The provisioning improvement in 10.0 is a single-cluster version of 
Cisco Prime Collaboration Provisioning.

We're still in the roll-out stages of the stand-alone product, and are 
looking at it more for allowing remote IT people to be able to provision 
and do MACD work on phones without having to have CUCM/UConn expertise.  
Not sure what features are missing between the full-blown product and 
the integrated one in 10.0 however.  One of the weekly Cisco Prime 
Demo's covered it a few weeks ago. http://bit.ly/PrimeDemo  probably 
would be a good place to attend and ask questions about it.
