and URIs are in line with the CMR template configured in TMS. As users create their CMRs, TMSPE provisions and
configures the necessary settings on TelePresence Conductor, and no further interaction is needed from an administrator.
Scheduled Audio Conferences
Customers with audio-only phones can use Cisco WebEx Software as a Service (SaaS) to host conferences. This solution
provides voice and video conferencing with content sharing capability on a single platform. Participants join the
conferences using the meeting client running on their desktop or mobile device.
Cisco WebEx Software as a Service
Cisco WebEx SaaS is a subscription-based service delivered through the WebEx Collaboration Cloud, where all the
meetings are hosted. Few components are deployed on-premises, so this option is well suited for customers who manage
their communications budget as an operational expenditure.
WebEx Collaboration Cloud is highly available and has redundancy built into the infrastructure to handle component
failure. Deploy Cisco WebEx SaaS using WebEx audio for web conferencing. Cisco highly recommends enabling HD
video for the optimal video experience and enabling SSO to allow integration with the organization’s LDAP directory for
access using common credentials.
For additional information on Cisco WebEx Software as a Service, see the product documentation.
Scheduled Video Conferences
For scheduled video conferences, use a dedicated and locally managed Cisco TelePresence Server 7010 as the
conferencing resource (Figure 9). Integrate the TelePresence Server to Cisco Unified CM with SIP trunks, and manage it
through Cisco TMS. Inside Cisco TMS, use IP Zones for optimal bridge selection (if more than one 7010 is deployed)
based on the location of the endpoints scheduled for the conference.
