Cisco Unified Communications Manager (formerly CallManager) helps businesses of all sizes connect and collaborate with teams across departments via internal protocol (IP) telephony, voice & video calling, messaging, and more. The platform includes an activation code onboarding functionality, which enables managers to create phone records without a phone’s MAC address.

The solution offers a host of features such as call routing and recording, device management, presence information, mobile access, call and session management, high definition (HD) video, and more. Additionally, callers can make anonymous calls using custom presentation names or numbers.
