Cisco Systems Inc. is discontinuing its WebEx Social service in a concession that its collaboration software for businesses had lagged rivals.
The world’s biggest maker of computer-networking equipment said today it will stop selling WebEx Social and replace it with a competitive product from Jive Software Inc. Cisco will continue to support WebEx Social for another two years for cloud customers and three for customers who have the software installed on their own servers.
