About Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance and Analytics
Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance provides management for Cisco voice and video collaboration systems through a single, consolidated view. This includes continuous, real-time monitoring and advanced troubleshooting tools for Cisco Collaboration applications and endpoints, such as Cisco Unified CM, Cisco VCS, Cisco Contact Center, Cisco TelePresence and so on.
As an add-on to the Assurance module, Cisco Prime Collaboration Contact Center Assurance offers monitoring and diagnostics for the Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise deployment.
The Analytics provides historical reporting of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and helps to analyze trends for capacity planning, resource optimization, and quality of service. It also helps to track collaboration technology adoption rates in the network and provides metrics to help analyze how users are actually using the collaboration endpoints daily.
See Cisco Prime Collaboration 11.x Data Sheet and Cisco Prime Collaboration Ordering Guide for further details.
