To support Webex Teams integration with Slack, Cisco customers can leverage Mio’s Slack interoperability with Webex Teams, so employees can chat no matter which tools they’re using.
Mio syncs file sharing, direct messages, and group chat between Cisco Webex Teams, Slack, and Microsoft Teams. You can even share images created from the Webex Board, as the video showcased.
However you prefer to collaborate, wherever your teams might be, Mio keeps people and teams connected.
In the age of the diverse and evolving workforce, interoperability is key to harnessing productivity, enhancing security, and eliminating silos.
