What does Zoom/ Cisco Unified Communication Management (CUCM) integration actually do?

[SeanMcC]

We're interested in integrating incoming Zoom calls into our CUCM workflow for our call center.

I see some Zoom/CUCM integration steps (https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115005484406-Setting-Up-Cisco-Unified-Communications-Manag...), but there isn't an explanation about what the outcome or workflow of such integration is. 

Does anyone know, or can you point to a resource?

Thanks,

Sean

Sean,

Think of this as a BYOP (Bring your own PBX) where you create a SIP trunk between Zoom and your on-prem CUCM solution.  It will allow you to route calls "on net" between the two environments and eventually move everything to a single platform.

Sean,

That document was written to describe what was needed for Cisco video endpoints registered to Communications Manager to connect to Zoom via a Cisco Expressway. It was for a rather specific use case. 
If you're looking to add Zoom Phone calls into your contact center, then as @townsendwc mentioned, a BYOP approach will allow you to create a dial-plan to route calls

Good catch @RobF.  I missed the SIP trunk to VCS in that link!

thanks, @RobF and @townsendwc  - Rob - I think you're talking about what we're looking for. Do you, by chance, ever jump on a call with a company to give some insights? Do you have a consulting fee?

Thanks!
