How do cloud phone systems compare?

A cloud communications and collaboration solution  not only gives you everything you need to simplify and empower your business, it also completely alters the cost structure of both hard and soft costs. Let us look at some of the hard cost savings.

One all-inclusive cloud communications and collaboration solution-All you need in a phone system, plus text, audio and video conferencing, meetings, and team messaging and collaboration. This eliminates the need for additional services from third-party vendors, immediately removing a layer of surplus expense and complexity.

Lower multi-site management costs-Anyone can add phones and numbers, make changes, and handle moves from an intuitive web interface.

Reduced IT maintenance and infrastructure-All handled in the cloud by the service provider, eliminating operational expenses and IT distraction.

Elimination of many telephony costs-This includes removal of several line items such as switches as all voice and UC traffic travel over the internet.

Lower IT service provider costs for ongoing updates- RingCentral handles updates and provides continuous improvements and innovations.

Increased worker productivity- New capabilities, such as direct-extension dialing and the ability to forward calls and faxes to mobile phones make workers more effective;  also handles integrations with leading CRM systems like Salesforce® and Microsoft® productivity tools or suites.

Reduced up-front cost-Phones can be rented, making it a lot easier to upgrade to the latest models without a large initial layout.

Decreased cost of supporting a mobile workforce-The unique  app enables you to turn a smartphone into an office phone, saves carrier costs, especially for conference calling, video meetings, and those associated with international travel.

The cost-saving benefits, along with the simplicity, flexibility, and manageability of unified cloud communications explains the rapid adoption of these solutions by businesses of all sizes.

  • Cloud solutions allow you to move all your business communications to the cloud and benefit from the same cost and operational expense reductions you can experience when you move other critical business applications.
  • Office provides an all-inclusive cloud communications and collaboration solution that can be customized to suit your business needs and budget.
  • Not only can you rest assured that your overhead will be reduced considerably, you will have the peace of mind that your employees have everything they need to do business effectively, today, and long into the future.

Skype is going away Microsoft TEAMS is now the cats meow I’m not really that old but TEAMS is hot.

by | Mar 28, 2020 | Cloud Computing, Cloud Software, Remote Workers, TEAMS, The Cloud

The Data doesn’t Lie…it’s Time to move to Teams, BUT thee are caveats / Not all users need, or have a Desktop to make a call using TEAMS. That is where we and our vendors come in. Read on…..

If you had to take a guess on how many collaboration services your clients are running, would you say 1, 2, or 5? Our survey of 247 Executive, IT, and Sr. Operations professionals revealed that most mid-market businesses are running an average of 2.4 collaboration services today, most of which were implemented by departments outside
of IT.

Challenge #1 – When we asked these same organizations if they preferred having a single solution, an overwhelming majority (56%) said ‘yes’, while only 14% preferred having multiple collaboration solutions.

Challenge #2 – 41.5% of organizations are using Microsoft Teams today and 36.5% plan to deploy Microsoft Teams in the next couple of years. Microsoft recently announced that they now have over 20 million active daily Teams users, making Teams the fastest adopted service in Microsoft’s history!

Challenge #3 – Nearly 1/2 of the 247 businesses that responded (47.5%) told us that their preferred collaboration system MUST integrate with their communications solution, while 30% were still undecided.

Challenge #4 – For those businesses that demand a voice-integrated collaboration system, nearly half plan to re-evaluate their voice provider, while only 17% plan to use their current UCaaS provider to deploy their collaboration suite.

Here’s the rub. Microsoft Teams doesn’t support all of the enterprise voice features required by mid-market and enterprise businesses! Learn more about those gaps and missing features at our Blog https://appliedconsultinggroup.net/blog/

Citrix and VDI: What is the Difference Between Them?
FacebookTwitterLinkedInEmailMore
Citrix and VDI: Citrix Virtual Apps (formerly Citrix XenApp) is an application delivery solution that allows access to Windows-based applications to any device compatible with Citrix Receiver.

VDI stands for virtual desktop infrastructure. A VDI desktop is a desktop running on a server in the datacenter that a user can access from virtually any device. To use VDI with Citrix, you need to purchase Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktop (formerly Citrix XenDesktop). Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktop (formerly Citrix XenDesktop) and VMware Horizon are two well-known solutions to implement and deploy a virtual desktop infrastructure.

What Are the Different Types of VDI?
While there is a common definition of VDI, there are various methodologies to deliver virtual desktops, classified into three main categories:

Desktop-Based VDI – A desktop running in a virtual machine that is hosted on a server in the datacenter.
Server-Based VDI – A desktop running in a server operating system that is available only for a single user at a time (Remote PC).
Session-Based VDI – An individual session running inside a server OS on either a virtual machine or a physical server.
What Are the Citrix Virtual Apps (formerly Citrix XenApp) and Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktop (formerly Citrix XenDesktop) Limitations for VDI?
Deploying and maintaining VDI with Citrix is complicated due to different licenses offering different features. For example, to support desktop-based VDI and server-based VDI, organizations need to upgrade from Citrix Virtual Apps (formerly Citrix XenApp) to Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktop (formerly Citrix XenDesktop)—even in its Platinum Edition, Citrix Virtual Apps (formerly Citrix XenApp) does not support a full VDI.

How to Deploy VDI with Citrix
To deploy VDI with Citrix, organizations must consider what kind of VDI they will need for their infrastructures (desktop, server, or session-based). They also need to be aware that publishing applications require either Citrix Virtual Apps (formerly Citrix XenApp) or Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktop (formerly Citrix XenDesktop) Enterprise/Platinum version.

Citrix’s VDI solution Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktop (formerly Citrix XenDesktop) works in small environments as well as large ones, but it’s geared toward medium and large enterprise. Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktop (formerly Citrix XenDesktop) is available in three versions.

XenDesktop VDI
This version provides only the basic Citrix VDI technology, restricting the delivery options to VDI and personal VDI (session-based VDI), without the traditional Citrix product Citrix Virtual Apps (formerly Citrix XenApp).

XenDesktopEnterprise
This version offers more VDI features but is missing certain key features, such as Common Criteria certified, fine-grained context-based policy, session recording, and more. The main benefit of this version is the inclusion of Citrix’s flagship product Citrix Virtual Apps (formerly Citrix XenApp). Citrix Virtual Apps (formerly Citrix XenApp) virtualizes applications and is often paired with Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktop (formerly Citrix XenDesktop) to reduce the individual user storage footprint.

XenDesktopPlatinum
This version includes all Citrix VDI features, plus an enhanced version of Citrix Virtual Apps (formerly Citrix XenApp) called XenApp Platinum. It also includes a couple of additional features such as seamless local applications, self-service password reset, and a UX network analysis.

Note: To deploy a fully-featured application and desktop delivery infrastructure with Citrix, you also need to purchase Citrix add-ons (NetScaler).

Parallels RAS Is Your Citrix Alternative.
Parallels® Remote Application Server (RAS) provides a cost-effective Citrix alternative that’s easy to deploy and maintain. It delivers applications and desktops from RDS and VDI without feature limitations. In addition, a free, full-featured, 30-day trial is available for a variety of deployments: on-premises, trial-in-a-box, and in the cloud (public, private, or hybrid). Download your trial today.
