Cisco Unity Design & Networking

This courseis aimed at engineers responsible for the design of sustainable complex Unity solutions.

After you complete this course, you will be able to:

• Apply a repeatable design methodology during the presales phase
• Apply a repeatable design methodology during the planning phase
• Apply a repeatable design methodology during the final design and implementation phase
• Explain the migration process from a voice-mail-only implementation to unified messaging and solutions that interoperate with circuit-switched voice-mail systems
