[cisco-voip] Having 2 Voicemail systems within the same callmanager

[Anthony Mendoza]

We are doing the exact scenario below right now.  What we have are the 2 
systems in parallel while we finish configuring the Unity 
auto-attendant, etc...  When we do the migration we will do:

1)  Let users know that the old voicemail system will be available using 
the pilot point (x8000 for us)
2)  The Messages button will be their new voicemail.

We'll leave both running in parallel and let them know the old Octel 
will be around for about 90 days and if they really need to keep 
something we'll have to manually record it for them.  This should only 
be a very small percentage of our users.  Our Unity right now is 
available via x8300 and some users are testing it out while their Octel 
box is still in production.

We're going to do a "big bang" migration so that our users won't lose 
the ability to forward messages via their handsets.
