Both enterprises and cloud service providers (CSPs) are seeing significant value from the introduction of managed, hosted and cloud communication applications and services. While the concept of managed and hosted services is not new, the emergence of cloud architectures has redefined and reignited interest in subscription based Cloud Communication models. Every day, enterprise executives and IT organizations hear how the Cloud is a revolution that is transforming their industry. Yet the reality is, the adoption of Cloud Communications by enterprises will be an evolution, not a revolution. Though there are important differences between managed, hosted and cloud services, the bigger story is the growing demand from enterprises interested in working with CSPs to manage, host and deliver communication applications from the cloud. The opportunities are exciting for both the enterprises interested in the benefits of Unified Communications and Collaboration applications and the Cloud Service Providers able to launch new communication solutions to drive new revenue streams and introduce differentiated offers. This white paper presents the case for enterprises and CSPs to embrace managed, hosted and cloud communication solutions, enabling enterprise users to connect anytime, anywhere on any device by using communication and collaboration applications in more intuitive and meaningful ways. The paper also presents an overview of the solutions Avaya offers to help enterprises and CSPs adopt and benefit from the Cloud. The Emergence of Private, Public and Hybrid Cloud Communication Solutions Enterprises and CSPs have started evolving their communication and collaboration solutions to introduce private, public and hybrid Cloud Communication solutions enabled by virtualized, decentralized cloud architectures. avaya.com 1
2 While the concept of managed and hosted services is not new, the emergence of cloud architectures has redefined and reignited interest in subscription based Cloud Communication models. Figure 1 The range of Cloud Communication options for Enterprises and CSPs The evolution from on-premises Unified Communications (UC) and Contact Center (CC) applications toward Cloud Communications includes a progression in how the enterprise builds, deploys and consumes communication applications. Initially, many enterprises have focused on the introduction of private cloud solutions as a complement to their on-premises communication and collaboration applications. Whether built by the enterprise or provided as a managed service, this approach enables enterprises to gain early benefits of decentralized communication applications while maintaining a private, secure deployment. To gain the full benefits from a Cloud Communications solution, enterprises are considering the adoption of public, multi-tenant communication applications delivered as a hosted or cloud service. In most cases, the hosted or cloud communication service is delivered and billed under a subscription pay-as-yougo pricing model that enables an enterprise to match operating expenses with usage and demand. In the space between the private cloud and public cloud, hybrid cloud communication solutions are emerging. Hybrid Clouds combine on-premises, private and/or public cloud communication applications and resources to maximize existing enterprise Unified Communications, Contact Center and Video investments by complementing them with new cloud applications. Evolving to Cloud Communications For most organizations, the path to cloud communications is not a quickly decided, all-or-nothing choice. It is more than simply selecting a private or public option, and determining when and how many communication and collaboration applications to migrate. Instead, many enterprises are using both avaya.com 2
3 the private and public cloud building their own private cloud for specific applications or departments while also utilizing a hosted cloud communications model for some applications in the public cloud. This creates a hybrid cloud model where resources are split between the enterprise and the CSP, and optimized for performance, cost and strategic priorities. Organizations are engaging cloud communication solutions and services gradually, often starting with managed, private outsourcing of communication applications. Reasons for this gradual and balanced approach include: Preserving investments in on-premise equipment with depreciation life still remaining. Unproven return on investment and quality of service skepticism by IT professionals. Before making significant investments in new applications, some organizations may choose to minimize risk by using them in the cloud. Security concerns for sensitive data. Organizations may choose a balance of public and private cloud implementations to preserve control of intellectual property and meet data and organizational security needs. Enterprise Benefits from Cloud Communications Cloud Communications represents a significant shift in the way that enterprise IT resources are managed, operated, and consumed. Important benefits of Cloud Communications to enterprises can include: Reduced capital expenses (CapEx) Enterprises can reduce capital expense by optimizing infrastructure asset virtualization and leveraging the shared communication and collaboration resources available from hosted and cloud solutions. With these savings, enterprises can re-allocate IT resources to high-gain productivity opportunities across the department or business. Efficient operating expenses (OpEx) Cloud Communication business models typically introduce pay-as-you-go utility pricing billed on a monthly basis and treated as OpEx by the enterprise. This gives enterprises greater control over their expenses, delivering predictable monthly billing without costs for unused services. Simplified experience and management Cloud Communication solutions can establish a common, simplified overall application and infrastructure management while enabling a better, consistent experience for users and administrators. Improved flexibility Cloud Communication solutions introduce new, flexible ways for the enterprise to deploy, integrate and consume communication and collaboration services. avaya.com 3
4 Faster deployment of applications With Cloud Communications, enterprises can respond and scale quickly based on seasonality or demand fluctuations. They can also easily adopt new features for a subset of users before rolling out applications to a broader set of users. Complexity Reduction Enterprises gain a simpler environment by removing technology obsolescence concerns and receiving automatic system upgrades as changes occur and new features are developed. Cloud Service Provider Benefits from Cloud Communications By introducing hosted Cloud Communication solutions, CSPs help organizations improve business agility while optimizing budgets and resources. Enterprises can off-load the challenges of managing Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) environments, widely dispersed workforces and the shifting demands of end-customers. Cloud Communication solutions enable CSPs to evolve and augment enterprise communications with cloud-based solutions as well as provide greater interoperability by federating communications across vendors, domains and protocols. Cloud Communications benefits for CSPs include: New UC, CC and Video revenue streams With cloud communication platforms, CSPs can quickly introduce a number of new UC, CC and Video communication bundles to their enterprise customers. Flexible platform with scalable capacity Hosted Cloud communication platforms allow CSPs the flexibility to deliver multiple cloud communication bundles that are easy to manage as demand increases. New value added applications and services By adopting cloud communications platforms, CSPs can quickly define and deploy a broad range of new value added applications and services to their UC, CC and Video offers, customize offers, and differentiate their cloud communication solutions.
