Network Assessment for Skype4B

by Gary Audin Is your network ready for VoIP calls? Is it ready for Avaya or Cisco? If so, migrating to Skype4B will introduce new challenges. What worked well for your IP PBX may not function as well with Skype4B. You need to perform a network assessment before you migrate and after the migration is completed. A continuous problem is that traffic keeps changing even while the network remains relatively static. You will not know why the voice quality is impaired without an assessment. Tom Tuttle, SVP, UC Strategy and Global Alliances and Matt Christopher, VP, Customer Experience at Nectar www.nectarcorp.com recorded this podcast with Gary Audin at the Microsoft Ignite conference.
