Webex grows and focuses on distance learning

Among the realities that in the last period have benefited most from the race to adopt smart working there is undoubtedly also Cisco, which with its Webex platform offers a useful tool for remote collaboration. The users of the service continue to grow: the prospect is to break through the ceiling of 600 million participants in monthly meetings by the end of October: almost double compared to what recorded in March (324 million) when the health crisis has started to make its grip felt globally.

The growth of Webex: not just for smart working

Talking about future expansion plans is Jeetu Patel, General Manager of Security and Applications division, who spoke on the pages of Reuters. The direct reference is to distance learning and more precisely to the development of a new tailor-made solution to meet the needs of schools unfortunately now due to force majeure again struggling with online lessons, a question that in these days is being holding bank also in Italy. These are Patel's words, a brief as well as an explanatory statement of intent.

We are concentrating very aggressively on the educational field.



The imminent debut in Webex of an unprecedented feature for automatic noise cancellation is also anticipated, useful for improving the quality of the experience offered on the audio front, especially for the interlocutors of those who connect to a meeting or to an online lesson from a noisy environment. It will be made available to all users who rely on the platform starting October 30, completely free of charge.
