AudioCodes and Microsoft to present
“Migrate to UC with Microsoft Lync” educational webinar series

Monthly webinar series to feature presenters
from Microsoft and industry-expert guest speakers  

One of the projects I've been working on this last month is a eight-part monthly educational webinar series focused on enterprise  migration paths to Unified Communications (UC) with Microsoft Lync. 

My goal of the eight-part webinar series is to educate businesses and the partner community on various Lync deployment options, best practices and technical “tips” on how to effectively make the migration to a full Unified Communications environment with Microsoft Lync.  I've worked dilligently to secure a group of industry experts,  VSPs, VARs, and Microsoft as presenters for the series, responding to feedback from previous event attendees who continue to ask for more in-depth  sessions with greater technical detail, more “how to” content and additional customer case studies.

Guest Speakers

The UC Migration webinar series will feature presentations from:

• Thomas Binder, Architect Voice CoE,  Microsoft
• Michael Nelson, Vice President of Integrated Access Solutions (IAS)
• Pascal Menezes, Senior Program Manager, Microsoft
• François van Hemert, Architect Voice CoE, Microsoft
• Tarek Radi, Senior Program Manager, Microsoft
• Jon Morrow, Senior Program Manager – Unified Communications, Microsoft
• Chris Sheridan, Solutions Architect, Sentri and a vTSP for Microsoft

…and others to be announced

Webinar series abstract:

Unified Communications with Microsoft Lync offers to dramatically improve employee efficiency and reduce communications costs.  But how does the typical business make the migration from existing PBX or IP-PBX systems to a complete UC platform with full mobility enabled? It's a complex process that we've broken down into eight easy-to-understand steps. Join us for this webinar series to hear guidance from Microsoft, AudioCodes and a number of guest speakers that have made the transformation from a "we've always done it this way" legacy environment to a cutting-edge, UC-enabled business on the move.
