A system provides for the choice of participants of the meeting the address directory in which:
- employees with their personal video terminals and Cisco Jabber, stationary and mobile phones,
- the meeting rooms equipped with group VIDEOCONFERENCING terminals
- any external contacts for participation in video conferences.
All invited participants will receive the notification with the instruction for accession to video conference.
Depending on regulations, the planned VIDEOCONFERENCING meeting can require confirmation of the administrator, otherwise it will not take place.
The planned meeting automatically is created on the Cisco MCU VIDEOCONFERENCING server, and in due time a system automatically connects personal and group video terminals to a conference.

The functionality of selection of time of a meeting and meeting rooms taking into account employee occupation, rooms and VIDEOCONFERENCING resources is added to the interface of planning.

Besides, there were abilities to manage availability of VIDEOCONFERENCING resources to different user groups and the reports generation module about the carried-out video conferences.
