You may have a clear vision of the future of your communications and collaboration requirements, but do you know how to achieve these effectively from your current position?
We will give you several advices how to do it:
Verovatno imate jasnu viziju budućih zahteva za komunikacionim i kolaborativnim okruženjem, ali da li znate kako da to dostignete iz svoje sadašnje pozicije?
Daćemo Vam nekoliko saveta, kako da to uradite:
| Optimize: Maintains and maximizes the performance and efficiency of an existing communications environment and provides recommendations for future enhancements | Ukoliko se plašite promene mrežne i telefonske infrastrukture zato što ne prepoznajete neposrednu ekonomsku i operativnu korist ili niste u mogućnosti da investirate, preporučujemo pristup Optimizacije koji Vam omogućava da produžite period eksploatacije i efikasnost Vaše postojeće infrastrukture, i tako se pripremite za buduća unapređenja. |
| Enhance: Add incremental capabilities (e.g. Presence, Mobility, and SIP based communications) to an existing environment in a non-disruptive manner to add real and immediate value. | Ukoliko već koristite Siemens telefonske centrale prethodnih generacija, a u mogućnosti ste da investirate u postepena unapređenja Vaše mrežne i telefonske infrastrukture, pristup Unapređenja je najbolji način za uvođenje novih funkcija Unified Communications-a, kao što su Presence, Mobility, SIP komunikacije itd. Drugi pristup može da bude NES Managed Services čijim uvođenjem trajno prestajete da brinete o neophodnosti stalnih unapređenja sistema i obuka novih zaposlenih, a korišćenje novih UC osobina će Vam poboljšati komunikaciju i unutar organizacije i prema korisnicima, i omogućiće da se koncentrišete na svoj osnovni posao |
| Transform: Apply the full range of available components to transform a communications environment for maximum competitive advantage and long term operational and business benefit, at a pace that suits each organization. | Pristup Transformacije ima dva modela: prvi primenjuju srednje i velike organizacije koje imaju mogućnosti i inženjerske resurse za uvođenje i eksploataciju sopstvene UC infrastrukture. Male i srednje organizacije imaju mogućnost uvođenja UC usluga, korišćenjem NES Hosted Service-a. |

OpenPath can help transform an existing proprietary environment into one which is open, flexible, human-centric and business-focussed, and designed to support business strategy and the ever-changing communications needs of an enterprise.
Optimise acknowledges that an organisation may not want to, or may not see any immediate economic or operational reason to change. Many organisations are satisfied with their current communications and data networking solutions, but recognise that there are still opportunities to reexamine and improve how they are implemented within the enterprise.
Organisations may also be confronted with enforced changes to industry regulations or other legislation. In these situations there is opportunity to significantly improve the existing environment, while, at the same time, laying the foundations for a successful move to Open Communications when appropriate.
A large proportion of legacy equipment can continue to be utilised in an open environment, as long as careful planning is undertaken before any changes are made. It is difficult to know how to change if you do not have a clear understanding of your starting position.
Organisations need to have a comprehensive view of their current; infrastructure, technologies, contracts and business processes, or engage a qualified third-party to help them with this process, before they embark on a change project.
NES Professional Services can be provided to establish the ‘fit for purpose’ of; existing infrastructure, technologies, services and contracts – even within an existing multi-vendor landscape. To this solid foundation, NES Communications will propose necessary improvements and enhancements.
Maximising existing telecommunications and ICT investments is a key component of the ‘Optimise’ path.
The complexity of Unified Communications (UC), coupled with the drive to protect existing communications investments is creating hurdles in embracing technologies that otherwise prime organizations for growth.
The path to unified communications is a journey, not a discrete, single event. UC includes IP telephony, SIP and VoIP networking and Contact Center, CEBP and UC applications. A single-vendor environment is no longer a reality. As organizations increasingly view UC as a critical business tool - IT organizations are struggling to support these collaboration applications in light of decreasing staff and IT budget issues we discussed previously.
Many organizations lack the integration, workflow and management capabilities, both in staff and equipment, to implement UC let alone manage application performance.
NES Managed services can play a critical role for organizations to achieve lower total cost of ownership (TCO), predictable monthly expenses and gain access to scarce skilled resources.
This is especially relevant given that interest in UC has increased substantially in the last couple years. In 2007, just 17% of organizations were deploying UC in 2009 that number has grown to 60%.
"A managed service approach to Unified Communications is the best path to take. Not only does a managed service approach deliver hard savings, but it ensures improved performance, increased reliability and reduced business risk. All prudent decision makers should strongly consider a managed service approach to achieving the benefits of Unified Communications.” Warren Williams, Principal & Senior Consultant, IntelliCom Analytics
Transform applies to organisations that embrace and wish to immediately leverage Open Communications.
This enables an enterprise to overcome the fragmentation of today’s communications landscape and allows them to re-define the strategic objectives of how communications technologies can add value, turning a cost into a business asset.
This may be transformation to an open, single or multi-vendor SIP-enabled infrastructure;
- full presence awareness across an enterprise;
- unified communications;
- implementation of innovative support and maintenance service contracts,
- data centric communications,
- wireless voice,
or even a move towards a fully
Some organisations already recognise the value of moving to an open communications environment. NES Communications can help them achieve this with the ‘Transform’ path. Once an integrated transformation plan has been defined and checked against an organisation’s strategic objectives, NES Communications can manage the process. We can work with in-house teams and/or third parties (as appropriate) to provide strategic business, technology and service plans against which to execute a successful transformation – bringing in new technology as well as offering innovative services.
Open Communications will be deployed on an enterprise-wide scale. Technology, financial models and services are then transformed to support business objectives, applications will be deeply embedded within the business process landscape, IT based communications, mobile communications and voice communications will be harmonised in a human-centric and business oriented way. Real ICT will embrace all kinds of communications and support all business objectives instead of just being a bundling together of existing technologies.
