Cisco Prime Collaboration 10.5

Deliver superior end-user quality of experience and lower operating expenses with
simplified, unified management across voice and video collaboration networks.

Enterprise networks are undergoing continuous transformation as organizations invest in next-generation

collaboration technologies with integrated voice and video deployments. IT departments must be empowered to

effectively manage this transformation and the lifecycle of these networks, services, endpoints, and collaboration

architectures. They also must meet demands from end users for anywhere, anytime network access with

consistent high quality of service. At the same time, these organizations are under increasing pressure to reduce

operating expenses and optimize limited resources.

Traditional siloed, nonintegrated management tools have made it difficult for collaboration network operators to

quickly and effectively troubleshoot issues, provision new users, or perform changes. The result is collaboration

network management operations that are complex, manual, error prone, and inefficient.

Cisco Prime

™

Collaboration addresses these challenges by providing simplified, unified management for voice and

video networks. The solution helps ensure a superior end-user quality of experience, lowers operating expenses,

and allows enterprises to extract the full value from their unified communications and collaboration technology

investment.

Cisco Prime Collaboration Overview

Cisco Prime Collaboration removes management complexity and provides automated, accelerated provisioning,

real-time monitoring, proactive troubleshooting, and long-term trending and analytics in one integrated product.

The solution delivers a premier operations experience through an intuitive user interface and optimized operator

methodology, including automated workflows that ease implementation and ongoing administration.

Provisioning

Provisioning features include automated processes for Cisco

Unified Communications (UC) and Cisco

TelePresence

“day-1” initial deployments and for “day-2” moves, adds, changes, and deletions (MACDs). An

intuitive user interface provides a single view of a subscriber and the subscriber's services (see Figure 1) as well as

a consolidated view of subscribers across the organization. With these capabilities, Cisco Prime Collaboration

significantly accelerates site rollouts and dramatically reduces the time required for ongoing changes, resulting in

exceptional productivity gains and lower operating expenses. In addition, by significantly simplifying moves, adds,

and changes, the solution facilitates delegation of these tasks - allowing organizations to optimize IT resources and

further reduce total cost of ownership.
