With customers continuing to make key decisions about moving to the cloud, Webex remains dedicated to making this transition simple and accessible to all. We’ve partnered with Phonism to simplify migrations and make Webex accessible for all non-Cisco devices. The Phonism solution is now available through Cisco on SolutionsPlus.
What is the Webex and Phonism solution?
Phonism by Inlayer provides Webex customers and partners with a flexible device management strategy that prioritizes support for non-Cisco devices. For Cisco devices, Phonism delivers an integrated experience through native integration with ControlHub. Additionally, Phonism offers a self-managed device management option for Partner Managed Devices, allowing seamless integration of third-party non-Cisco SIP devices via Webex API.
The Phonism platform features a multi-protocol API front end that enables real-time integration and management of over 320 device brands, with new additions expanding weekly. Businesses using non-Cisco devices—such as Yealink, Avaya, Snom, Poly, and AudioCodes—can leverage Phonism’s remote management, automated deployment (ZTP), and cloud migration tools. This empowers them to transition to Webex seamlessly, minimizing the need for extensive hardware replacements.
“Partnering with Cisco and bringing Phonism by Inlayer to the Webex environment marks a pivotal step forward. We’re excited to work together to create solutions that offer unprecedented control, flexibility, and scalability for businesses in their cloud migration journey, empowering organizations to manage diverse device ecosystems seamlessly.”
