History of WebEx

WebEx was established in 1996 with the goal of using the Web to connect people worldwide to work and collaborate on business, creative ideas, and projects. It started with the rising digital communications standards like ISDN and Switched Digital Service, and eventually progressed into the development of video conferencing. The time and cost incurred by traditional conferences were reduced as the service showed potential in providing extended learning, keynote events, and multimedia presentations combining live video and audio.

While WebEx is now an industry leader, the journey to the top was not an easy one. WebEx encountered problems developing their user conferencing software, mainly because video conferencing was inclined to focus on people’s faces rather than the important information needed to be communicated. Many bought the software, but few actually used it. To overcome the obstacles of the software, WebEx used Internet technology to create collaboration solutions and reduce complexities. It also eliminated concerns about ports, platforms, versions, firewalls and the Internet. As a result, WebEx came out with enhanced user-friendly software that enables you to conduct effective online meetings with just a browser and a phone. WebEx made online meetings effortless and convenient – available anytime, anywhere.
