For organizations that rely on Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM), keeping the communication environment current is critical to maintaining reliable business communications. As systems grow, technologies change, and older versions reach the end of their support lifecycle, organizations may need to upgrade, migrate, or optimize their Cisco Call Manager environment.
UCC Networks provides Cisco Call Manager upgrades and professional services to help organizations plan, implement, and manage these complex projects.
Why Upgrade Cisco Call Manager?
Cisco Call Manager, also known as Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM), remains an important platform for organizations managing enterprise voice and collaboration environments.
An upgrade can provide several benefits, including:
- Access to newer Cisco features and functionality
- Improved security and system stability
- Support for newer phones, devices, and applications
- Improved compatibility with integrations and third-party solutions
- Better performance
- Continued access to supported Cisco software releases
For organizations operating an older CUCM environment, an upgrade can also be an opportunity to review the overall architecture and determine whether the existing environment is still the right fit for the business.
Cisco Call Manager Upgrade Services
A successful CUCM upgrade requires more than simply installing new software. It involves understanding the existing environment, identifying dependencies, planning the migration, and thoroughly testing the system before and after the upgrade.
UCC Networks can assist with the complete upgrade process, including:
Assessment & Discovery
Our engineers review the existing Cisco environment, including CUCM, Unity, endpoints, integrations, PSTN connectivity, E911 requirements, and other components that may impact the project.
Planning & Upgrade Strategy
Based on the discovery process, UCC Networks develops an upgrade and implementation strategy designed around the organization’s requirements, timeline, and existing infrastructure.
Implementation & Migration
Our Cisco engineers can assist with building the new environment, migrating configurations and data, implementing required software and hardware, and coordinating the transition to the upgraded platform.
Testing & Cutover
Before going live, the environment is tested to verify call routing, devices, applications, integrations, and other critical functionality. UCC Networks can also provide post-cutover support to help address issues following implementation.
More Than Just Call Manager Upgrades
UCC Networks’ Professional Services team supports a broad range of Unified Communications and collaboration technologies. Services can include Cisco Call Manager upgrades, Webex solutions, Contact Center projects, cloud migrations, installations, configuration, and technical consulting.
