This panel session will share a real-life customer–s journey to Skype for Business.
Many businesses are beginning a complex, evolutionary journey to Skype for Business as a critical part of their Unified Communications (UC) solution set. The session at Enterprise Connect will highlight some of the most challenging scenarios that decision-makers face, including multi-PBX interoperability, intelligent call processing and mobility. Attendees will learn how to navigate the waters to address these challenges and realize a successful deployment of Skype for Business.
According to King, “Skype for Business is a modern communications solution that enables a highly-connected workforce. AVST, a Microsoft Gold Partner, provides value-added enterprise-class UC applications that enhance our customers– experience and let them take advantage of the Skype for Business platform without foregoing any of the functionality they expect. This panel session is a great opportunity to share a real-world implementation that addresses serious customer requirements.”
A critical component of the panel discussion is the insider–s view of a successful customer implementation of Skype for Business in the UK. Presented by Batchelor, this portion of the session will cover the implementation of Skype for Business in the London Borough of Lambeth. When migrating their legacy PBX to Skype for Business, this local authority needed AVST to bridge the two voice platforms together to accommodate their large and diverse user base. AVST also accommodated the authority–s large pool of mobile workers and offered intelligent call processing capabilities for routing critical inbound calls quickly and effectively.
“It was crucial for us to find a robust solution that could intelligently route calls to various endpoints and ensure that messages were secure,” said Batchelor. “AVST was instrumental in helping us modernize our communications and make the transition to Skype for Business. I look forward to sharing our experiences with attendees at Enterprise Connect.”
