Michael,<br><br>I did an install of CM7 last week.<br><br>It is very close to 6 however it does add some really important features. <br><br>Now on the route patterns you can select what kind of ISDN type/plan to send the call as instead of doing in H323 translations. <br>

Thanks for the input. Upgrading beyond 7 is not an issue for us due to<br>
financial reasons. We have the 6.1 and 7 software now; we are just<br>
waiting on some new hardware and the time to put it all together. I was<br>
really hoping that someone else would have already installed 7, but I<br>
guess it is still fairly new.<br>

I may have mentioned it on the list a while back. I came to this<br>
conclusion for the simple fact that the release date of v7 was only 6 to<br>
8 months after the release of v6 or something like that. We were told<br>
that originally this would be 12 months and then that moved to 18<br>
months. How could they have done it in 8?<br>
<br>
So, honestly, I think it's somewhere in the middle. ;)<br>

Subject: [cisco-voip] CUCM 7<br>
<br>
I read somewhere (maybe here) that CUCM 7 is pretty much the same as<br>
6.1, but with a name change to be more consistent with the other<br>
products. Does anyone know if this is true? The reason I am asking<br>
is<br>
because we are going to upgrade end of first quarter next year, and I<br>
am<br>
trying to decide if we will go with 6.1 or 7. If I go with 7 I won't<br>
have to worry about a major upgrade for another 3 to 5 years, only<br>
minor<br>
upgrades. Has anyone had any direct experience with 7? Please share<br>
any useful information you may have. Thanks.<br>
