CUCM TO LYNC 2013 TRANSFORMATION

Transformation CUCM to Lync 2013

CUCM is one of the expensive product for enterprise voice, IT Managers are looking for options to cut cost as they have Lync is running in their environment. The Lync is one of the viable solution for that and Unified communication is very popular to collaborate with.

I got an opportunity to work on the project where customer requirement is to migrate CUCM to Lync 2013. But why on Lync 2013 ?? weried to hear Lync is something which is N-3 from current Skype for business version. But, yes the plan was to migrate off CUCM and move everything to Lync 2013 and then move to Skype for business online + Enterprise voice capability.
