Manage your UC costs
Understand service adoption and license usage, to optimize costs
The challenge
UC assets encompass a wide array of components, including software licenses, devices, hardware, voice capacity, numbering, and specialized meeting room applications. Managing and calculating the expenditure associated with these assets is far from straightforward. Cost analytics data is often scattered across various UC applications, presented in different and raw formats, and is subject to constant change due to staff turnover and evolving technology landscapes. The larger the UC environment, the more difficult this is to navigate, resulting in monthly operating costs that are both opaque and significant.
The solution
VOSS enables organizations to optimize resource utilization and control costs in their UC and collaboration estate. Our platform is configured to track critical assets such as licensing, devices, telephone numbers, and capacity, across the diverse components of a UC ecosystem. By integrating VOSS into a UC environment, you will gain access to a single point of control for discovery, analysis, trending, and reporting on asset utilization and spending. Intelligent business dashboards can be tailored to meet specific requirements, offering a comprehensive view of an organization’s digital workplace assets and expenditures.
Harness automation to manage costs? Here’s how:
User and device onboarding
In order to benefit from the productivity efficiencies that UC and collaboration has to offer, end user adoption is key. Whether for your employees or, as a service provider, your customers’ employees, success depends on complete adoption of the collaboration tools offered. Rapid and efficient onboarding of users and devices is critical, along with ensuring end users are well-trained and confident, enabling them to become more effective and successful collaborators through the UC tools they use.
Performance management insight
Getting a deep insight into service adoption rates and license usage will help you better understand employee behavior, enable you to make changes that improve productivity, and result in operational efficiencies. Historically, gathering data about service usage, service adoption, user trends, and license consumption has been very challenging in a multi-application UC environment. Having access to a tool that gives powerful business context insights and visibility to drive efficiency and understanding is becoming increasingly important.
