Microsoft Lync delivers a comprehensive communication platform.

Lync finds and enables interaction with the appropriate person,

using a variety of methods such as instant messaging, conferencing,

and enterprise voice. It enables organisations to reduce the

operating costs of IT, telecoms and travel.

With the increased volumes and complexity of UC data, comes the

challenges of smart management and control. Organisations need

to ensure that user adoption, Quality of Experience and costs are

being monitored, to optimise results and return on investment.

UC Analytics is a monitoring and reporting tool which delivers a 360

degree view of Lync usage and associated costs. Trends in the

usage of voice, video, IM, conferences, file transfers and application

sharing can be compared, to highlight user acceptance,

performance metrics and cost savings to enable more effective use

of resources. The tool is easy to use, displaying information in a

simple to view format suitable for use by any employee within an

organisation, removing the need for any time consuming manual

processes.

QoE and

Capacity Planning

With the unknown network impact of deploying new technology, UC Analytics gives on-going assessment of MOS, SIP trunks and other net-work elements to assists in infrastructure sup-port and planning.

User Adoption

The multiple modes of communication available

with Lync means it is essential to ensure users

are utilising the available technology correctly

maximising the ROI.

Cost Control

Monitoring of Lync usage and associated costs

enables tighter control resulting in substantial

cost savings. ROI can be demonstrated through

savings in call costs and travel expenses.

Employee Productivity

Clear visibility of Lync will ensure correct time

and resource management. Who’s calling where

and when, how quickly are calls being answered

and are users abusing resources.

UC Analytics Features

DASHBOARD USER INTERFACE

The dashboard delivers a real-time snapshot of Lync usage,

which is updated every 60 seconds. Enjoy the flexibility of a

user experience the way you want it, customise the position

of charts and what information is displayed. Filters can be

applied to the charts, ensuring that only relevant information

is displayed. Click through reporting produces detailed

reports with a single click.

The Conference Summary report shows a daily

breakdown of voice and video conference usage

REPORTS

All reports can be scheduled to run automatically or generated

on a one-off basis. Delivery is typically via email or saved to disk

and can be in a variety of formats such as Excel, PDF or CSV.

Standard report templates are available for user adoption,

capacity planning, conferences, call carrier comparisons, costs

and more.

The Report Builder allows reports to be sorted and grouped by

three levels, including by date, department, employee, cost,

duration and call volume. Filters can be applied such as date,

time, call direction, call type, employee, extension, department,

response group. There is the option to include or exclude charts

which can be bar, pie, line or stacked bar. Details displayed on

the Y-Axis can also be selected dependant upon report type.

It is easy to brand the reports with logos and relevant colour

scheme.

Voice | Video | Instant Messaging | Conferences | File Transfer | App Sharing

Report Designer

The varying reporting requirements of organisations using Lync means that the reporting solution

must be flexible enough to reflect these diverse needs. The Report Designer allows users to define

the fields displayed in reports ensuring the information is entirely relevant.

Alarms and Monthly Extension budget

It is possible to set up as many system alarms as required. When a user defined call criteria such as low

MOS, calls over a cost or duration or missed calls has been met an alarm is instantly delivered by email

so that immediate action can be taken. Using the budget feature, you can set a monthly cost or duration

threshold on an extension, and when this has been reached, outbound calling can automatically be pro-

hibited allowing further investigation to be made. This addresses employee abuse and the threat of toll

fraud.
