Cisco retires WebEx Social, partners with Jive instead

Cisco has put out to pasture its WebEx Social enterprise social networking (ESN) suite, opting instead to partner with Jive Software.

Cisco and Jive are marketing a bundle that includes Ciscos WebEx Meetings and Jabber for online meetings, Web conferencing, IM and audio/video communications and Jives ESN software, which provides Facebook like capabilities for workplace collaboration, like employee profiles, activity streams, microblogging, document sharing and group workspaces.

The bundle is already live with some customers, like Thomson Reuters, where 60,000 users can invite colleagues to and launch WebEx meetings from the Jive interface, as well as fire up a Jabber IM session from within Jive. Details on pricing were not immediately available.

Cisco and Jive plan to progressively link these products at a technology level so they work in a more integrated fashion. The companies will also offer consulting and services for customers that need customized implementations.

For Cisco, this partnership represents a shift in strategy. For years, the company pushed WebEx Socialformerly called Quadas an integral part of its overall enterprise collaboration and unified communications (UC) product stack.

Clearly the ESN suite never gained as much traction in the market as Cisco expected it to, so the company is pulling its horse from this race, where competition is broad and intense among vendors like Microsoft with Yammer and Sharepoint; IBM with Connections; Tibco with Tibbr; and Zimbra with Telligent.

Instead, Cisco wants to double-down on WebEx Meetings and Jabber, and also on its UC products, with a particular emphasis on video conferencing, a segment of the market where it sees a ripe opportunity to outfit meeting rooms of all sizes with video collaboration systems.

Were not going to rest until every single room in every single business all over the world has extraordinary video conferencing and collaboration equipment. Thats our mission, Rowan Trollope, senior vice president of Ciscos Collaboration Technology Group, said in March when the company announced an array of new and improved video conferencing products.

The way Cisco sees it, most conference rooms either dont have conferencing equipment or, if they do, the systems dont work properly, so its zeroing in on that underserved market. Developing WebEx Social further doesnt fit in with this strategy.

Cisco also faces stiff competition in this UC marketespecially from Microsoft and its Lync UC server, IBM, Avaya, Siemens Unify, Alcatel-Lucent, Mitel and ShoreTelso it has its hands full battling these and other rivals.

TeleDNA comes out with new social networking platform

TeleDNA has come out with its latest innovation in the social networking platform, which is called SocialI'.

Further, the platform also offers the ability to integrate other mobile VAS on the social platform, thereby differentiating from web based social services," according to report.
