Product Overview

Cisco ^® Small Business Office Manager is a no-cost desktop application, designed for a small business office administrator or IT person that provides the ability to independently perform routine operational tasks for the Cisco Smart Business Communications System. A Cisco partner configures the system, using the Cisco Configuration Assistant, then customizes the Cisco Office Manager application and leaves it behind, enabling the site administrator to modify the system's voice and user settings, easily see video streams from IP cameras, and view network status. Cisco partners can work with their customers to determine what features the site administrator will be able to control.
