Authorized Self-Study Guide Implementing Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Part 2 (CIPT2) Authorized Self-Study Guide Implementing Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Part 2 (CIPT2) IntroductionProfessional certifications have been an important part of the computing industry for many years and will continue to become more important. Many reasons exist for these certifications, but the most popularly cited reason is that of credibility. All other considerations held equal, a certified employee/consultant/job candidate is considered more valuable than one who is not. Goals and MethodsThe most important goal of this book is to provide you with knowledge and skills in Unified Communications, deploying the Cisco Unified Communications Manager product. Another goal of this book is to help you with the Cisco IP Telephony (CIPT) Part 2 exam, which is part of the Cisco Certified Voice Professional (CCVP) certification. The methods used in this book are designed to be helpful in both your job and the CCVP Cisco IP Telephony exam. This book provides questions at the end of each chapter to reinforce the chapter content. Additional test preparation software from companies such as http://www.selftestsoftware.com will give you additional test preparation questions to arm you for exam success.The organization of this book will help you discover the exam topics that you need to review in more depth, help you fully understand and remember those details, and help you test the knowledge you have retained on those topics. This book does not try to help you pass by memorization, but helps you truly learn and understand the topics. The Cisco IP Telephony Part 2 exam is one of the foundation topics in the CCVP certification. The knowledge contained in this book is vitally important for you to consider yourself a truly skilled Unified Communications (UC) engineer. The book aims to help you pass the Cisco IP Telephony exam by using the following methods:Helping you discover which test topics you have not masteredProviding explanations and information to fill in your knowledge gapsProviding practice exercises on the topics and the testing process via test questions at the end of each chapter Who Should Read This Book?This book is designed to be both a general Cisco Unified Communications Manager book and a certification preparation book. This book is intended to provide you with the knowledge required to pass the CCVP Cisco IP Telephony exam for CIPT Part 2.Why should you want to pass the CCVP Cisco IP Telephony exam? The second CIPT test is one of the milestones toward getting the CCVP certification. The CCVP could mean a raise, promotion, new job, challenge, success, or recognition, but ultimately you determine what it means to you. Certifications demonstrate that you are serious about continuing the learning process and professional development. In technology, it is impossible to stay at the same level when the technology all around you is advancing. Engineers must continually retrain themselves, or they find themselves with out-of-date commodity-based skill sets. Strategies for Exam PreparationThe strategy you use for exam preparation might be different than strategies used by others. It will be based on skills, knowledge, experience, and finding the recipe that works best for you. If you have attended the CIPT course, you might take a different approach than someone who learned Cisco Unified Communications Manager on the job. Regardless of the strategy you use or your background, this book is designed to help you get to the point where you can pass the exam. Cisco exams are quite thorough, so don't skip any chapters.
