5 So What s Holding Us Back? The CFO wants to keep the old phones to save money. The Sales VP wants his group (world-wide) to stay on PBX telephony until the UC system is tried and tested. The CIO wants to roll out UC on a schedule of 1,000 users per month to stay within his financial and staffing budgets. The employees give up on using communications that aren t intuitive and go back to old ways of work.

6 UC Needs To Solve Pains IT Pains Business Pains IT needs to: Simplify and reduce the cost of communications Maintain compliance and prevent information leakage Support many users with diverse needs Extend existing investments The business needs to: Manage communications overload Communicate with globally distributed customers and partners Maximize productivity and innovation Attract and retain talent

7 UC Strategy Pillars... Drive adoption through ease of use Instant Messaging and Presence Consistent experience across applications Consistent experience across devices Reduce costs and drive business outcomes Truly converged user experience Converged voice functionality Audio, Video, and Web Conferencing Simplify deployment and migration through interoperability Enterprise Voice and Telephony Interoperable and extensible platform Choice through interoperability IT resources maximized with the cloud

30 Next Steps on UC Journey 1. Define a business case Define your business goals and objectives create a detailed project plan 2. Check infrastructure readiness UC is a new service, make sure your infrastructure can support it through Network assessments / UC assessments hardware physical or virtual 3. Get user buy-in User training is key. Generate excitement and get them trained well ahead of the actual deployment 4. Stage a phased deployment Start with a pilot that includes your power users or highly collaborative teams. Start with a smaller test group, but lay the foundation for your global needs 5. Support / Training Make sure you are setup with tier-1 and tier-2 support. Give your users a mechanism to provide real-time feedback
