This course prepares you to design on-premise Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 7.0 or 8.0 solutions for your customers. You'll review various design options, including evaluating a pre-existing IP Telephony infrastructure. You will learn to integrate MeetingPlace with existing customer applications, and you'll learn about the integration requirements of voice/video, web conferencing, and WebEx.

Using typical customer scenarios and case studies that provide practical experience, you'll leave class prepared to design a highly available, comprehensive Cisco Unified MeetingPlace solution.
