Before Lync: What You Need to Know What are the primary reasons for the move?

What features of your PBX do you use now?

Integrate with existing PBX or replace the current PBX?

What do you currently have that can be salvaged?

When is Lync Your Best PBX Choice? Brand new business. No legacy to deal with! Legacy PBX that has expensive support costs or few support options.

The business requires you to improve employee collaboration, handle mobile workers, and/or WAH employees

Desire to get out of the “locked in” nature of IBM, Cisco, Siemens and their HW requirements

Need a flexible way to handle new remote locations.

Budgeting: What Impacts The Cost? Existing licenses or not? Existing infrastructure available or not? Number of hardware devices (phones, etc) Number of remote locations to handle Bandwidth considerations Training costs / Design Costs Ongoing support costs Other?
