WebEx Announces New Pricing Models

December 19, 2008 – 3:44 am

WebEx, Cisco’s instant web conferencing services has announced new pricing models for its online meeting services, giving the customer more options and choices when purchasing their services. The change was a reflection of user requests for most flexibility in a market that’s changing constantly.

In it’s new pricing model, WebEx end users can now purchase web conferencing services for one to nine hosts directly on demand from its website. Previously, the minimum number of hosts were five, making the service expensive for clients that required less than that for their online presentations. The changing in pricing also allows monthly and annual packages instead annual packages alone. This structure allows clients to purchase more or less services as they require it.
