Easy Deployment and Management
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express VT makes it easy and affordable to integrate advanced
conferencing capabilities with Cisco Unified CallManager. It is a software solution, installed on a
single server, that supports common industry protocols—Skinny Call Control Protocol (SCCP),
H.323, and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)—to ensure connectivity with a range of video
endpoints. Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express VT maximizes an organization’s video investments
by supporting traditional room-based video conferencing and desktop video telephony
environments. And because the solution is tightly integrated with CiscoUnified CallManager,
connecting multiple users is as easy as dialing a phone number. Once configured through a simple
Web-based administration interface and registered with Cisco Unified CallManager, Cisco Unified
MeetingPlace Express VT requires little additional administrative support.

Communicator improve the productivity of their voice and video calls by adding Web conferencing.

and the interface is streamlined for meeting management and simple screen sharing of
applications or the entire desktop. Shared content scales to any screen resolution, so the content
being shared always fits into your Web meeting-room window. The full-screen mode lets you
