COST-EFFECTIVE IP COMMUNICATIONS SOLUTION FOR THE SMALL OFFICE

Cisco® CallManager Express provides call processing for Cisco IP phones. Cisco Unity Express offers voice-mail and automated attendant capabilities for IP phone users connected to Cisco CallManager Express. The voice mail and automated attendant capabilities are fully integrated into the Cisco access router using a network module (NM) or advanced integration module (AIM). With this solution, the Cisco portfolio of access routers delivers features similar to those of a key system or hybrid private branch exchange (PBX) plus the rich data and routing capabilities expected on the new Cisco® integrated services routers designed specifically for voice services and the award winning Cisco Multi-service access routers which many organizations already have deployed in their networks. Customers can now deliver IP Telephony to their small sites and branch offices with a solution that is very simple to deploy, administer, and maintain. Cisco CallManager Express with Cisco Unity Express provides customers with a cost-effective, highly reliable, feature-rich solution for an office deployment of up to 240 users.
