<div class="gmail_quote"><div>I respectfully disagree.. <br><br>When Cisco started out in this arena with the call manager product it was lacking many features that traditional PBX's had for years, it still is but getting much better because they're constantly adding features. They can't just throw up their collective hands and say a particular feature isn't valid, go buy another product. Now, there might be a business case or technical reason why or why not to include something, but thats a different story. <br>
<br>I have a ton (literally) of traditional PBX and hybrid systems on campus right now that <br>A) Have zone paging<br>B) Can configure key system buttons<br><br>I don't expect CCM to do everything, but putting in feature requests etc certainly doesn't hurt.<br>

<div>UCCM is not a key system so don't complain about it not working like one. If you need a key system put in express. This product needs to scale to thousands and thousands of phones. Something a key system can not do.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>There are several products to accomplish paging. Again it is a PBX system that must scale to a very high number of devices. You know it does not do paging when you install it so if your customer needs that either put in the correct system like express or if they want paging purchase the correct third party product.</div>
