Cisco Cisco TelePresence Management Suite (TMS) Version 15 Installation Guide
Prerequisites and recommendations
This section describes prerequisites and best practices for installing and deploying Cisco TMSPE.
Estimating your deployment size
The requirements for Cisco TMS depend on and grow with the size and complexity of the deployment. The
complexity of an installation is driven primarily by the volume of activity and number of endpoints controlled
by and bookable in Cisco TMS.

Note that with Office 365, latency towards Exchange is likely to be greater
than for an on-premises deployment. This may lead to Cisco TMSXE
occasionally saving a booking before all related events have been
processed. Users will then receive multiple email notifications for the same
booking.
