Cisco Unified Provisioning Manager

Cisco Unified Provisioning Manager (Cisco UPM or sometimes referred to as CUPM) is the provisioning tool developed by Cisco Systems for its Unified Communications Solution products. Examples of these products would be Cisco Unified Communications Manager or Cisco Unity. Cisco UPM is the provisioning component of the Cisco Unified Communications Management Suite (UCMS) UCMS.
Though provisioning of Cisco Unified Communications Suite applications can be done through individual web interfaces, Cisco UPM can be used to provision many applications and many revisions at one time through a single web interface. Cisco UPM can be used for Day 1 (infrastructure configuration or site rollouts) as well as Day 2 (Subscriber moves, adds and changes (MACs) provisioning tasks.
Cisco UPM has a northbound API which can be controlled by external applications to perform the tasks normally done through the UPM user interface. Programmers that are familiar with Cisco's AXL API interface find the Cisco UPM API interface similar but much easier to program to. Cisco's UPM leverages the built in provisioning automation and policies to reduce programming and provide a consistent programming interface in spite of interface changes of the Cisco applications that UPM provisions.
