Most organisations can payback the Uplinx Provisioning System within six months of deployment.”

The Uplinx Provisioning System for Cisco Unified Communications is a Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) product that simplifies the way telephony administrators can action UC MACDs. It removes the need for staff to log onto individual Cisco UC servers to provision MACDs by providing a simple and intuitive provisioning screen which allows for provisioning times to be reduced from tens of minutes to tens of seconds. More importantly, by simplifying the provisioning screen and removing the need for staff to log onto each of the Cisco UC servers, the repetitive UC MACDs can now be delegated to non-expert staff, such as service desk operators.

The Provisioning System for Cisco Unified Communications provides:

•     Comprehensive commissioning system to reduce operational costs associated with daily telephony operations (MACDs)
•     Reduce commissioning times from minutes to seconds
•     Get it right in no time, first time, every time
•     Localisation for local support staff
•     Utilise data from Active Directory (AD)
•     Create, update and delete users, provision of Cisco IP phones, Extension Mobility, voicemail and associated objects
•     Report on all actioned MACDs
•     Supports Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) and related telephony servers such as Cisco Unity, Unity Connection and Cisco Unified Presence (CUPS)

A single provisioning screen contains all Cisco elements within a Cisco UC deployment and removes the need for staff to log onto production servers. It reduces MACD processing times through a single customisable interface, which displays only relevant fields, such as extension and name ensuring company information, policies and standards are enforced. Leverage information from other systems, such as Active Directory and CUCM reduce data entry times through pre-population of data which also minimises data entry errors by IT support staff and help desks.
