[cisco-voip] CCM/CU vs CCME/CUE

[Voice Noob]

 In the end you need to decide what type of system you want to manager and
which system gives you the features that you need. True there are some
things that CME can do, such as paging, that CCM cannot do without a third
party system. They are two completely different systems aimed at two
completely different markets. You need to decide if you want to manage
multiple configurations or a central configuration. Also I would take a hard
look at not doing CUE at each location. You can do central voicemail using
Unity or Unity connection and still have all of the CME sites go back to the
same voicemail system.
