Cisco WebEx WebOffice & Workspace End-of-Life (EOL) ANNOUNCEMENT
As of December 5, 2013, Cisco WebEx LLC has begun the End-of-Life (EOL) process for WebEx WebOffice (“WebExOne”) and WebEx Workspace services.
http://www.webex.com/eol/weboffice.html

These products are being discontinued due to market demand, shifts in technology, and a change in focus and investment. There will not be a direct replacement for WebOffice and Workspace services within Cisco’s product portfolio. It is recommended that you consider alternative vendor solutions as early as possible.

It feels like Christmas for us at Same-Page.com. WebOffice arrived on the ASP / SaaS scene around the same time as Same-Page.com eStudio. Being West Coast based they had access to better coders and more money. They eventually got bought by Cisco who made a mess of it.

So listen up all of you WebOffice users. The best way to collaborate is to get everybody on the same-page.com eStudio product. Give us a call at 877-765-2655 to discuss letting us be “your alternative vendor“.

RIP: WebOffice – December 5, 2013
