- A CTI interface to CUCM is available.
- A linkage of the older Microsoft Office Communicator (MOC) and the current Microsoft Skype for Business client and CUCM endpoints for a specific user is realized, which supports monitoring of CUCM endpoint activity via Microsoft clients. Support for call establishment and call modification for CUCM endpoints via Microsoft clients is also included.
- The functionality provides click to dial, phone hook status reporting, and general phone control directly from the Microsoft client.
