Single-cluster batch provisioning for Cisco Unified Communications Manager and end-user
services: Batches used with Cisco Prime Collaboration Provisioning differ in scope from BAT files. A BAT
file acts only on the UC application it is built for. Cisco Prime Collaboration Provisioning batch files provision
settings for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Cisco Unity Connection, and IM and presence servers
in one file (Figure 10).

Policy enforcement for user services: Companies typically have policies specifying what endpoints and
services different job roles can get. Additionally, open space phones and conference/Cisco TelePresence
rooms typically have a restricted set of phone types and services. User roles in Cisco Prime Collaboration
Provisioning provide a way for the provisioning systems engineers to define and restrict which endpoints
and services a person or conference room can get. This set of restrictions also filters out the choices an
ordering administrator would see during the ordering process, reducing the time needed to make a selection
and increasing the accuracy of orders (Figure 11).
