CUCM’s complex user interface. Take a look at the video tutorials. I know
there is not much on the website (as stated by Mike before) but after thorough
testing we decided to buy TiM. We even let our employees self-administer their
speed-dials, my interns do password resets etc. I have only granted them the
rights to do only the “helpdesk” stuff. Hence they can’t do
much havoc. So now I can take care of the more important issues and got rid of
the time consuming tasks I had been really fed up with.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

TiM is an appliance. 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>

I may fire out a demo request as well. What's the install like?
Windows application? The only reservation I have is there's not a
whole lot of detail on the website. CUCM compatibility?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

was wondering if anybody else has already tested the provisioning software
TiM (Telephone Interface Communications Manager) ???<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>
