[cisco-voip] Corporate Directory Replacements

[Tanner Ezell]

Honestly, doing this yourself would be fairly trivial if you already have some experience with XML/SOAP/HTML/CSS and deploying a solution.

Essentially it boils down to:

- You have a separate process that occasionally queries the CUCM for new users/information (via AXL) and stores that in a database.
- You have web front end to parse and display the information from the database.
- And if you're really tempted, a basic IP Phone Services application.

I'd estimate it shouldn't take more than a week to get up and running.
