Fair enough then. I can’t imagine the CTI libraries are going to be upgraded anytime soon.
It’s interesting you mention the UCM endpoint and not Connection, since Connection is the authoritative source for MWI. Would a hybrid option for Connection be the right way to go?

So I guess that further complicates feature alignment for a hybrid system.

Here’s my counter argument. Cisco Spark _has_ MWI. But for the Spark cloud calling service. What it doesn’t have is hybrid MWI. So the feature exists to light a lamp per se and it’s being done by one system currently. Technical restrictions aside, and I’m sure there are plenty, they’ve decided not to implement hybrid MWI. --- Lelio Fulgenzi, B.A. | Senior Analyst Computing and Communications Services | University of Guelph Room 037 Animal Science & Nutrition Bldg | 50 Stone Rd E | Guelph, ON | N1G 2W1 519-824-4120 Ext. 56354 | le...@uoguelph.ca<mailto:le...@uoguelph.ca> www.uoguelph.ca/ccs<http://www.uoguelph.ca/ccs> | @UofGCCS on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook <image001.png> From: Stephen Welsh [mailto:stephen.we...@unifiedfx.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 13, 2018 3:05 PM To: Lelio Fulgenzi <le...@uoguelph.ca<mailto:le...@uoguelph.ca>> Cc: Brian Meade <bmead...@vt.edu<mailto:bmead...@vt.edu>>; cisco-voip voyp list <cisco-voip@puck.nether.net<mailto:cisco-voip@puck.nether.net>> Subject: Re: [cisco-voip] Spark Hybrid and MWI/Voicemail My 2 cents… From an Cisco Spark API perspective it’s a meeting room system as that is the model the User Experience is aligned for, so a long way to go for more traditional telephony features that are out of context for a meeting i.e. MWI. Cisco Spark reminds me of the Windows 8 fiasco of making a desktop OS fit a tablet interface at the expense of normal desktop interactions, hence the swing back to normal desktop with Windows 10 etc. For me Cisco Spark is a "soft meeting" client that needs be extended to sensibly incorporate more traditional "soft phone" functionality/interactions. That’s not to say Cisco Spark is not great at what it does, just that there needs to be more of a choice/overlap between Spark/Jabber, until then Spark will be more of a niche solution. Also, it would appear all the marketing push for Cisco Spark has given Jabber a boost, and given Cisco have finally committed to port all relevant IP Communicator functionality to Jabber so IPC can be EOS that will keep Jabber at the primary soft phone solution for most larger organisations until Cisco can find a way forward with a unified soft phone solution. Anyway, just my personal opinion, I’m sure others with disagree ;) Kind Regards Stephen Welsh CTO UnifiedFX On 13 Feb 2018, at 17:20, Lelio Fulgenzi <le...@uoguelph.ca<mailto:le...@uoguelph.ca>> wrote: I could almost get away with “if you need uccx, use jabber; else, use spark” But to say, “if you need MWI use jabber; else, use spark” – ugh.
