Do you have desk phones installed in your flexible office? Let each user benefit from its own phone extension number, contacts and settings via our new Active Login App.
In flex environments people don’t have a personal desk and desk phone. People cannot be reached via their own number, and cannot use their own contacts for making calls. This is solved by Cisco Extension Mobility. Using this feature, users can log into any desk phone and upload their personal settings. Unfortunately, you have to log in via a complicated procedure using a username and PIN code via the telephone keypad.

The relevant desk phone is then loaded with the appropriate user profile and settings. And similarly, a disconnect request from the app is converted into a logout request to the CUCM.
The Active Login Manager and the new Active Login App have the same goal: they offer secure and user-friendly Extension Mobility without the hindering login procedure. The difference is in how they offer this:
