 1 Quick Admin overview
Large customers wish to delegate the telephony administration of their different sites to
different local administrators for a country, site or department. At the same time, in order to
reduce training costs, the companies want an easy to use administration tool that avoids
configuration errors and a need for a specific training.

Simple configuration changes may then be delegated to a local agent or to the helpdesk.

Cisco CallManager Multi Level Administration can restrict access to different administration
functions however there is no way to limit access to a specific site or zone. Cisco
CallManager provides a large number of APIs (AXL SOAP) that enable third party companies
like telisca to develop customer required solution as QuickAdmin.
