Cisco Unified Communications Manager/CallManager and UC Applications
Configuration and Troubleshooting Help from CCIE Certified Consultants
Cisco Unified Communications Manager/CallManager
Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM or CUCM), formerly known as CallManager, is the industry's leading call control platform and provides the foundation for all Cisco collaboration deployments. Unified CM offers centralized management of core services such as call control, endpoint registration and configuration, call admission control, codec negotiation, trunk protocol translation, a unified dial plan for voice and video endpoints, and Computer Telephony Integration (CTI). Call processing systems built around Cisco Unified CM scale easily and can be designed for high availability and redundancy by using Unified CM clusters.
Progent offers the remote or onsite consulting services of certified CCIE (Collaboration and Voice) subject matter experts (SMEs) who can help organizations of any size to plan, configure, manage, migrate, expand, move, and troubleshoot Cisco Unified CM environments so you can maximize the business value of your unified communications solution. Progent's Cisco Unified CM consultants can help you with dial plan design, CTI, Survivable Remote Site Telephony (SRST), Jabber-based IM and Presence, Single Number Reach (SNR), LDAP directory integration, SIP trunks, and all areas associated with call control. Progent can also provide expertise with technologies such as Cisco CUBE, H.323 and H.264 gateways, and PSTN integration. Progent's Cisco IP phone consultants can help you integrate and troubleshoot VoIP phones and Video IP phones, and Progent's teleconferencing consultants can help you set up and maintain immersive telepresence systems. Progent also offers consulting and support for Cisco's IP voice-optimized infrastructure such as Integrated Services routers, Catalyst and Nexus switches, ASA firewalls, and IP voice gateways.
Later releases of Cisco Unified CM include a wealth of improvements that expedite your return on investment by lowering management and support costs, increasing user productivity, facilitating teamwork, supporting the BYOD model of computing, strengthening security, and allowing efficient use of network resources. Top innovations include automatic dial-plan replication and batch provisioning, simplified certificate management, expanded support for single sign-on (SSO) for administrators and users, device-agnostic call recording, mobile access without requiring VPN tunneling, a revamped self-care utility that makes it easy for users to specify their preferences for all endpoints, and support for Secure Real-Time Transport Protocol for mobile clients.
In cases where you implement a central Unified Communications Manager cluster to control voice processing for customers at distributed locations, IT managers can help ensure continuous call availability using Cisco SRST, an IOS Software image for Cisco routers. If a WAN connection fails, Cisco SRST incorporated in the router offers basic Unified Communications Manager services until the link is repaired. For information about Progent's consulting services for Cisco ISR routers, refer to consulting support for Cisco routers.
For small business networks, branch offices, and retail deployments that do not need the full feature set offered by Unified CM, Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express, previously known as CallManager Express provides a cost-effective PBX alternative that handles the requirements of locations with as many as 450 users. Because Unified Communications Manager Express Unified Communications Manager Express (Unified CCX) is built into the Cisco IOS Software operating on a Cisco router, smaller organizations can rapidly deploy a unified voice/data environment.

Versions of Unified CM before 8.6 and all releases of its predecessor CallManager have arrived at end-of-life. Therefore Cisco Engineering will no longer enhance, fix, or validate this older software. Security patches for this business-critical application will stop, which in certain circumstances may cause regulatory compliance or potential liability problems.
Progent continues to offer expert consulting and support for end-of-life versions of Cisco Unified CM and Cisco CallManager, but if you are now using a legacy edition of this pivotal application you should begin immediately to prepare for your upgrade. Progent's collaboration consultants can help your company to upgrade non-disruptively to the latest edition of Cisco Unified CM and can typically save clients up to 50% off consulting fees versus competing IT service firms thanks to Progent's documented procedures and experience in this practice area.

Progent also has put together fixed-priced migration packages to make sure your costs are visible and under control.
SIP Infrastructure Integration
Session Initiation Protocol, or SIP, has emerged as the preferred call control and signaling protocol for real-time multimedia communications. Many of Cisco's new VoIP phones and IP video phones no longer support multiple protocols but are available with SIP support only. Cisco Unified IP Phones and Jabber clients use SIP to register directly to Cisco Unified CM. The popularity of SIP has led Cisco to offer a richer set of features (e.g. resource management) for SIP trunks than for H.232 trunks, and Cisco recommends SIP rather than H.323 trunks between Unified CM clusters. A SIP trunk allows you to connect your local IP telephony environment to an Internet telephony service provider (ITSP) in order to interface with the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). This is an economical way to expand your IP telephony ecosystem outside your local network perimeter without requiring a IP-to-PSTN gateway. SIP trunks support Voice-over-IP, IM, multimedia conferences, 911 emergency calls, and other real-time capabilities.
Progent's SIP integration consultants can assist you to plan, deploy and troubleshoot your SIP infrastructure to support Cisco's SIP-based VoIP phones and video phones, SIP gateways and trunking, SIP conferencing, SIP proxies, and Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE). To learn more about Progent's consulting services for SIP trunks and the Cisco CUBE session border controller, see SIP and CUBE infrastructure solutions: SIP trunks and Cisco CUBE integration expertise.
