System Overview
If you use Business Communications Manager Unified Manager, you find that performing
common BCM50 programming tasks is simpler, faster, and more information-rich with Element
Manager, which requires minimal clicking through the interface to get to tasks. You can get to any
programming screen in three or fewer mouse-clicks.
Programming data is enhanced in the Element Manager to quickly show all the associations
between data in the form of tables. This eliminates looking in multiple places to get a system view
of the programming.

Element Manager runs on a PC, and the information required to draw the screens is contained
locally within the client application. The only data transferred between Element Manager and the
BCM50 are queries and actual data. Element Manager has familiar Microsoft Office-like
capabilities, such as the ability to sort information.
All the traditional BCM administration tools including managing backups and software updates,
are integrated into Element Manager.
Element Manager has an element navigation panel for organizing a network of elements. You can
manage multiple elements at the same time. After you connect to an element, you can perform
configuration and administration tasks.
