<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Personally, I am definitely seeing video as a component a lot more. In the last year I’ve had to implement a large VTC pilot with all the requisite infrastructure
(TMS, Telepresence Server, Conductor, etc.), Collaboration Meeting rooms, etc. I view it all as just another part of convergence and an integral part of both “cisco-voip” and the Cisco Collaboration platform. As you said, the architecture is moving to 100%
CUCM call control. We have gone from bespoke TDM solutions and working a punch down tool to needing to be network/systems/application/voice engineers. At the end of the day video is just another application on the network.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">For a lot of customers video is still just kind of a gimmick and it is not ubiquitous enough to drive adoption widely. I think that as those of us in pre-sales
become better at tying the video use case to a holistic collaboration solution then adoption will ramp up and we will start to find some pull through for customers that are on the ledge.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">As for your follow-up question about resources, I think that the Cisco Preferred Architecture guides are pretty good. The latest one for video is here -

http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/solutions/PA/midmarket/11x/video11x.pdf</a>. Vidoe is also covered as a component of the mid-market and enterprise collaboration architectures too. You can find them, as well as the Cisco Validated Design docs here -

<p class="MsoNormal">Does this list, being labeled "VoIP" and not "Voice", include Video in the "V", or is the "V" for Voice only? A bit of tongue-in-cheek there, but I think you know what I mean.<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">With every day that passes, I feel like, as a Voice Engineer, I am being asked to know and implement Video more and more.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">From CUCM taking on more of the video call control (just about 100% now, no?), to video being a part of the CCIE Collab (to some degree, don't flame me for mentioning it), the line between voice and video engineering roles is blurring.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I know there has been quite a bit of Expressway talk on here this year, but I don't think I've explicitly read a thread which was 100% focused on video technology. What's the direction you see these two technologies heading, and should/could
this list serve as both a Voice and Video discussion group?<o:p></o:p></p>
