So everything is basically "pre-installed". Aspiria offers two possibilities: either TiM is delivered as VMware image or preinstalled on a dedicated server (HP or IBM). It has its own linux kernel.<br>
Installation is as simple as it could be. Logon to the initial installation assistant FRED (First Really Easy Deployment assistant, I know it sounds funny but it really is easy) and sync TiM with your CallManager. Next step is to configure templates, which is the only time during which you really need somebody who knows the CallManager. After that everything is easy as pie ...<br>
<br>Yeah, I know ... their website does not give away much. Thought it to be awkward, too. However those Aspiria guys are really nice and helped us a lot. TiM handles CUCM 6, 7 and the new 8. <br><br>Pricing: As far as I have understood they focus on developing software. So they only directly sell to service providers and you need to buy it from them. Regarding Europe you can get team from T-Systems, Dimension Data, NextiraOne, Axians, Stemmer (a BT company) ... and any other IT consultancy. We tested the demo and then went to our service provider and explicitly requested TiM and the SP took care of it. The price is well below a CCVP expert ....<br>
<br>@ Paul: yes, TiM is all pre-configured ... nothing left to do any configs on my own.<br><br>So long, <br><font color="#888888"><br>SJ<br><br></font><div class="gmail_quote"><div>On Tue, May 4, 2010 at 3:16 PM, Wilusz, Mike <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mikewilusz@pricechopper.com" target="_blank">mikewilusz@pricechopper.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>Have not heard from this software or company before, found them by accident on Google. Ordered a demo, received it a couple of days later and started testing. After a while of testing I was amazed of how they have simplified managing the CUCM. Finally ordered TiM for our CallManager. To date TiM only handles Cisco's CallManager. Unity Connection is supposed to follow this year.<br>
<br>So far I am a happy and satisfied customer. Wondered if anybody else has gained experience with TiM and would like to share it.<br><br>Cheers, SJ<br><br>
