8 Questions to Consider for Selecting the Right Device
1)
2)
3)
4)
What version of Lync are you on and what are your upgrade plans?
When do you plan to deploy Enterprise Voice?
Does your strategy include increasing softphone adoption?
Does your IT staff like to tinker with things and aren’t intimidated by phones
or do they expect the phones to work out of the box?
5) Are you planning to migrate from an Open-SIP or other (CUCM/Avaya)
platform to Lync?
6) Is customization important?
7) Do you require Boss/Admin or Shared Line Appearance functionality?
8) Is "Better Together" or the ability to control phone functions from the PC
important?
