Microsoft Lync has emerged as a leading option for enterprises seeking to deploy next generation Unified Communications. Lync is poised to serve as the centerpiece of your UC environment, supporting everything from presence/instant messaging, to video—even replacing your legacy voice platform if you wish. As you roll out Lync, you’ll find new opportunities to enhance user productivity and integrate the elements of your communications and collaboration infrastructure by deploying Lync and working with the vast ecosystem of Microsoft partners.

This in-depth Virtual Event will feature detailed presentations by independent technology experts who can help you plan your Lync-based UC migration and get the most out of all that Lync has to offer. You’ll also have the opportunity to interact with representatives from Microsoft and its partners, including Systems Integrators, Independent Software Vendors and Hardware/Device Vendors.

Topics Covered include:

• Getting Started with Lync
• Lync and Mobility
• How to Replace your PBX with Lync

Once and for all – the desktop phone is not "going away." But it is evolving, and it is also being replaced for selected users, primarily those whose work makes them heavily dependent on mobile technologies. You may still need to spend 1/3 or more of your communications systems procurement costs on endpoints, but you must make sure you're getting the right endpoint functionality – whether that functionality resides in a hard phone, PC soft phone, or software client that lives on a user's mobile phone. It's not about the device, it's about what your users need for the device to do. This Virtual Event will offer you a wealth of information to help you sort through the choices that are out there today, so you can determine which technologies and options are mature enough; how to guarantee all end devices are secure; how to optimize cost and functionality; and how to support all your users, whatever end device they're on.

Among the topics we’ll cover:

• Making the Choices
• Device Ownership: Should Your Enterprise Embrace BYOD?
• Securing and Managing the Gamut of Devices in Your Enterprise
• Cost Factors: Services, Licensing, Maintenance & Support for the Range of Endpoints
• Consistent Interface: One Client for All Your Devices
• Using the Cloud to Support a Multi-Device Strategy
