Two questions about TMS

[Clifford McGlamry]

1.  When deploying TMS for a very small infrastructure (i.e. 16 video endpoints), do you need anything more than just TMS?  I'm unclear as to exactly what TMSPE is (is it an add on, or just a larger version of TMS?).  

2. If an organization uses Google Mail but uses Outlook on the desktops, can they use TMSXE?  Or does that require Exchange? (I think it does, but I was asked to confirm).

TIA,

Cliff

Have you reviewed the datasheet of TMS, TMSPE and TMSXE? 

Which of those you need, depends on what you want to achieve.

TMS is the foundation, anything else is an add-on.

Hi Jamie!  Good to chat with you again. 

I looked at them, and was confused (thus the question).

The information I saw said Exchange or O365, but I wasn't sure whether or not the outlook plugin could/work without Exchange.  Based on your response, I'm thinking that my initial belief (that it can't) is correct. 

Can you confirm?

Review page 13 for Exchange requirements.
