Key strengths
- Pure cloud with no hardware dependency — no Cisco devices required
- UCaaS + CCaaS + AI on one platform with a single admin portal
- AI Agents that autonomously handle inbound voice and chat end-to-end
- Sales Dialer with predictive and power dialling for outbound teams
- Wholesale Voice and CC Routes for carriers, operators, and resellers
- Simpler administration compared to Cisco enterprise platform complexity
Cisco Webex is Cisco's cloud collaboration and communications suite covering meetings, calling (Webex Calling), contact center (Webex Contact Center), and team messaging. Part of Cisco Systems' broader networking and enterprise technology portfolio. Webex Calling provides cloud PSTN replacement and UCaaS for enterprise and mid-market customers. Webex Contact Center is a cloud CCaaS product. Cisco acquired BroadSoft in 2018, and BroadSoft's architecture forms a significant part of Webex Calling's underlying platform.
Typical buyer profile
Enterprise and mid-market organisations already in the Cisco ecosystem — running Cisco networking, Cisco IP phones, or Cisco security — evaluating cloud communications. Also organisations comparing UCaaS and CCaaS options across enterprise vendors and reviewing whether Webex meets their contact center and AI requirements.
Key strengths
- Deep integration with the Cisco ecosystem — networking, security, and Cisco IP devices
- Large enterprise installed base with extensive Cisco partner and reseller network
- Webex Meetings widely adopted as a video conferencing tool in enterprise organisations
- Broad Cisco professional services, certifications, and support infrastructure
Cloud Phone System
MCC Business Phone is a pure-cloud system with no hardware required — auto attendant, IVR, call queues, call forwarding, ring groups, and call recording are all configured from a web-based admin portal. MCC connects directly to its own carrier infrastructure and scales seats without hardware procurement or Cisco device dependencies. Organisations can use softphones or standard SIP devices.
Webex Calling is Cisco's cloud PSTN replacement and UCaaS offering, built on architecture acquired from BroadSoft in 2018. It supports cloud calling for enterprise and mid-market organisations, with options for Cisco IP phone deployment and integration with Cisco's broader networking stack. Webex Calling is typically positioned alongside Cisco's networking and security portfolio and is enterprise-priced, often bundled within Cisco agreements and ELAs rather than sold standalone at transparent per-seat rates.
Contact Center
MCC Contact Center is a cloud CCaaS product with inbound ACD, outbound Sales Dialer, skills-based routing, call queuing, supervisor monitoring (listen, whisper, barge), real-time dashboards, and analytics. AI Contact Center adds autonomous AI agents, live transcription, agent assist, and post-call summaries. Business phone and contact center are managed from the same admin platform.
Webex Contact Center is Cisco's cloud CCaaS product, providing inbound and outbound contact management, skills-based routing, supervisor monitoring, omnichannel support, and analytics. It is part of the Webex suite and integrates with Webex Calling and Cisco's broader collaboration portfolio. Webex Contact Center is targeted at enterprise and mid-market deployments and is typically acquired through Cisco's enterprise sales and partner channels.
AI Capabilities
MCC AI Agents autonomously handle inbound voice and chat — completing full call flows without transferring to a human agent for routine enquiries. MCC AI Contact Center adds real-time transcription, post-call summaries, sentiment analysis, and AI-assisted agent prompts during live calls. These capabilities are available as part of the MCC platform rather than as separate add-on integrations.
Webex includes AI features across its suite — real-time transcription, post-meeting summaries, noise removal, and AI-generated meeting highlights are part of the Webex Meetings and Calling experience. Webex Contact Center includes AI-driven features such as virtual agents and agent assist. Fully autonomous AI agent handling for contact center inbound — where an AI completes a call flow without a human — is available in Webex through its virtual agent capabilities, though depth and configuration complexity vary by deployment.
Pricing & Complexity
MCC is designed for straightforward deployment without an enterprise sales cycle — business phone and contact center are provisioned via the admin portal with no hardware procurement steps. Pricing is available directly from MCC without requiring a Cisco partner or reseller engagement. Contact MCC to discuss pricing for your team size and use case.
Webex is an enterprise platform and is typically enterprise-priced. Webex Calling and Webex Contact Center are often bundled within larger Cisco agreements, ELAs, or partner quotes rather than available at published standalone per-seat rates. Organisations evaluating Webex typically engage Cisco's enterprise sales team or a Cisco-certified partner. Deployment complexity reflects Cisco's enterprise architecture, and organisations without existing Cisco expertise may require Cisco professional services or partner assistance.
Wholesale Voice
MCC operates Wholesale Voice and CC Routes for carriers, operators, resellers, and high-volume businesses needing voice termination via API. This carrier-layer infrastructure allows partners and high-volume customers to route traffic at wholesale rates. Cisco Webex does not offer a comparable wholesale voice product for third-party operators.
Cisco Webex is a business communications and collaboration suite. No wholesale voice termination product for third-party carriers or operators was identified in the Webex portfolio. Businesses needing wholesale voice infrastructure alongside UC require a separate provider.

Switching from Cisco Webex to MCC
Common factors businesses consider when evaluating a platform transition from Cisco Webex.
Platform consolidation
Businesses evaluating MCC often want to reduce the number of separate communication platforms they manage. Combining UCaaS, CCaaS, and Wholesale Voice on one system simplifies admin, billing, and support.
Agent workflow migration
Contact center teams moving to MCC typically consider routing configuration, queue setup, and agent training. MCC's admin portal is designed for communications administrators without specialist telephony expertise.
AI feature adoption
Teams exploring MCC's AI Agents and AI Contact Center often start with specific use cases — automating high-volume inbound queues, adding real-time transcription, or deploying post-call summaries. MCC AI is built into the platform rather than sold separately.
Call routing migration
Migrating IVR flows and call routing from any platform requires mapping existing rules to the new system. MCC's team works with businesses during onboarding to replicate routing logic and validate call flows before going live.
Typical onboarding process
Contact MCC to discuss your current Cisco Webex setup and what a transition would involve for your team.
