• Cisco Unity® Connection integrates voice-messaging and voice-recognition functions to provide continuous global access to calls and messages.
• Cisco Prime™ Collaboration Provisioning provides automated processes for initial deployments and for moves, adds, changes, and deletions (MACDs).
• Cisco Licensing (including Cisco Prime Licensing Manager) makes usage and reporting simple.

Additional Collaboration Options

To complement the foundation applications listed previously, the following collaboration applications and services can also be deployed with the BE6000:

• Cisco TelePresence Server helps make video pervasive for all users from the browser to the boardroom, with multiparty high-definition (HD) videoconferencing capabilities supported as a co-resident application.
• Cisco TelePresence® Conductor simplifies and enhances conference resource management, making conferences easy to join and administer.
• Cisco TelePresence Management Suite offers flexible scheduling capabilities for video meetings, including the ability to integrate with Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft Office 365.
• Cisco Expressway is an advanced collaboration gateway that helps make collaboration as simple, secure, and effective outside the organization as it is inside.
