Is there a employee timeclock add-on for the UC500 & UCC server

[Michael Dougherty]

Greetings Everyone,

I have a client with about 50+ users who have a UC500 and UCC server.  Most of the users are in the office but some are mobile and out of the USA at times.  They want a timeclock system for employee productivity tracing.  I am hoping that there is either a built in or add-on component that will acomplish this goal.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Cheers

Cisco TimeCardView Features and Benefits

The Cisco TimeCardView application leverages the Cisco Unity Express VoiceView Express XML interface for Cisco IP phones to provide a User Interface (UI) for employees and supervisors to perform time card entries/transactions on the IP phone. TimeCardView also provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI) interface for supervisors and payroll specialists to validate the time card data, export it to a file or to a compatible payroll application such as QuickBooks and to generate reports.

TimeCardView integrates voice and time card applications onto a single Unified Communications platform. A maximum of eight (8) Unified Communicaitons 500 Series phones can use the TimeCardView application.

Thank you for the information it did answer part of my question.  But.....the client has 50+ employee's and accourding to the information sited above this only supports 8 IP phones.  Is that 8 phones total or is that 8 phones (users) attempting to use the time clock at once?  If I can only have 8 people tring to clock in or out at a time thats not a big deal.  Or can I purchase additional user licenses for the timeclock viewer?

Cheers,

Mike
