This new hybrid solution will be the first ever to support both cloud and on-premises Cisco voice, video, and meeting solutions in one place. It enables complete performance and experience management to help users collaborate seamlessly. With IR Collaborate, customers can:

• better manage their Webex deployment.
• access key success metrics, such as user adoption, device utilization, and service health.
• proactively monitor, troubleshoot and be alerted to issues across their UCC ecosystem.
• have visibility not just within Webex Meetings, but across their entire environment, including existing on-premises Cisco voice, video, and contact center (CC) solutions, as well as other vendors UCC platforms and services, networks, devices, SBCs and more.

“Today’s organizations realize that optimizing workforce experience is the accelerant for productivity. While there is an emerging trend toward integrated communication and collaboration platforms, most workplaces employ “best of breed” solutions from a variety of vendors in compliance with the needs and requirements from the workforce.  This requires multi-service management that puts workforce experience first.” Marc Beattie, Senior Analyst & Managing Partner, Wainhouse.
