LIKE MOST TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS … IT DEPENDS
• Complete a needs analysis and match needs to solutions
• Just Voice?
• Video? Chat? Meetings? Shared whiteboard?
• Advanced workflow optimization with application integration?
• Make it objective, don’t ‘bake the thing’
• Does your Org need or, even more important, want a change?
• Personnel - Culture and Cost, Control versus Loss of Control
• CapEx to OpEx, other budgetary pressures
• Technology/Innovation pressures
• Do you have overlapping technologies?
• Can you consolidate? Which makes most sense?
• Run TCO on all platforms, 3-5 years modeling is standard
• Are there consumptions models that will overlap?

UPGRADE/MIGRATION/RISK MITIGATION STRATEGIES
• Collaboration Tech is intensely personnel
• Complete needs analysis of whole org, not just IT view
• Organization change management
• Move SLOW but FAST
• Pragmatic about design, project planning, communications & training
• Don’t be afraid to push the change (especially organizationally)
• Ask for Help
• Organizations that do this all the time
• You have a day job, let go a bit
• While it may be ‘fun’ to design … is it fun to implement all by yourself?
• 2 heads better than 1

Q&A
• Do customers ever move from cloud back to on-prem or is it always the other
way around?
• Does the industry we're in have anything to do with which deployment model
we should choose?
• My users are all over the world. How does that affect security in a cloud
environment vs on-prem?
• Do you have any suggestions for benchmarking productivity
before collaboration software deployment? And then tracking afterwards?
• Is 'lift and shift' as dangerous as everyone says it is?
