When it comes time to migrate to a new Unified Communication (UC) or Collaboration platform, it can be difficult for IT to juggle the pressure and complexity tied to a tight timeline and budget. The Cloud Communications Transformation (CCT) service is a proven programmatic process that handles transformations from an older UC system to a new UCaaS cloud-phone system. Our experienced cloud consultants will create a migration plan and lead you through all the implementation steps.
Depending on the needs of your transformation, the service may include one or more of the following: voice integration, Direct Routing/Premise Peering carrier configurations & architecting, DID porting, SBC configurations, analog gateway configurations, and network readiness
One of the newest cloud consulting services, CCT is designed to help IT rapidly migrate users, while supporting technology systems with optimum performance.
When making the move to a new Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) platform it can often be helpful to get a little ‘jumpstart.’

No matter the level of IT subject matter expertise related to Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Skype for Business, or Microsoft 365, it can still be difficult to plot the optimal course forward. Our Microsoft Teams and Zoom expert cloud consultants will assess your current video conferencing and/or cloud-voice specific situation and business goals. Next, we will apply industry and Unify Square best practices to develop a customized, ready-for-execution approach unique to your environment.

Creating, approving, and maintaining a comprehensive Microsoft 365 and Teams-specific governance model is a complex process. The design workshop is a collaborative engagement where we will help you create (or modify an existing model) and architect your governance and security policies for Teams.
The workshop will result in a detailed plan and associated architectural design aligned with your unique business needs, your existing M365 security model, and the collaboration features introduced by Microsoft Teams. The plan is a technical guide to integrate Teams into your existing security model while providing a framework for all stakeholders to review, approve, and integrate new collaboration features and integrations as they are released to the product.
With the introduction of collaboration to your overall communications stack, there are many additional considerations IT and InfoSec teams need to keep in mind. With increased collaboration and visibility, it’s important to also continue to reduce risk exposure.
The Collaboration Security RightTrack™, focuses on managing the balance between collaboration and security for organizations using Microsoft Teams, Microsoft 365, and Zoom. To do this, our consultants will provide you with a topline model and audit of your current collaboration governance structure, policies and group lifecycle settings (including Azure Directory and Microsoft 365 settings).
We will also walk through how to work with the native platform governance tools to set up a basic collaboration security model for your organization. The end goal is to increase InfoSec awareness relating to the collaboration workloads without limiting the productivity benefits of workstream collaboration applications.

With most employees working from home, deployment and operations of UCaaS conferencing and collaboration systems have been fairly straightforward. However, as the RTO (return to the office) process commences organizations are seeing complex usage scenarios emerge. Unique hybrid scenarios mixing WFH, office worker and remote (non-home) workers create unanticipated media quality and collaboration challenges.
One of our newest cloud consulting services, our RTO Readiness Service helps you game out an optimized strategy and best practices for UC/WSC platform health that is customized for your environment. The output of this service is a set of top-line analytics, the guidelines/recommendations for how to tune your entire environment (from home office, to office conference room, to room system, to network) to help ensure your team is ready for business success with your collaboration and/or UC platform deployment.
An optional add-on to this service is a network (in-office) Wi-Fi Assessment to test and measure for: signal strength, latency, jitter, packet loss, same channel overlap, audio quality degradation, and connected access.
