Authorized Unified MeetingPlace Program

The growing demand for solutions that facilitate collaboration presents a significant business opportunity for partners selling Cisco Unified Communications solutions. To help you address this opportunity, the Cisco Authorized Unified MeetingPlace Program is available as an optional program (not a part of Advance Unified Communications Specialization). With the Authorized Unified MeetingPlace Program, Advanced Unified Communications partners who choose to participate can provide innovative collaboration solutions for their customers to help them increase profitability.

The Cisco Rich Media Communications Authorized Technology Provider (RMC ATP) program retired as of December 31, 2008. The retirement of the Rich Media Communications Authorized Technology Provider (ATP) program affects the Master Unified Communications Specialization prerequisites.
