The Cisco Understanding and Configuring MEF Certified Services on the Cisco ASR 9000 Version 1 instructor-led course provides you with the information to successfully design, configure, and deploy the industry-standard Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) technologies in a Cisco IOS XR Software environment. This course covers over 200 MEF Carrier Ethernet Certification Professional (CECP) knowledge objectives, combined with exclusive access to deploy and implement MEF solutions such as Ethernet-Line (E-Line) and Ethernet-LAN (E-LAN) on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers platform for Cisco IOS XR Software.

Through a combination of lecture and hands-on labs, you gain an understanding of all major aspects of the platform; Layer 2 MEF services; Layer 2 MEF operations, administration, and management (OAM); and quality of service (QoS) features.

The Cisco IPCC Enterprise PPDIOO workshop is a five-day course for systems engineers, consultants, and partners who deploy Cisco IP Contact Center (IPCC) solutions. The course is designed to emulate IPCC deployments in a classroom environment. Students will use a customer business case and, as part of a workgroup, develop and document an IPCC solution to meet the needs of that business case.

Students will develop a solution based on the Cisco Systems PPDIOO project methodology: prepare, plan, design, implement, operate, and optimize (PPDIOO). The course provides students with hands-on experience and knowledge of those tasks typically performed during an IPCC deployment. This includes customer needs analysis, deployment planning, configuration and staging, scripting, customer acceptance, and troubleshooting.

The course provides extensive guidance in the use of the Cisco Steps to Success Website to introduce the PPDIOO process, search for useful documentation, and utilize online tools to facilitate best practices system deployments.

The Cisco Systems Customizing ICM/IPCC Reports workshop is designed to provide students with a thorough understanding of the ICM reporting environment and the technical aspects of implementing custom reports in WebView. Although the workshop focuses on the IPCC implementation, participants familiar with traditional ICM installations can also benefit from the topics covered. In order to lay the groundwork necessary for the advanced reporting concepts, the course provides a detailed examination of how the components of the ICM work together to generate the reporting data.

Students will participate in hands-on exercises to build knowledge ranging from a basic understanding of the reporting tools to custom report design, construction, and implementation. After completing this course, the participants will have a solid foundation in the ICM reporting environment. They will be able to identify when customization is required and will have the skills necessary to build or modify WebView reporting templates from standard ICM summary tables.

Call-center customers use Cisco IP Contact Center Enterprise / Intelligent Contact Management (IPCC/ICM) to efficiently route call-center contacts to the agent with the most appropriate skill set to assist the customer. Cisco ICM scripting provides the tools needed to translate an organization¿s business rules for customer contacts into call-routing logic.

In the Cisco IPCC Enterprise Advanced Scripting course, students convert business requirements into call-flow design and then into scripts that provide the routing information to routing clients. The process includes configuring, scripting, and testing complex call flows. Example scripts are designed to demonstrate the provision of specific interactive voice response (IVR) treatment, the collection of call processing variables used in database lookups for call routing, and the facilitation of standard reporting. Other topics include collecting and setting the variables to provide CTI screenpops.

Cisco Unified Provisioning Manager is a reliable and scalable Web-based provisioning solution to manage a company’s critical next-generation communications services. The Cisco Unified Provisioning Manager (CUPM) v1 course teaches students how to effectively use the Cisco Unified Provisioning Manager application. The focus of this course is to have students use this product to learn how to provision Cisco Unified Communications initial deployments as well as to provide ongoing operational provisioning and activation services for individual subscriber changes.

The student will use the Cisco Unified Provisioning Manager application to mangage subscribers, order products and services for subscribers, provision the Cisco Unified Communications infrastructure, track phone and directory numbers in an inventory, implement business abstractions for workflow processes that may require approving orders for delegation, and configure provisioning attributes that are applied to the services on an order suring activation. The students will reinforce what is discussed in the lecture using hands-on lab exercises.
