What is WebEx WebOffice?
This product is squarely aimed at small-medium businesses. The typical customer is a small business (5 – 100 users), with little or no IT infrastructure, and workers in multiple locations. WebEx WebOffice is an on-demand, subscription-based service that offers email, calendaring, meetings and other office services. The pricing starts at $59.95 / mth per 5 users. Although it’s skewed towards SMB, WebOffice also has enterprises using it on a departmental or project basis – i.e. it’s not enterprise-scale, but can be used in projects or teams. The main features of WebOffice are: Group Calendaring with Outlook and PIM support; Document management; Database with customizable business templates (CRM, HR, etc.), WebEx meetings; Polls, announcements, threaded discussions and more. One thing to note however is that these products don’t use Ajax as much as products like Zimbra or Zoho. Peplau told me that WebOffice is going to offer drag and drop Ajax and similar functionality in the next upgrade
