Overview
While Jabber has supported collaboration needs well over the years, now is the time to consider upgrading that collaboration experience by taking the journey to Cisco Webex. This conversation is important now because of several key trends, which includes:
- The on-premises to Cloud transition momentum
- The world has changed and the future of work is hybrid
Cisco Webex is a key pillar to deliver the hybrid work experience and is one single application experience to access Cisco Collaboration. Webex works seamlessly with Webex devices, supporting touchless meeting starts, stops, and control. Read the full Cisco Webex guide entitled Embracing the Hybrid Workplace.
This lab gives hands-on experience with several key aspects of migrating from Cisco Jabber to Webex. With the new Webex, you can call, message, and meet in one inclusive, secure app with all the features you already love from Jabber.
What’s New in v3.1
You’ll find detailed instructions on how to migrate Jabber users through the CCUC Migration Card in Webex Control Hub.
