Cisco Unified Provisioning Manager significantly speeds deployments which reduces the ongoing costs and
expertise required to manage the changes that occur once the network is operational. A knowledgeable
administrator is able to configure policy at various levels that will enforce who is able to do delegated management;
for whom that delegation applies; how business-level services apply to voice and messaging applications; and which
types of end users (subscribers) are permitted to use which standard services.
Through the use of this policy and standard configuration approach, provisioning and activation of subscriber
services are greatly simplified, while the overall ability to manage and provide services that make use of the
underlying Cisco Unified Communications applications is retained. Costs are reduced, time to dial tone is reduced,
and errors are practically eliminated. Subscribers are more satisfied, and your IP communications professionals
have more time to focus on higher-value activities than repetitive operational issues.
