huge benefits that come with its deployment.
Integration with favourite applications; AI-powered intelligent content creation; less note-taking during and after meetings; fast catch-up whenever it’s needed. It’s about having today’s smartest, most-powerful tools at your fingertips.
When that’s the case, things aren’t just made more efficient, our human connections are also enhanced. Ultimately, that all means businesses deliver better results.
