Cisco WebEx and Cisco UC: coming to Chromebooks near you

Posted by Saswat Panigrahi, Product Manager, Chrome for Business  Chromebooks are designed to make computing easier and better for everyone. Businesses of all sizes prefer their low total cost of ownership,central web-based management console and built-in, strong security mechanisms. They’re also great devices for collaborating from anywhere, any time. Today we’re adding another tool for businesses to connect on the go. At the Enterprise Connect conference, Rajen Sheth, Director of Product Management, Chrome for Business announced we’re working with Cisco, and demonstrated a proof of concept of Cisco WebEx running on a Chromebook. We're also integrating Cisco UC technologies into Google Apps, helping our joint customers work better together. Imagine joining a WebEx meeting directly from Calendar, or starting an instant meeting from Contacts or the Gmail People widget. Starting today, if you use Cisco and Google Apps, features you love, like messaging, fax, click-to-call and Cisco presence, are visible alongside Gmail.
