Extensive Q&A opportunities are built into the program. Registration for Telecom Reseller Week at ITEXPO is free. Many enterprises have or are looking to implement Microsoft Lync. Or the enterprise may be upgrading from Office Communications Server (OCS) to Lync. No matter the path taken, Lync has its promoters and detractors who blog on the ease and difficulties of implementing a Lync system, software and services. Connecting Microsoft's Lync to SIP trunks and SIP qualified devices is a matter of interoperability. Both Microsoft and the SIP vendors/providers need to participate in a thorough structured test to validate their interoperability. Register Today! Additional Sessions Include: Successful SIP Trunking If there is any theme in IT today, it is a flat or reduced the IT budget. One budget candidate is using SIP trunking and retiring the old T1 and PRI carrier connections. SIP trunking can in most cases produce enough savings to warrant the change. The proliferation of SIP trunking makes the bandwidth calculations for those SIP trunks an issue that the IT organization must resolve. Too much capacity and money is wasted. Too little capacity and calls will be blocked, callers will abandon the call, the enterprise agents will be less productive, and the enterprise's reputation for service may be harmed. Moving Beyond UC Project Barriers You are ready to consider Unified Communications. Will it be plug-and-play or will there be barriers to be surmounted before a successful implementation can occur? Many technologists focus on the products and services, but this does not get at the heart of UC. UC is a change in the way business is done. It is not technology delivered to the user with the user imagining how to be productive with UC. Many other non-technical factors must be dealt with before UC will deliver its promise. Is the Cloud Right for You? You cannot ignore the possibility of cloud implementation for the enterprise. There are three choices, Infrastructure (IaaS), Platform (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). Which is best? What about the concept of a hybrid cloud? There are concerns about cloud implementation, security, availability, control, and changing IT staffs. The pricing structure for cloud services looks attractive but is an on premises system actually cheaper over the long term? These and other issues are discussed in this presentation.
