Stranger Things Have Happened – Cisco Spark Is Now Cisco Webex Teams

Webex Teams takes all the features from Cisco Spark, but on the same platform as Webex.

Just over a month ago Cisco announced that Cisco Spark was rebranding and integrating it with Webex to become Webex Teams. In that time there have been some great features released and the new Webex Teams brand is really making waves.

We think the new Cisco Webex Teams rebrand launch is pretty slick and Cisco does not miss a trick using Millie Bobby Brown from Stranger Things (Netflix Original Sci-Fi drama) in their new video. The young star was recently named in Time magazine’s Top 100 list of influential people of 2018. This could be Webex Teams year!

Webex Teams takes all the features from Cisco Spark, but on the same platform as Webex.

Jonathan Rosenberg, CTO for Cisco’s collaboration business, said in a recent blog that bringing the Spark and Webex platform together would help Cisco simplify what had become a confusing mix of applications, features and capabilities while the two systems lived side-by-side.

“The convergence of the Webex and Spark platforms is far more than just a rebrand,” Rosenberg wrote. “Significant technical work has gone into combining these platforms.”

Bringing the two platforms together also expands audio and video services, unifies the platforms’ analytics capabilities and allows Cisco to give Webex the flexibility to be used securely between users and outside companies, a feature that Rosenberg says bests competing collaboration offerings on the market.

So why do Cisco Webex Teams make work intuitive?

Teamwork isn’t just about meetings.

You can get face-to-face with colleagues to connect like you’re in person. Keep working together seamlessly before, during and after meetings.

You can work anywhere on any device. Webex Teams adapts to fit your work style and gives you full office capabilities wherever and however you want to get work done.

Webex Teams is safe and secure. You can share between internal and external team members and never worry that your presentations, files, and conversations might be exposed to the world. Webex Teams is secure end to end.

It integrates with your workflow and all your essential business tools, so you can easily connect to the apps you already use every day.

Instead of adapting to the way it works, you get to choose exactly how to use it. Message, meet, share, draw, and much more. Webex Teams is designed to work the way your teams work.
