The course is designed for Cisco engineers and other technical professionals responsible for VoIP implementation, including voice/data integration, as well as network engineers, VoIP project managers, IT managers, and VoIP project team members.

Using best practices and processes for successful UC deployment, the company added, students will learn to manage a real-world Cisco UC project. They will follow the formal project management training framework of initiation, planning, execution, control, and formal closing, as defined by the Project Management Institute (PMI), as well as the Cisco Lifecycle Approach of prepare, plan, design, implement, operate, and optimize (PPDIOO).
