Overview
Educational Institutions Use WebEx WebOffice for Scheduling and Collaboration
Educational institutions are using WebEx WebOffice for scheduling, event registration, information sharing and more. Because WebOffice can be accessed all online, it’s perfect for organizing staff, classroom activities and projects. Here is a sampling of customer case studies and a compilation of best practices using WebEx WebOffice in educational settings.
Case Studies
JA Mulrennan Sr. Research Lab at Florida A&M University, Tallahassee, Florida
The JA Mulrennan Sr. Research Lab at Florida A&M University conducts mosquito control research. It uses the WebEx WebOffice Database Manager to organize and store Abstracts on the non-target impact of pesticides, so research colleagues can quickly sort for scientific articles of interest.
“It’s very easy to set up a database with WebEx WebOffice. You can sort and group data by date, creator, region or any other field."
- Dr. He (Harry) Zhong, Assistant Professor, JA Mulrennan Sr. Research Lab, Florida A & M University
Sachem Central School District, Holbrook, New York
Sachem Central School District is the largest suburban school district in New York State. It improved productivity 30% by using WebEx WebOffice to track 5,000 musical instruments for its Music & Art Department.
"Rather than making a lot of phone calls to different buildings to find an extra flute, we just look in our WebOffice database."
- Anthony Ambrogio, Administrator of the Music & Art Department.
Trinity College, School of Business Studies, The University of Dublin, Dublin, Ireland
The University of Dublin, Trinity College, founded in 1592, is the oldest university in Ireland with more than 12,000 students and 1,200 staff members.

"I’ve introduced WebEx WebOffice to other universities in Ireland and they think it’s marvelous too."
- Dr. Mairead Brady, Lecturer, The University of Dublin, Trinity College School of Business Studies.
Union University, Jackson, Tennessee
Union University has students from more than 45 states and 35 countries and is named one of the top 500 colleges by “Time” Magazine. WebEx WebOffice helps Union University increase efficiency in coordinating complex schedules in its University Relations and Enrollment Services Departments.
"In University Relations, we work on about 1,000 projects per year and without the coordination power and ease that the WebOffice Online Calendar gives us, it would just be impossible. Our WebOffice master Calendar saves us so much time."
