This book, Cisco Unity Connection, by Dave Schulz, hits the bull’s-eye of its intended topic: Cisco Unity Connection. This book zeroes in on the target with clarity and depth. Anyone that uses or considers using the Cisco Unity Connection product needs a copy of this book to read when planning a deployment, administering the features, or troubleshooting problems. Simply put, it’s the kind of desk reference you should have when working with Unity Connection.

Dave Schulz has a lot of experience with implementing networking solutions, managing groups that implement those same technologies, plus many years as an expert instructor of Cisco authorized Unified Communications courses. He brings this varied experience to bear in this new book that focuses on Cisco Unity Connection, from initial installation, integration with other products, administration, tools, and troubleshooting.

The Cisco Press imprint, under which this book is published, has a long and outstanding reputation as the best source for books and other content related to Cisco technologies and certifications. This and all others from Cisco Press have been developed through an agreement between Cisco and the publisher. As such, the Cisco Press series of books are the only Cisco-authorized books on Cisco technology.

Cisco Press publishes a variety of products across the spectrum of Cisco technologies, with much focus on the Unified Communications product line. The Cisco Press titles include topics such as Unified Communications Manager, Unified Communications Manager Express, Unity Express, QoS, Gateways and Gatekeepers, Telepresence, VoIP technologies and protocols, planning, troubleshooting, and other topics as well. Dave is a good friend, wonderful instructor of voice topics, and now the primary author on a book related to voice technology. I hope you find his book both useful and enjoyable, and I hope to see more such titles from Dave in the future.
