According to court filings and public records, ], daughter of WebEx co-founder and former Director, President, and Chief Technical Officer ], formed a business partnership with Michael Zeleny lasting from January 1995 to January 2000 known variously as LiveShare Inc. and PTYX. Zeleny claims that this partnership provided professional services to WebEx. It is further alleged by Zeleny that in 1999 LiveShare entered into an agreement with WebEx, and that in January 2000 WebEx reneged on this agreement. Zeleny also claims that at the same time, ] made a claim for childhood sexual abuse against ], which was settled out of court.


The WebEx Connect product allows for custom communication workflows, such as those used in customer relationship management. The product allows plug-ins to the WebEx platform to connect to popular messaging and social media platforms.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://cpaas.webex.com/products/webex-connect |title=Cloud communications platform, built for the enterprise}}</ref>
In January 2001, WebEx delivered to ] 5,000 shares of its stock, apparently as part of the out of court settlement. At that time, WebEx owed 5,000 shares of its stock to PTYX, of which Erin was a partner. Erin soon thereafter abandoned the partnership with Zeleny and married ] of the German band ], taking the 5000 shares of stock with her. Zeleny attempted to communicate with WebEx to recover this company asset and was rebuffed. He alleges that this was followed by anonymous threats being made on his life around the end of 2001 in the names of Min Zhu and WebEx. In response to these threats, Zeleny filed a lawsuit against WebEx. In July 2002 Zeleny’s lawsuit was transferred from Los Angeles to the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara (case number CV809286). Zeleny named WebEx, Min Zhu, his daughter Erin Zhu, and his wife Susan Xu as defendants for breach of contract and various torts.
On September 26, 2006, the company announced plans to offer a web collaboration "mashup" platform called "Webex Connect".<ref name="webexconnect">{{cite web |url=http://www.webex.com/partners/webex-connect.html |title=Webex is expanding from connecting people to connecting process and applications in real time |website=Webex |access-date=2018-11-09 |archive-date=February 26, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070226175257/http://www.webex.com/partners/webex-connect.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>


Defunct products include a business version of AOL's ] software, ], with additional features to help workers collaborate using conferencing tools offered by Webex.<ref>{{cite web|date=19 July 2006|title=AOL Launches AIM Pro Service|url=https://www.eweek.com/enterprise-apps/aol-launches-aim-pro-service|access-date=2 October 2020|website=eWeek}}</ref>
In October 2004, the defendants settled Zeleny's claims before the trial. The settlement terms remain under seal. Beginning in June 2004 Zeleny made public on the Yahoo! Finance WebEx message board the particulars of his lawsuit against the Zhus and WebEx, which included reference to the allegations of rape made against Min Zhu by his daughter, Erin. Zeleny made these postings under the Yahoo! username "ptyx". The posts remained accessible to the public until February 2005, at which time Yahoo! management closed the ptyx user account and removed all related postings. The same month Zeleny reappeared on the message board as "helicalenzyme" and continued posting updates of the legal proceedings and particulars of the cases. Zeleny justified this move by asserting that the issues are a matter of public interest. He notes that Min Zhu was serving in a position of trust as a senior executive of a publicly traded company, and has been accused of molestation in sworn testimony by his own daughter. By compounding the use of WebEx assets for ] with employing WebEx corporate counsel to defend himself in the lawsuit and accuse Zeleny of libel, Zhu has confirmed the self-dealing Zeleny alleged.


On November 17, 2014, Cisco announced an evolution of Webex called Project Squared.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://techcrunch.com/2014/11/17/ciscos-new-project-squared-collaboration-tool-gives-webex-a-run-for-its-money |title=Cisco's New Project Squared Collaboration Tool Offers Modern Alternative To Aging Webex |website=TechCrunch |date=2014-11-17 |access-date=2018-11-09}}</ref> On March 17, 2015 this effort was re-branded as Cisco Spark.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.eweek.com/networking/cisco-re-brands-project-squared-collaboration-effort-as-spark |title=Cisco Re-brands Project Squared Collaboration Effort as Spark |website=e-Week |date=2015-03-17 |access-date=2020-09-03}}</ref>
In response to Zeleny's posts on the Yahoo! Finance WebEx messageboard, in July 2004 a suit for business tort, unfair practice was filed by WebEx naming Zeleny as defendant in Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara (case number CV-024062). Zeleny's response was to allege that WebEx had knowingly filed in the wrong venue, pointing out that WebEx had relied on the principle that venue in a tort claim lies with the defendant's residence, in successfully moving for a change in venue of his own actions against it from Los Angeles to Santa Clara.


On April 18, 2018, Cisco announced that Cisco Spark would be combined into the Cisco Webex platform. On this same date, Cisco rebranded all of the rest of their Spark products to Webex, including the Spark Room Kit—now Webex Room Kit—and Spark Board—now Webex Board.<ref>, '']'', Reading, Berkshire, 25 April 2018.</ref>
Zeleny responded with a motion for change of venue to Los Angeles. WebEx refused to stipulate to the change of venue, and Zeleny argued that this showed that WebEx was attempting to harass Zeleny into silence with bad faith pleadings. The motion for change of venue was granted and the case was transferred to Los Angeles Superior Court (case number BC324927). WebEx was ordered to pay Zeleny's attorney's fees. Zeleny followed this by filing an "anti-SLAPP" motion, in which he claimed that WebEx's suit was a ] (SLAPP), a form of bad faith pleading. Again, the court ruled for Zeleny on two out of three causes of action in the defamation suit, and WebEx was once again ordered to reimburse Zeleny for his attorney's fees. Since the courts ruling on the anti-SLAPP motion, there has been no adjudication of the remaining cause of action in the defamation suit. Notably, in his declarations attached to the filings in that case, Min Zhu has refused to contest Zeleny's allegations concerning his rape of his daughter. WebEx describes its case against Zeleny as "narrowly tailored" to avoid this subject matter, in favor of contesting Zeleny's allegations of self-dealing by Min Zhu.


On May 15, 2020, during the ], Cisco CFO Kelly Kramer reported in the month of April 2020, they had 500 million meeting attendees, and that equated to 25 billion meeting minutes, using its video-conferencing application Webex.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/cisco-boasts-amazing-takeup-of-web-ex-as-lockeddown-users-flock-to-video-conferencing-175343698.html |title= Cisco boasts 'amazing takeup' of Webex as locked-down users flock to video conferencing | date=May 15, 2020}}</ref>
In November 2004, WebEx co-founder and executive Min Zhu stepped down as WebEx President and Director, though he continued to serve as WebEx CTO.


In September 2020, Cisco launched a new platform Webex Classrooms for virtual homeroom encounters.<ref>{{cite web|date=1 September 2020|title=Cisco debuts Webex Classrooms|url=https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/cisco-debuts-webex-classrooms/ar-BB18Bira|access-date=2 October 2020|website=msn news}}</ref>
Zeleny picketed the annual WebEx Experience User Conference held at the Westin St. Francis hotel in ] held on 2&ndash;3 May ]. During the picketing, a Russian rifle was discovered in Zeleny's car. The San Francisco Police Department briefly detained Zeleny. He was released after several hours when it had been determined that the weapons in his possession were legal and that he had made no threats to use them. The following morning, 3 May 2005, WebEx management announced that it was canceling the conference due to concerns over the safety of its customers and that it would reimburse attendees their fees.


On October 26, 2021, Cisco launched an update aimed to enhance virtual and hybrid in-person meetings and events, using AI-powered technology for their Webex portfolio.<ref>{{cite web|date=2021-10-26|title=Cisco launches new AI-powered and hybrid event features for Webex|url=https://venturebeat.com/2021/10/26/cisco-launches-new-ai-powered-and-hybrid-event-features-for-webex/|access-date=2021-10-27|website=VentureBeat|language=en-US}}</ref>
On 13 May 2005, WebEx announced that Min Zhu was stepping down as WebEx's CTO and WebEx leadership, and retiring to mainland ] where he would serve as a "WebEx Fellow." Zeleny claims that Min Zhu retired in response to the publicity surrounding his daughter's allegations of child rape.


In May 2024, Cisco and ] partnered to launch Webex Calling in India. <ref>{{Cite web |title=Cisco Webex |url=https://www.business-standard.com/companies/news/cisco-and-tata-communications-partner-to-launch-webex-calling-in-india-124052201122_1.html}}</ref>
Recent events bolster the allegation that WebEx management is actively trying to suppress the details of the Min Zhu controversy from the public and its customers as part of a cover up of the controversy surrounding Min Zhu. Apparently at the behest of WebEx management, Yahoo! closed Zeleny's ptyx Yahoo! account and removed all related postings from the Yahoo! Finance WEBX message board. Further, within three weeks of online encyclopedia ] mentioning the Min Zhu allegations, ] suddenly removed the Misplaced Pages article in question from its search results.

