Challenges
ROSEN were using Lync and before upgrading to Skype for Business, they were relying on Microsoft’s internal reporting services to analyze unified communications quality.
ROSEN also used Cisco alongside Skype for Business. The day-today running of Cisco and Lync was challenging. When call issues occurred they were only aware after the issue was reported and their only option for finding solutions was to look through Lync’s SQL reports.
They had no way to report on whether meetings were running properly. Without monitoring information, they had to rely on information they received from retrying the systems to find resolutions.
We had no visibility of a problem until users reported it. Then we had very few options for trying to find a solution.
Solution
ROSEN implemented Prognosis for UC before they upgraded to Skype for Business. Prognosis for UC is used for monitoring and troubleshooting ROSEN’s Skype for Business instance.
