Collaboration - Goes Mobile!

Well, what we've all been waiting for has arrived. The ability to leave a Web Conferencing session at your desk, transfer it to your mobile phone and continue the session while on the move. When you consider that 35% of mobile calls are made in transit, having the ability to take full featured web conferencing sessions (with voice and slides) has tremendous value in keeping employees productive while on the move.

At last week's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Cisco-WebEx announced the ability to support mobile collaboration on the iPhone, RIM/Blackberry, and Nokia N60. Functionality includes the ability to transfer sessions in progress from your desk computer to your mobile and vice-versa. To increase the safety of users taking a web conference call from the road, Cisco has added a new "one click to join" feature. Several minutes before a scheduled call, WebEx will trigger the "one click" feature allowing the user to press one button and be connected to his full feature web-conference.
