Companies now have several options when it comes to Microsoft’s enterprise-ready unified communications platform, Lync – from Lync on-premises, hosted Lync, to Lync Online with Office 365, or even Lync in a hybrid environment. I’ve been using Lync for over three years, and can attest to its ability to provide a more connected experience, enabling me to interact with colleagues and partners in a way that is collaborative, engaging and accessible. Lync does this by providing a single solution that unites voice, IM, audio, video, and web-conferencing.
In the last year or two, the cloud has definitely been a game changer. If you are reading this, you are likely interested in what a cloud-based UC server such has Lync Online has to offer. Lync Online can be purchased as a standalone service, or as part of Office 365 for enterprise suite, which, in addition to Lync Online, also includes Microsoft Exchange Online, Microsoft SharePoint Online, Microsoft Office Professional Plus, and Microsoft Office Online.
If you want to learn more about your options with Lync, and specifically, what Lync Online and Lync hybrid entail, and how they differ from Lync on-premises, join us next week, on Wednesday, April 30 at 1 p.m. CDT for a complimentary webinar, “Lync Online: How the Cloud Is Changing the Way We Communicate.”
During the session, Keenan Crockett, a senior solutions architect and Lync MCM who leads the Lync team at Perficient, and Trevor Miller, a Perficient senior technical consultant within our Unified Communications practice, will cover Lync Online functionality, requirements, and best practices to guide you in your decision on whether a cloud-based solution is the right fit for your organization. They’ll also spend time on the option of deploying Lync in a hybrid enviornment – from a review of functionality to required on-premises infrastructure components, as well as migration best practices. If you are interesting in voice, conferencing, and ACP integration, they will cover that too.
