Seven questions we ask to understand UC requirements
1. Do you have existing video endpoints such as Cisco or Polycom?
2. Do you have Lync 2010 or 2013 deployed?
3. Do you have existing audio, video and web conferencing providers?
4. Do you have a mobile workforce?
5. Do you have a distributed workforce?
6. Do your employees need to work closely with people outside of the organization?
7. Do you want your employees to have a “self-service” collaboration solution?
We have integrated Unified Communications solutions that can address all of these requirements
