Cisco leaps into hosted email, social networking
The Register
Austin Modine writes about Cisco’s new corporate e-mail service.
“Pitting itself directly against the likes of Microsoft Exchange Online, Google’s Gmail, IBM LotusLive iNotes, and Zoho Mail, Cisco announced a new corporate e-mail service of its own, called WebEx Email. Cisco is using technology acquired from PostPath along with WebEx conferencing for its hosted e-mail service with mobile device support and web browser access using AJAX. More importantly, it integrates with the Outlook front-end so businesses can use the Cisco service instead of managing their own Exchange e-mail service and without having to change their desktop e-mail client.”
