UC Strategy
Unified Communications solutions offer a huge range of benefits and can help to transform an organization. If implemented well, UC can facilitate an agile working environment, aid collaboration and spark innovation.
Our experience has shown that many organizations are confused about UC and how it could or should impact them. Many organizations have a lot of the elements that comprise a UC solution, but are often deployed as siloed applications.
We help clients to define their needs, identify the best solutions and advise on best practice implementation processes. Our objective is to simplify the noise and provide first class advisory services for all major solutions in the market.
Typical Considerations
- Budget – How much will it cost and what is my ROI?
- Product – Which product should I select?
- Functionality – There are many options, which do I need?
- Implementation – How do I go about it? What goes wrong?
Our strategy development process comprises the following steps:
- Discovery – Current systems, services, contracts, costs, etc.
- Business Requirements – Future needs workshops
- Options Analysis – Identify and review each option
- Budget Modelling – Model the costs for each option
- Recommendations – Provide a comprehensive set of costed recommendations

UC Procurement
The UC market is highly competitive with different customers paying very different prices. Although negotiating with a large supplier or telco such as Cisco or AT&T can appear challenging, we have a proven track record of delivering results.
We understand the products and the suppliers. We know the pitfalls of contractual “legalese”. We give our clients the advantage in any negotiation.
UC Implementations – NetComm Global Framework
Our global framework moves your UC from an ad hoc, “build it and they will come” deployment scenario to a best practices deployment methodology using a three phased approach:
- Planning and Business Assessment
- Solution Design
- Implementation/Integration and Optimization
Our framework elements and methodology have been used by a number of customers to plan and deploy their unified communications solutions across North America, APAC, EMEA and LATAM.
Organizations can rely on our framework to provide a repeatable and customizable unified communications deployment methodology. Some parts of the framework must be implemented by in-house personnel, while significant portions can be done with assistance from a trusted services partner like us.
The framework accounts for mobile workforce and flexibility of remote work environments. We are experienced at handling Different Users, Different Styles and Different workspaces. Any technology, including unified communications, must be deployed with the people and the processes it will impact in mind.