Webex by Cisco is an American company that develops and sells web conferencing, videoconferencing and contact center as a service applications. It was founded as WebEx in 1995 and acquired by Cisco Systems in May 2007. Its headquarters are in San Jose, California.

Its software products include Webex App, Webex Suite, Webex Meetings, Webex Messaging, Webex Calling, Webex Contact Center, and Webex Devices. All Webex products are part of the Cisco Systems collaboration portfolio.

History

WebEx was founded in 1995 by Subrah Iyar and Min Zhu. It had its initial public offering in July 2000. WebEx was listed on the NASDAQ National Market, and then the NASDAQ Global Select Market, when that was introduced in 2006.

Services

This section needs to be updated. The reason given is: This section is about services, not announcements of services, or announcements in general. Once events have occurred, the outcome becomes part of the state of affairs. The state of affairs is what we should be describing, not the announcements leading to it and their dates. Please help update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information. (September 2020)

At the time of the acquisition, all Webex applications were built on the MediaTone platform and supported by the Webex MediaTone Network (originally called the Webex interactive network), a global network intended for use with on-demand programs. The network was designed by Shaun Bryant, Webex's Chief Network Architect, and Zaid Ali Sr, Network Architect, to be one of the first SaaS platforms on the Internet.

The WebEx Connect product allows for custom communication workflows, such as those used in customer relationship management. The product allows plug-ins to the WebEx platform to connect to popular messaging and social media platforms. On September 26, 2006, the company announced plans to offer a web collaboration "mashup" platform called "Webex Connect".

Defunct products include a business version of AOL's instant messaging software, AIM Pro, with additional features to help workers collaborate using conferencing tools offered by Webex.

On November 17, 2014, Cisco announced an evolution of Webex called Project Squared. On March 17, 2015 this effort was re-branded as Cisco Spark.

On April 18, 2018, Cisco announced that Cisco Spark would be combined into the Cisco Webex platform. On this same date, Cisco rebranded all of the rest of their Spark products to Webex, including the Spark Room Kit—now Webex Room Kit—and Spark Board—now Webex Board.

On May 15, 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Cisco CFO Kelly Kramer reported in the month of April 2020, they had 500 million meeting attendees, and that equated to 25 billion meeting minutes, using its video-conferencing application Webex.

In September 2020, Cisco launched a new platform Webex Classrooms for virtual homeroom encounters.

On October 26, 2021, Cisco launched an update aimed to enhance virtual and hybrid in-person meetings and events, using AI-powered technology for their Webex portfolio.

In May 2024, Cisco and Tata Communications partnered to launch Webex Calling in India.

Acquisitions

The company acquired Intranets.com in 2005, providing entrance into the small- and mid-size business market through the company's customer base of businesses with fewer than 100 employees. It acquired the ability to offer online collaboration tools such as discussion forums, document sharing and calendaring while Intranets.com provided access to the Webex communications environment for its customers.

In May 2007, Cisco acquired WebEx for $3.2 billion.

In October 2020, Cisco acquired BabbleLabs.

In February 2021, Cisco acquired imimobile, a provider of communications platform as a service (CPaaS) solutions for its Webex collaboration portfolio IMImobile.

Legal proceedings and inquiries

Goldman Sachs securities fraud investigation

As a result of a securities fraud investigation initiated by the SEC and by various state Attorney General offices, Goldman Sachs faced charges of issuing unfair research, including coverage of WebEx, and IPO violations for the period 1999 to 2001. Webex management allegedly dictated to Goldman Sachs analysts what the research should and should not include. Webex maintains the management's information was accurate. Another charge accuses Goldman Sachs of violating securities law in its allocation of shares in WebEx's initial public offering.

Raindance lawsuit for patent infringement

On September 27, 2005, Webex sued Raindance Communications, Inc., a competitor, for patent infringement. On October 14, 2005, Raindance filed a countersuit against Webex for patent infringement. Both parties sought both damages and an injunction enjoining further acts they claim to be infringing on patents. On March 31, 2006, the parties agreed to the dismissal of both actions, releases of claims for past infringement, payments associated with those releases, and cross-licenses to each other's patents. The agreement resulted in Webex receiving 1 million dollars from Raindance.
