Cisco Voice and Unified Messaging solutions provide voice, email and fax message access from a single interface, and allow voice message access from a variety of devices and applications. The return on investment (ROI) related to a Cisco Unified Communication system deployment is greatly accelerated because there is no longer a need for smaller PBXs or key systems deployed at remote sites. As long as there is IP reach ability from the IP phone to the Call Manager, phone calls can be made. Device may also be connected to the Internet as long as they have secure VPN tunnels to reach the internal Call Manager. Cisco Call Manager is the underpinning of the unified communications infrastructure. Call Manager handles call routing and, because the underlying protocol is based on the Internet Protocol (IP), geographical boundaries no longer apply to the deployment of this voice system. Branch locations and small office, home-office (SOHO) workers can be distributed throughout the world using the headquarters for all call setup and call teardown activity. Cisco Unified Personal Communicator simplifies the way workers share information by helping them to communicate in real time. Its user-friendly GUI (Graphical User Interface) makes it easy to move through multiple communications applications. The Unified Personal Communicator bridges the gap between the stand-alone applications on the desktop, telephone and network. Using dynamic presence information, employees can search existing directories to locate contacts and simply click to call using voice and video, allowing them to exchange ideas face-to-face. The virtual nature of IP networks allows remote or traveling employees to securely access these tools from wherever they are. Cisco unified communications combines individual systems with different communications capabilities into a cohesive, powerful communications system that unleashes human capabilities that are enabled from the utilization of the system. Whereas human collaboration has the power to transform, unified communications is the enabler. Deployed at a branch office, Cisco Unity Express can function in a survivable configuration with centralized call control. It can also network back to a centralized Cisco Unity or Cisco Unity Connection site, allowing employees to communicate from one location to the other with ease and familiarity.
