"You can't deny that the Apple Mac is becoming more prevalent in
businesses; in fact, we have seen Mac usage double in last year," said Ilan
Kasaan, director of product management, Cisco WebEx. "We want to ensure
that all of our customers have a successful experience, and as with all of
our solutions, we are consistently upgrading to meet the demands of our
growing user base."
The expanded support for Mac OS X Leopard spans the entire Cisco WebEx
collaboration suite to ensure Mac users receive the reliability, speed and
support similar to what PC users enjoy.
Specific features include:
-- Increased launch and join speeds for WebEx Meeting Center
-- Better desktop/application sharing performance in WebEx Meeting
Center
-- Better presentation sharing performance in WebEx Training Center,
WebEx Event Center and WebEx Sales Center
-- Up to six videoconferencing channels with a WebEx Meeting Center
session
-- Better 3D animations in shared Keynote documents across the WebEx
suite
-- Improved sound quality for VoIP and audio broadcasting across the
WebEx suite
Traditionally, Mac support has lagged due to the limited number of
corporate users; however, as adoption of the Mac has grown Cisco WebEx has
increased its support for the platform across its entire suite. Over the
last 3 years, Cisco WebEx has added new features and additional support
aimed at Mac users and remains ahead of the competition in supporting this
segment. Most recently, the company announced that its remote access
solution, WebEx PCNow, now provides support for PC-to-Mac, Mac-to-PC and
Mac-to-Mac as well as Apple iPhone sessions.
