Step 9 - Support & Innovation
This blog series has just about run its natural course. I have talked about my experiences and thoughts regarding best practices for the UCaaS or CCaaS Projects that many organizations undertake or are thinking about undertaking in the future as they update their business-critical systems and infrastructure.

Step 8 - Hand-off to Support
My blog series has now led us to this point: our project has gone live and is performing as expected. At this point, someone usually raises the question of transitioning the project to support.

Step 7 - Installment
In my previous blog posts about UCaaS project topics, we covered all the required steps to plan, provision, deliver, test and train. This installment will cover the all-important go-live step. This is when we prove that all the work has been done correctly as we take the solution live in the production environment. In theory, this should be a routine event with no drama or unexpected outcomes. We say that because of the preparation and testing that gave you the confidence to go-live in the first place.

Step 6 - Training
We can probably all look back on a project we were involved in either as a customer or a provider that was well defined, built exactly to the requirements, thoroughly tested, and still had a rocky go-live period. What went wrong? The most likely suspect is a poorly thought out or executed training plan.

Step 5 - Testing
In our blog series, there has been a lot of emphasis on attention to detail and setting up a project that is steeped in “tried and true” project management fundamentals. We are now at the point where we have worked with the customer to ensure that we captured their requirements to the best of our ability. We’ve designed and developed a solution with the customer’s approval. Finally, we’ve had our implementation team provision and deliver that design to specifications. Now comes the final piece – testing – to ensure that what we provisioned and delivered functions to the manufacturer’s specifications.

Step 4 - Provisioning & Delivery
Up to this point in our blog series, we have primarily been talking about the initial steps for getting a project off to a successful start from an administrative and design perspective. With this segment, we cover assembling the items needed to build and deploy a UCaaS Project to the customer’s specifications.

Step 3 - The Solution Design
In our blog series, we pretty much have the prerequisites out of the way, and it is time to start executing for the customer. When it comes to a design, that means taking the project requirements as defined by the customer, performing data collection (using templates) and creating a design document with the results of that data collection.

Cloud implementation process is more than Plug-&-Play
Despite the advertised simplicity of cloud voice, the technology does not come already integrated with your applications and configured to support your Contact Center requirements. It’s the behind-the-scenes evaluation of your system configuration and setup that makes cloud work the way it’s been proposed to work.
