Cisco Webex —
Enterprise Communications, Trusted by 95% of Fortune 500
Cisco Webex is the most widely deployed enterprise communications platform in the world — used by 95% of Fortune 500 companies for calling, meetings, contact center, webinars, and room systems. A single platform with a single admin console (Control Hub), hardware and software from one vendor, and deep integration with Cisco network infrastructure. Fibi sources and negotiates Webex on your behalf, at no cost to you.
Webex Control Hub — Single-Pane-of-Glass for the Entire Platform
One admin console manages calling, meetings, contact center, devices, security policies, and analytics across every product in the Webex portfolio. For enterprise IT teams managing multi-site deployments, Control Hub eliminates the fragmented admin experience of platforms that require separate consoles for each product.
Portfolio
Webex Platform Capabilities
Cloud calling, meetings, contact center, webinars, room hardware, and AI — all on one platform, managed from one console.
Webex Calling (Cloud UCaaS)
Webex Calling is Cisco's cloud PBX and UCaaS platform — replacing or complementing on-premise CUCM deployments with cloud-hosted calling, voicemail, call routing, auto-attendants, hunt groups, and enterprise-grade telephony features. Supports PSTN connectivity via Cisco-managed PSTN, third-party SIP trunks (Bring Your Own PSTN), or Local Gateway integration with existing Cisco on-premise infrastructure. Managed through Webex Control Hub alongside all other Webex services.
Webex Meetings
Webex Meetings delivers HD video conferencing, screen sharing, whiteboarding, and breakout rooms for distributed teams — with end-to-end encryption, lobby controls, and recording. Joins from any device: Webex app (desktop/mobile), browser, Cisco room systems, and PSTN dial-in. AI-powered features include real-time transcription, translation, automated meeting summaries, action item extraction, and catch-up summaries for late joiners. Available across Webex Suite tiers.
Webex Contact Center (CCaaS)
Webex Contact Center is Cisco's cloud CCaaS platform — supporting inbound and outbound voice, digital channels (email, chat, SMS, social), AI-powered virtual agents, agent assist, workforce management, and analytics. Designed for deployments up to approximately 1,000 agents in mid-market and smaller enterprise contact centers. For contact centers requiring 1,000+ agents or advanced WFM at scale, Cisco also offers Webex Contact Center Enterprise (WxCCE), which provides additional scalability and enterprise features.
Webex Webinars
Webex Webinars supports large-scale virtual events and broadcasts for up to 100,000 attendees — with panelist management, attendee registration, Q&A, polling, and live translation. Used by enterprises for all-hands meetings, investor relations events, training sessions, and external customer events. Integrated with the broader Webex platform, so event recordings and content are accessible through the same interface as Webex Meetings and messaging.
Webex Devices (Hardware for Collaboration Spaces)
Webex Devices is Cisco's portfolio of purpose-built hardware for conference rooms, open workspaces, and individual desks — including Cisco Room Kit video systems, Cisco Board interactive displays, Cisco Desk Pro and Hub devices, and Cisco IP phones. Webex Devices integrate natively with Webex Calling and Meetings, are provisioned and managed through Control Hub, and provide an identical experience for in-office employees joining Webex calls. Hardware-plus-software from a single vendor eliminates the compatibility complexity of mixing third-party endpoints.
Webex AI Assistant
Webex AI Assistant is Cisco's generative AI layer embedded across the Webex platform — delivering automated meeting summaries and action items after every meeting, real-time transcription and translation during calls and meetings, catch-up summaries for meetings you missed or joined late, message composition assistance in Webex messaging, and contact center agent assist with real-time guidance, knowledge surfacing, and post-interaction summaries. AI Assistant is available across Calling, Meetings, and Contact Center tiers depending on license level.
Webex Control Hub (Centralized Administration)
Control Hub is Cisco's single-pane-of-glass administration portal for the entire Webex platform — managing user provisioning, number management, device configuration, security policies, meeting compliance settings, usage analytics, and troubleshooting from one interface. Integrates with Microsoft Active Directory and supports SSO via SAML 2.0. For enterprise IT teams managing hundreds or thousands of users across multiple sites, Control Hub eliminates the operational overhead of separate admin consoles for calling, meetings, devices, and contact center.
Cisco Network Infrastructure Integration
Organizations running Cisco Catalyst or Meraki switching and wireless, existing Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) deployments, or Cisco IP phones can integrate Webex Calling with existing on-premise infrastructure via CUCM integration or PSTN gateway configurations. This hybrid architecture allows enterprises to migrate to Webex cloud calling progressively — site by site — without a rip-and-replace migration. Webex Devices are managed through the same Control Hub as software users, providing a unified administration experience across cloud and on-premise.
Ideal For
Enterprise and Large Mid-Market Organizations
Existing Cisco Customers
Organizations already running Cisco Catalyst/Meraki networking, CUCM, or Cisco IP phones have a natural migration path to Webex cloud — preserving hardware investments and integrating cloud calling via hybrid gateway without a full rip-and-replace.
Healthcare & Government
Webex for Government holds FedRAMP Moderate authorization; Webex offers HIPAA-eligible services with BAA support. Healthcare systems, federal agencies, and SLED organizations deploying communications platforms with compliance requirements are a core Webex vertical.
Multi-Site Enterprise
Large enterprises managing hundreds or thousands of users across multiple locations benefit most from Control Hub's centralized administration — single console for user provisioning, device management, number administration, security policy, and analytics across all sites.
Hybrid Workforce
Organizations requiring a consistent employee experience across office and remote work benefit from Webex Devices (in-room hardware) and the Webex app (desktop/mobile) sharing the same directory, presence, call routing, meeting links, and IT-managed security policies.
Why Webex
Key Strengths
What distinguishes Cisco Webex from other enterprise UCaaS and CCaaS platforms — and where its advantages are most pronounced.
Cisco Webex is deployed across 95% of Fortune 500 companies — more than any other enterprise communications platform. This breadth of enterprise adoption reflects the confidence of the world's largest organizations in Webex's security, reliability, and administrative control. For enterprises evaluating risk, this track record is a meaningful differentiator from newer or less proven platforms.
Webex Devices (room systems, desk phones, video bars, interactive boards) are designed, built, and managed by Cisco alongside Webex software — in the same Control Hub. This hardware-plus-software integration eliminates the compatibility risk, multi-vendor support complexity, and management fragmentation that arises from mixing third-party endpoints with a separate UCaaS platform. For enterprises with extensive office hardware deployments, single-vendor accountability simplifies operations.
Control Hub is the defining enterprise advantage of the Webex platform. A single administration interface manages users, calling numbers, device configurations, meeting policies, contact center settings, security controls, and usage analytics — across every product in the Webex portfolio. For IT teams managing complex multi-site deployments, Control Hub's operational simplicity is a material productivity advantage over platforms that require separate consoles for each product.
Webex Calling integrates with existing Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) and Cisco IP phones via hybrid gateway configurations — allowing enterprises to adopt cloud calling incrementally, site by site, without decommissioning working on-premise infrastructure. Organizations that have invested in Cisco networking, switching, and collaboration equipment can extend to Webex cloud as a migration path rather than a replacement.
