Enterprises Deploying Microsoft Unified Communications

Are you a global enterprise deploying Microsoft Unified Communications (Exchange, Lync Server, Voice and Video) across your enterprise network? Have you analyzed the business case justification for Lync Voice and Conferencing relative to your existing IP-PBX investments? Do you need an architecture and plan for your global Voice/Conferencing rollout that factors in user, technology, operational, and telecom carrier readiness? Do you have an operational plan for supporting Lync Voice on a large scale? Have you envisioned an end-state in which Lync can help bring transformational efficiencies to your core business processes? Are you ready?

• Business Case
  Have you evaluated the business case for Lync Voice against your existing PBX, or the business case for Lync Conferencing? Do you have a comprehensive overview of Microsoft Unified Communications capabilities in the context of your own unique business needs and business vision? Unify² can help you understand the business value Microsoft Unified Communications can bring into your environment and can help you quantify the TCO and ROI for your Lync investments.
  
  
• Architecture and Planning
  Do you have a comprehensive architecture for your enterprise rollout of Lync & Voice? Have you factored in network bandwidth implications, Edge deployment, High Availability, PBX connection points, Gateways, and SIP Trunking with carriers? Do you need an architecture that scales to your global enterprise, across all your branch offices? Do you need an implementation plan for successful Voice and Video rollout at scale, factoring in user readiness, business unit readiness, and operational readiness? Unify²'s team can help you put together your comprehensive architecture and plan, and can address technical and execution concerns every step of the way.
  
  
• Cisco and OCS Interoperability
  Do you have an existing deployed base of Cisco Unified Communications Manager? Are you contemplating integrating Lync Server with your deployment? Have you compared the capability sets vs. your business needs? Do you intend to carry over Cisco operational processes into your Lync Voice environment? Unify²'s experience with mixed Cisco/Lync deployments and our Cisco/Lync interoperability lab can help you test-drive interoperability scenarios and make the right strategic choices for your environment.
  
  
• Deployment & Operations
  Do you need assistance deploying Lync Server & Voice? Do you have an operational plan to ensure Voice Quality? Do you have a comprehensive plan for your operations including E911 and Location Services, and helpdesk/support teams for Voice? Do you require Lync extensions to address centralized policy, reporting, or monitoring needs that are not addressed with out-of-the-box features or "standard supported" Lync configurations? Unify²'s UC deployment, manageability, and operational expertise, as well as Lync customization capabilities, can help you successfully deploy UC at global scale and integrate it into your operational environment.
