Cisco Unified MeetingPlace conferencing is a rich-media collaboration solution within Cisco Unified
Communications. It delivers an exceptional user experience with integrated voice, video, and web collaboration
and industry-leading setup, attendance, and in-meeting controls. You can realize significant cost savings and
security because the solution is deployed on-premises, over your IP network. In addition, the Cisco Unified
MeetingPlace solution extends the value of Cisco WebEx meeting applications with integrated, on-premises
voice conferencing.
Key Features
• Cost savings—Cisco Unified MeetingPlace conferencing is deployed on-premises on an organization’s
converged IP network, a scenario that can reduce costs by virtually eliminating conferencing telephony and
service fees paid to service providers.
• Deployment flexibility—On-premises voice conferencing for Cisco WebEx meeting applications—You can
deploy the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace solution as a complete on-premises voice, video, and web
conferencing solution or integrate it with Cisco WebEx web conferencing services. These solutions together
combine the cost savings advantages of on-premises voice conferencing with the productivity benefits of
on-demand web conferencing.
• Tightly integrated rich-media conference setup—Cisco Unified MeetingPlace conferencing supports
multiple interfaces for initiating impromptu conferences or scheduling future rich-media conferences. In a
single step, meeting organizers can schedule or initiate immediate voice, video, and Web resources through
a Web interface, touch-tone and Cisco Unified IP Phone, and Microsoft Outlook or IBM Lotus Notes calendar.
• Easy attendance of rich-media conferences—Attending a rich-media conference is as simple as a single
mouse click. Cisco Unified MeetingPlace conferencing simultaneously launches the Web conference and
dials out to the user’s voice or video endpoint (either a room-based video system or desktop endpoint).
Participants can also connect to the voice and video portions of the conference by directly dialing in from any
video endpoint or telephone.
• Advanced rich-media conference capabilities and control:
- Cisco Unified MeetingPlace conferencing tightly integrates voice, video, and Web conferencing
capabilities for highly engaging and productive virtual meetings and interactions. With feature-rich voice,
video, and Web conferencing capabilities, support for presentation of rich content, and preconfigured
meeting application templates, Cisco Unified MeetingPlace conferencing gives organizations a single
conferencing solution that meets a wide range of conferencing needs, including collaborative meetings,
presentations, training, and Web seminars.
- Cisco Unified MeetingPlace conferencing provides industry-leading in-meeting controls within the Web
conference. Without disrupting a meeting, users know who is attending, how users are attending (voice,
video, or web), who is speaking, and who is sharing.
- With carrier-grade hardware and advanced system software, the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace solution
delivers the scalability, reliability, simplified administration, security, and cost-effectiveness that IT
organizations require.
•Security:
- The solution offers a dedicated on-network system; each customer is provided with a dedicated Cisco
Unified MeetingPlace solution integrated with the private network.
- The solution offers Internet lockout controls; meetings can be set up as internal-only meetings and held
entirely behind the corporate firewall or as external meetings that are accessible to Internet and internal
participants. Administrators and meeting organizers have complete control.
- The solution offers access authentication, encryption, and in-session meeting controls.
