Administering Cisco Unified Messaging

Course details

The aim of the Administering Cisco Unified Messaging (AUM) course is to produce competent administrators of the Cisco Unity product. By the end of this course, learners will be able to perform system setup and customization; add, delete, and modify subscribers; and monitor and maintain the Cisco Unity system. It is the initial course in a two-course series; the other is Implementing Cisco Unified Messaging (IUM).
