VQ’s Monthly News
November 2025

VQ Communications: November updates, insights & what’s next for Cisco TMS. 2026 is right around the corner, and the VQ Team are ramping up for the final year of Cisco TMS before it reaches end-of-life.

Read on for our TMS update, the latest content and travel plans for December. 

What’s new at VQ?

Still using Cisco TMS? Here’s what you need to know

Cisco TelePresence Management Suite (TMS) is approaching end-of-life, and that means organisations relying on it need to plan their next move. 

To help teams navigate the change, we’ve published a new blog breaking down:

• What TMS going end-of-life really means
• The risks of delaying migration
• Why VQ’s Device Management & Automation (DMA) is the natural successor

If you’re planning your transition from TMS, this guide walks you through the practical steps organisations need to take now.

Upcoming webinar:
Debunking the myth that self-hosted conferencing is dying

There’s a persistent misconception in the collaboration space: that self-hosted conferencing is fading away.

In our latest video, we take a closer look at why that isn’t true and why self-hosted platforms continue to play a critical role for highly secure organisations.

Watch as we unpack::

• Why cloud-only isn’t always the answer
• The continued rise of sovereign collaboration
• How organisations are modernising self-hosted workloads with VQ Conference Manager

On the road: December events

The team had a fantastic time at WebexOne Germany, WebexOne Poland and WebexOne Cairo this month, meeting partners, customers and industry peers while sharing product updates and insights from our 2026 roadmap – catch up on our recent webinar here.

We’re not stopping there. In December, you’ll find the VQ team at:

• WebexOne France – 4th December
• WebexOne Saudi Arabia – 9th–10th December

If you’re attending either event, we’d love to connect and discuss DMA, our approach to sovereign collaboration, and what’s coming next for VQ Conference Manager..

Feature spotlight: Sovereign conferencing

As organisations navigate increasing regulatory pressure and data security requirements, sovereign conferencing continues to be a top priority.

VQ’s sovereign conferencing solutions enable:

Integration with Cisco CMS, Microsoft Teams Rooms and wider collaboration ecosystems

• Complete control over data and call flows
• Deployment in secure, self-hosted or national cloud environments
• Support for high-security verticals including government, defence and finance

Until next time…

Thanks for staying connected with VQ. We’ll be back next month with more insights and resources to help you deliver secure collaboration on your terms.
