• Provisions all services (voice, Cisco® Unified Communications Manager video and Cisco TelePresence® endpoints, presence, voicemail, mobility)

• Audit log• Three levels of role-based access control (RBAC)

- System level, advanced ordering level, and basic ordering level (no per-domain-group granularity)

• LDAP integration, federated or non-federated, per domain group• Batch provisioning

Standard

Advanced

Multi-Cluster

• Advanced RBAC and delegation; order admins can be assigned to different domain groups of users• Ordering workflow (approver, MAC assigner, shipper, and receiver)• Batch import of users, service additions and modifications, and import infrastructure settings • Cisco Unified Communications and Cisco IOS® infrastructure templates with embedding and

chaining, keywords, and scheduled template-based provisioning• Northbound workflow API (no longer optional)• Managed services features


Provisioning Benefits

• Accelerated site rollouts and reduction in time required to add users

• Delegation of moves, adds, and changes to help desk personnel

• Lowering of training requirements through single user interface for call control, messaging, and presence

Reduced deployment and operating costs through:

• Fine-grained, role-based access control
