Mividas Rooms, the perfect replacement for Cisco TMS
Since its initial launch in early 2019, Mividas Rooms has steadily evolved as an ideal alternative to Cisco TMS, where we prioritized retaining the familiar functionality that users have come to expect from Cisco TMS, while also providing a set of new tools to enhance the provisioning of room systems.
Mividas Rooms has received outstanding feedback from both architects and technical administrators that has been crucial in improving the product’s functionality, as well as providing valuable insights on unexplored avenues for simplifying and refining customers’ video conferencing system management
Christian Wåhlin, CEO
Soon the release version 4 of Mividas Rooms will be available with an array of features that are set to redefine your user experience.
Hybrid support
One of the latest additions to Mividas Rooms is the ability to manage both on-premise Webex Room systems and Webex-registered devices from one single user interface for all devices. With Mividas Rooms synchronization option you can be sure the rooms system list is always up to date, whether you have added a system to the Cisco Webex control hub, or an on-premise system directly to Mividas Rooms.
Not only does Mividas Rooms allow the import of Webex-registered devices, Mividas Rooms also enables customers with existing systems to quickly and easily register the systems directly to Webex.
