A focus on Cloud Connect for Webex Calling

As a collaboration tool Webex is certainly well established. Cisco even claim that Webex is “One app for everything and everyone”. With over 250 million users it is in contention for one of the most widely used Unified Communications platforms. After having added calling to its portfolio of services, Cisco may well be able to back up their big claims.

What is Cloud Connect for Webex Calling?

One key feature that sets Webex apart from the competition is its voice and Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) enablement. Cloud Connect for Webex Calling is Cisco’s Bring Your Own Carrier (BYOC) offering which allows businesses to enable voice through a Carrier of their choice. There are currently 20 certified calling providers to choose from, including Tata Communications and Alphalink.

Webex Calling allows users to make and receive calls from any device with Webex, while providing features like call routing, number management, and call analytics. This integration is vital for businesses who are looking to streamline or modernize. Another upside of Cloud Connect for Webex Calling is that it is globally available across the Americas, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.

Cisco recently announced that Webex had successfully reached over 10 million voice-enabled users. An impressive feat, but this still only accounts for a small percentage of the seats utilizing Webex, presenting a sizeable potential market waiting to integrate voice. We can already see how Teams is making moves to corner the voice market, and Webex is likely not far behind.

Because of the voice connectivity it offers, Webex not only enhances customer experiences but also offers a multitude of benefits to Service Providers. But what exactly are those benefits and how does a Carrier or Service Provider get involved with Webex?

The benefits of integrating into Cloud Connect for Webex Calling can be split into four main categories.
