Cisco TelePresence Management Suite and Cisco TelePresence Management Suite XE (Cisco TMS/ Cisco TMS XE ) is a portal for administering and monitoring your videoconferencing network from a single, organized interface. Both of them offer centralized control for on-site and remote video systems, as well as deployment and scheduling for the whole video network.
NEWS: End-of-Sale and End-of-Life Announcement for the Cisco Telepresence Management Suite (TMS) and Exchange Integration (XE) Subscriptions (https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/conferencing/telepresence-management-suite-tms/tele-manage-suite-eol.html)
However, some organizations have technical environments where the Cisco TMS is not an alternative due to:
-
Different calendaring system
-
Transitions from on-prem to hybrid or cloud deployments
-
Multi-vendor devices
-
Multi-vendor meeting platforms
-
Need for more flexible deployment options
-
Need for facility and room support for non-video conferencing resources
-
Hybrid workspace
Synergy SKY CONNECT makes it easier to schedule, join, control, and report on video conferencing and meeting rooms and is a great alternative to TMS. CONNECT also offers SIP to Teams gateway connectivity, allowing any SIP video endpoint to join all Microsoft Teams meetings.
Importantly, Synergy SKY is also a Cisco Solutions Plus partner and Cisco Webex Compatible.
