Cisco TMS end-of-life replacement
VQ Conference Manager replaces and modernizes the core scheduling, OBTP, and device-management functionality you know from TMS.
And it does a lot more besides, enabling you to run a modern, self-hosted conferencing service with Cisco equipment.
Rest easy: You’ll be in good company
VQ Conference Manager has been used by high-security organizations to manage large-scale, mission-critical, self-hosted conferencing for more than 15 years.

On the device-management front, our software scales to support tens of thousands of Cisco video devices across multiple deployments.

How VQ Conference Manager replaces and enhances key TMS capabilities
Operator-led scheduling
Operators get the tools they need to schedule and run enterprise-scale managed conferencing. This includes our redesigned operator interface that supports sophisticated, scenario-based meetings.
Outlook integration
Users can schedule calls via VQ Conference Manager’s Outlook plug-in or add-in.
Having a plug-in is important for self-hosted or air-gapped systems, because it supports sophisticated booking operations without Exchange or Microsoft 365 integration.

Deploy one-tap ‘Join’ buttons to Cisco video devices that can’t be registered to cloud services.
OBTP with VQ Conference Manager supports meetings on Cisco Meeting Server, Webex, and Microsoft Teams CVI.
