Microsoft Outlook Calendar and Meeting Notification Integration
Cisco Unified Presence can incorporate Microsoft Outlook free and busy data when publishing a
user's availability. This feature helps end users maintain their availability and status information
automatically. Users logged into the Cisco IP Phone Messenger service can also view a list of
meetings for the day, receive meeting notifications, view participant lists, and join conference calls
through the single click-to-join feature. This feature requires the establishment of a gateway
connection to the Microsoft Exchange Server. This feature works with both Microsoft Exchange
Server 2003 and Microsoft Exchange Server 2007.
Mobility Feature Enhancements
Mobile users with dual-mode phones (Wi-Fi and GSM) connected to Cisco Unified
Communications Manager can now share the status of their mobile devices through Cisco Unified
Presence. Busy, idle, and do-not-disturb information set on the mobile device is displayed
automatically to users in the Cisco Unified Presence environment.
IBM Sametime Interoperability
Cisco Unified Presence integrates the IBM Sametime 7.5 client with the Cisco Unified
Communications solution. Sametime users can initiate calls on their Cisco Unified IP Phone using
the click-to-call feature. The integration also provides Sametime users with the capability to receive
the Cisco Unified IP Phone status of users configured in their buddy lists. This feature requires the
establishment of a gateway connection to the IBM Sametime Server.
Microsoft Office Communicator Interoperability
Cisco Unified Presence helps users with the Microsoft desktop environment interoperate with
Cisco Unified IP Phones connected to Cisco Unified Communications Manager. It supports
Microsoft Office Communicator click-to-dial and phone monitoring functions with all the associated
features. Interoperability is made available by activating the Microsoft Office Communicator
capabilities in Cisco Unified Presence and identifying those users who want to use Microsoft Office
Communicator. The Cisco Unified Presence integration supports both Live Communication Server
(LCS) 2005 and Office Communication Server (OCS) 2007. (Refer to Microsoft specifications for
the full requirements and list of capabilities supported by Microsoft Office Communicator.)
SIP Proxy Services for Cisco Customer Voice Portal
Cisco Unified Presence provides the SIP proxy services needed to support large Cisco Customer
Voice Portal 4.0 (and higher) deployments. Centralizing the Cisco Customer Voice Portal dial plan
using Cisco Unified Presence helps reduce initial setup time and on-going administration of the
Cisco Unified Communications solution. Customers can also choose to install redundant Cisco
Unified Presence when high availability is required.
Product Architecture and Features
Software Structure
Cisco Unified Presence uses the same platform infrastructure as Cisco Unified Communications
Manager 6.0, following its appliance model principles. Cisco Unified Presence is a single software
entity that provides access to administration with a GUI and allows initial setup and installation
through a command-line interface (CLI) similar to those for other Cisco products. Information
retrieval takes place through standard interfaces such as Cisco AVVID Extensible Markup
Language (XML) Layer (AXL) and Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP).
