C. User Experience
User experience is where CWMS gets its highest marks, which 
is not surprising given the fact that CWMS draws straight from 
the public cloud version, now over 10 years old, with over 6.8 
million registered hosts, 7.6 million monthly meetings, and 1.8 
million mobile client downloads. 
Customers interviewed were familiar with other web 
conferencing products and agreed the CWMS user experience 
is a strong competitive advantage. Further, they cited the 
iPhone and iPad clients (Figure 4) are a distinct benefit versus 
comparable solutions.
All interviewed had been waiting for this product, looked 
forward to providing the WebEx experience to employees 
from their data center, and were pleased that version 1.0 is 
now shipping.
The beta users loved the iPad and iPhone clients 
and were impressed with how easy it is to join and 
participate in conferences from any location.

With the option of using the phone or a PC, we’re 
not forcing people to use USB headsets plugged 
into their computer. And users have the option of 
dial-in and dial-out.
– Ian Anderson, Lancaster University, U.K.
We have users on many types of devices, so having 
the WebEx user experience across all the different 
end-points is a great benefit.

CWMS has a sleek but straightforward interface 
which will drive adoption of web conferencing in our 
organization. Integrated video, chat, and document 
sharing are all going to add lots of value to users.
