5 reasons to migrate from Cisco TMS to VQ DMA
Cisco TMS’s end-of-life is approaching, and Cisco’s recommended replacement, VQ DMA, is ready to fill the gap.
Our latest guide covers the key reasons to move your conferencing management over to VQ DMA, including:
- TMS is End-of-Sale
- DMA fills the gaps in TMS’ old architecture
- It eliminates Windows server dependency
- Improves integration with Microsoft Exchange
- TMS doesn’t provide support for the latest features in CMS & Devices
Please get in touch with support@vqcomms.com to start your migration.
