#networkers2010 – BRKUCC-2014 CME and CUE – or the Jerry de Boer show

If you have never seen Jerry present, then he is worth the price of admission alone. First an admission, CME/CUE is not a core product for me, being well versed the big brothers, so this was an interesting session for me to see what is used outside of my regular patch.

This session focused on new features in both products and was rammed full of content, the slide deck alone will take some reading when I download it later. Jerry didn’t dwell on every page of every slide and kept the topics pacey. It was interesting to see that the IOS-based CME/CUE feature set has places where it is ahead or CUCM and others where it is behind.

Jerry’s anecdotes made the session enjoyable, providing insights into everything from his wife’s shopping habits, to his 8 year-old daughter’s mastery of extension mobility!

I’ll have to review the slide deck again to get a better appreciation of the products, but as an introduction to its capabilities, is was a real eye-opener. As Jerry said, most of the features are already there – its just knowing that you can use them, and they are free within the product!
