Is your network ready for Skype for Business? (And how to find out) - IR - ContactCenterWorld.com Blog

Is your network ready for Skype for Business? (And how to find out)

In my last blog post, I wrote about the importance of a network pre-assessment to ensure success for UC deployments. Well, exciting news to just come out of Microsoft's WPC, where IR was announced as one of the IT Pro Tool partners to support Skype for Business Online Network Readiness in the new Microsoft Skype Operations Framework (SOF).

The SOF addresses the Plan, Deliver and Operate phases of Skype for Business. A Network Readiness Assessment is a crucial part of the Plan phase, to ensure the network is prepared for Skype for Business. Microsoft has defined two levels of assessment to deliver this; Essentials and Advanced. After working closely with the Microsoft Skype for Business IT Pro Tools partner team, we have ensured Prognosis meets all the requirements for both the Essentials Level, which is focused on readiness and identifying issues, and Advanced Level which offers root-cause analysis and remediation.
