“You can’t deny that the Apple Mac is becoming more prevalent in businesses; in fact, we have seen Mac usage double in last year,” said Ilan Kasaan, director of product management, Cisco WebEx. “We want to ensure that all of our customers have a successful experience, and as with all of our solutions, we are consistently upgrading to meet the demands of our growing user base.”

The expanded support for Mac OS X Leopard spans the entire Cisco WebEx collaboration suite to ensure Mac users receive the reliability, speed and support similar to what PC users enjoy.

Specific features include:

* Increased launch and join speeds for WebEx Meeting Center

* Better desktop/application sharing performance in WebEx Meeting Center

* Better presentation sharing performance in WebEx Training Center, WebEx Event Center and WebEx Sales Center

* Up to six videoconferencing channels with a WebEx Meeting Center session

* Better 3D animations in shared Keynote documents across the WebEx suite

* Improved sound quality for VoIP and audio broadcasting across the WebEx suite

Traditionally, Mac support has lagged due to the limited number of corporate users; however, as adoption of the Mac has grown Cisco WebEx has increased its support for the platform across its entire suite. Over the last 3 years, Cisco WebEx has added new features and additional support aimed at Mac users and remains ahead of the competition in supporting this segment. Most recently, the company announced that its remote access solution, WebEx PCNow, now provides support for PC-to-Mac, Mac-to-PC and Mac-to-Mac as well as Apple iPhone sessions.
