45. • If you are not moving to Enterprise Voice soon
– A cloud-based Lync conferencing and IM solution has the
lowest TCO
• If you are moving to Enterprise Voice
– A cloud-based Lync solution that includes enterprise
voice shows a higher TCO than an on-premises solution
A Perspective for Cloud
46. • Getting a handle on operating costs is difficult
– Survey data from analyst firms show widely varying operating costs
• Analyst firm A: $ 214 per user per year for ongoing operational costs
• Analyst firm B: $ 714 to $1,912 per user for first year VoIP or IPT & UC
operational costs*
* Reports note that UC&C increases the scope of services provided, thus initial
integration costs
• Sanity check against required staff roles
– Operating staff or infrastructure outsourcing usually reflects:
• Ratio of staff to number of software server instances (whether on discrete or
virtual machines)
– The number of servers driven by workloads; Lync and IP-PBX server counts
are roughly equivalent
• Plus staff positions for network and QoS management and on-going system
architect/manager
– Smaller enterprises see higher cost per user, based on system configurations
Take Control of Operating Costs - 1
47. – Measure existing costs for a viable baseline
– Automate and instrument system management
– Use self-service and self-care options
– Track help desk usage; use UC tools
– Integrate simply with desktop/device support
– Converge with Desktop/Device Support organization
– Evolve to UC as a software app on IT networks & servers (or in
cloud)
Take Control of Operating Costs - 2
48. • Only native UC solution for Office™
• Business communications is a blend
– Text and documents are the leading modality (E-Mail,
Presence, IM,
social, shared workspaces, document sharing, pictures,
video streaming)
– Real-time voice and video serve particular purposes
– Varies by processes and by demographic groups
• UC usage profiles guide optimal mix
Lync: Designed for Office
Communications
49. • New UC value from optimizing processes*
– Change how business works
– Go faster; use less; be different
– Match trends for user expectations
• Lync leads in this category
– Growing base of apps packages and sample code
– Client and server APIs and SDKs
– Part of the suite, e.g. AD, IIS, et al.
– Large developer Partner community
Lync: A UC Applications Platform
* See Lync Business Cases: What’s Hot – What’s Not
50. • Lync TCO comparisons will vary widely by required workloads
• Lync TCO is competitive with leading IP PBX TCO
• Operational costs demand attention for best TCO
• Cloud offerings have an attractive TCO for some workloads
• Consider modular and hybrid approaches to TCO
