Collaboration Platform

Changed grey palet to darker
This slide articulates the benefits of ‘Cloud Collaboration’ > i.e. how if you migrate your collaboration applications and services out to a cloud model you can again greater flexibility and the befits listed hereTalking Points:Corporate Datacenter is smaller now > less to maintainConnect to a 3rd Party ‘cloud’ that maintains, manages and delivers a range of workloads (this can be from an HCS partner, the WebEx Cloud or other)The first application consumed here is Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM - Call Control).We first show a current release that delivers one set of features and functionality… then transition to a new release that delivers an updated feature set (for example going from R 8.6 to 9.0)Point out that the whole estate may benefit from the latest (release) > ‘Evergreen’ benefit of cloudThen the subsequent transitions show how each workload can be added to each site or group of usersPoint out:Not every site or group of user have to be included. A hybrid approach could be employed to maintain some sites on legacy environment who can be cut over when appropriateWorkloads can be deployed in any order and in any density > i.e. Not necessarily to every site or group of usersFinal build shows that flexibility exists to include additional (3rd party) workloads into the model and other cloud services.
