4. Anticipated Productivity Increases and 
Cost Control Boosts CWMS Deployments 
Likely the most important results of a technology 
deployment are its business improvements. In the case of 
web conferencing solutions, the business results come from 
productivity increases and cost decreases. All five companies 
expect these results from a CWMS deployment due to 
platform, system administration and user experience features:
Platform features yield:
 
Cost improvements from the virtualized CWMS architecture
 
Audio cost benefits related to Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager integration
 
Capital expense versus operating expense cost model
System Administration features yield:
 
Streamlined IT resources needed to deploy CWMS
 
Streamlined IT resources needed for ongoing system 
monitoring and management
User Experience features yield:
 
Better use of employee time – less out of office travel time 
and use of conferencing tools to accomplish what currently 
requires face-to-face meetings
 
Easy training and increased organization-wide adoption 
of web conferencing due to intuitive WebEx user 
interface and common experience across a range 
of end-point devices
In summary, the breadth of expected benefits that are derived 
from a wide range of CWMS features will likely lead to quick 
adoption of CWMS by organizations looking for an on-
premises web conferencing solution.
Right now our staff are using many different systems 
for collaboration, so bringing them all onto one set 
of tools will allow for more effective communications 
and drive efficiency.
– Ian Anderson, Lancaster University, UK
We have about 10,000 hours of scheduled 
conferencing a month, 25 percent of which includes 
video. Given this volume, the capital expenditure 
model for on-premises conferencing is much better.

The CWMS administration tool will definitely 
streamline many time consuming tasks we perform 
on our current solution, and reduce overall support 
costs for conferencing.
