Chapter 1 helps you ensure that all aspects of the IP Telephony solution work together seamlessly to meet business objectives and fulfill user expectations.
You'll notice a strong focus on PBX migration in this chapter because this type of installation is becoming the most prevalent. However, successful implementations of any telephony solution depend on careful planning. Most steps covered in this chapter apply equally well to green field deployments (new installations with no prior IP telephony) because most users have experienced phone systems before and have a standard set of expectations. A good plan ensures a smooth, methodical, documented deployment of the complete Cisco CallManager solution.
