WebEx launches WebEx WebOffice: Integrated collaboration suite for small businesses and individuals

On-Demand Leader Combines the Market-Leading Real-Time and Asynchronous Collaboration Solutions Into One Cost-Effective Suite

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 11, 2005 -- WebEx Communications (Nasdaq: WEBX), the leading provider of on-demand collaboration applications, today announced the launch of WebOffice Workgroup and WebOffice Personal, two new business collaboration offerings designed for small businesses and individuals. WebEx WebOffice integrates both asynchronous and real-time collaboration capabilities into one unified suite designed to help small businesses and professionals save time and money, and work more effectively. These two new products are the first in a planned series of WebEx WebOffice offerings designed to meet the requirements of customers ranging from large enterprises to individual users.

"By eliminating the need to invest in expensive hardware and software, software-as-a-service providers like WebEx are offering smaller organizations easy access to business solutions previously available only to large enterprises," said Laurie McCabe, vice president, SMB Insights and Business Solutions, AMI Partners. "WebEx has fully integrated its powerful real-time collaboration capabilities with the asynchronous suite of tools acquired as part of last month's purchase of Intranets.com. This makes WebEx WebOffice a very compelling offer for any business or individual looking for an easy-to- deploy solution to help run their organization."

WebEx WebOffice is available entirely online and includes powerful business collaboration applications in one integrated suite. WebOffice Workgroup is designed to meet the daily collaboration needs of small businesses, as well as groups and project teams. WebOffice Personal is perfect for managing daily activities and conducting web meetings by individual professionals such as consultants, sales representatives and mobile executives.

WebEx WebOffice is available in two versions, one for small businesses and one for individuals. Either version is available on-demand, and may be setup online in just minutes.

-- WebEx WebOffice Workgroup -- Designed to meet the collaboration and web meeting needs of small businesses with five or more users, WebOffice Workgroup provides a complete collaboration suite including a document manager, group calendar, database manager, task manager and several other collaborative business tools. WebOffice Workgroup pricing starts at $59.95 for five users. Users can add web meetings for an additional $49.95 per month per host.

-- WebEx WebOffice Personal -- Tailored to the requirements of the individual professional, WebOffice Personal provides users with real-time web meetings, document manager, task manager, online calendar, and contact manager. WebOffice Personal is offered at $49.95 per month.

"WebEx is the largest provider of web-based collaboration solutions for small businesses and professionals," said Rick Faulk, president of the WebExOne division. "These new products underscore our commitment to the collaboration needs of smaller organizations and professionals, and are part of a broader corporate strategy to bring WebEx WebOffice capabilities to companies of all sizes."
