[cisco-voip] OT: Cisco Telepresence vs. independant setups

[Erick]

The vcs-e can be a challenge if you have quirks in your environment or one-offs.

We only experimented with h323 though so SIP might be easier.

My thoughts are thst integrating the environment makes for a consistent user experience.  You can register any GK compatible h323 endpoint with the vcs-e so you can migrate slowly if needed.

I understand the centralized address book, but what else? It seems like I'm building a contained solution that needs additional equipment and licenses in order to talk to these other devices, i.e. VCS Expressway.
