[cisco-voip] Cisco UCM with Skype for Business

[Matt Slaga (AM)]

Another option, although not perfect, is using a hardware device like a Kuandobox.

Works well in cube environments, but not so well in offices, or places where users use speakerphone often.

I echo Daniel’s comments below regarding the Lync/SfB integration, and recommend that you look at the reasons why you’re choosing to integrate SfB - particularly with voice/video or with SfB mobile clients.

In the last few months, Cisco acquired Acano, whose portfolio of products can assist with bridging SfB and CUCM when joining the two is required.

I strongly recommend reviewing the Cisco Live talk that was presented earlier this year in Melbourne (available at https://www.ciscolive.com/online/connect/sessionDetail.ww?SESSION_ID=89886) , which goes into integration options between Lync/SfB and Cisco, including limitations, and includes the Acano product set and how it can assist with the integration.

You have a few options but none will suit your needs:

- Partitioned Intra-Domain Federation from CUPS to Lync will provide IM/Presence
- Direct SIP Trunk to Lync Mediation Server will provide the ability to call Enterprise Voice enabled Lync clients (no video)
- VCS/Expressway to Lync Mediation Server with/without Media Bypass will provide voice and video to Enterprise Voice enabled Lync clients
- RCC (with Enterprise Voice disabled) will give you deskphone control of your Cisco phones from Lync client
- CUCILync (with Enterprise Voice disabled) will give you voice/video softphone as well as deskphone control

All of the above solutions cater different needs but you are limited with mobile support. You can run Jabber on mobile devices in Phone-only mode and then have separate Lync client for IM but that would be a bad user experience.

Unless there is a specific reason to use Lync/SFB, if you already have a CUCM you may want to go Jabber and choose one of the above options.

Hi Group,
anyone have experience integrating ?

The objective is to use Skype for business client for IM & voice/video call.

It seems like the legacy approach is to use CUCILYNC. However, that's for windows desktop. If we use Skype for mobile clients, there's no such plug in.

Is there a way to achieve presence synchronization between UCM and Skype presence service?
Assuming they are using the same URI ?

Able to leverage on UCM to receive and initial calls.
