The capability of becoming a Web Collaboration Platform by simply adding a server and licenses empowers companies.
Staff for administering Univerge 3C are telecomms specialist, but the person who administrates Active Directory could be the one as it´s a platform that is fully software based. We have customers who started up with the product running v2 over ATM and are now based on SWA (Software Assurance) they have been migrating to the latest versions of the software, replacing some gateways from ATM to ethernet, however I believe there is no need to drop their investment. Another great feature is the unique User Centric Capability that allows IT administrator full control of the users based on their Microsoft AD credentials independently of their multiple devices (Deskphone; Smart Phone; Tablet and/or PC/Laptop). Finally, the capability of becoming a Web Collaboration Platform by simply adding a server and licenses empowers companies with the option to access to great tools for collaboration and stop spending a lot of money in travelling, training, etc.
