COST ANALYTICS IN UC NETWORKS
Planning and Next Steps
Cost analytics takes a strategic, ongoing, and proactive approach to reducing operating costs, which enables the CIO to release funds for investment in priority projects, modern work, and initiatives that are aligned with business outcomes.
This release of funds can originate from one of three areas: Reducing costs and optimizing the usage of assets ▪ Rationalizing and consolidating legacy platforms ▪ Renegotiating better deals when contracts come up for renewal ▪
Don't miss the bigger picture: A non-strategic approach to cost cutting will inevitably deliver disappointing results whilst impacting user experience and performance.
Your UC network provides a detailed footprint in terms of how employees are collaborating and working. A cost analytics solution will consume this date and relate it to inventory, configuration, adoption, and capacity.
Analytics will then provide snapshots and trends over time, leading to actionable information and insight around the major cost elements:
Users, work styles, and licensing ▪ Ghost and low mileage devices ▪ Facilities and locations – including meeting rooms ▪
Legacy communication platforms ▪ Efficiency gains through automation ▪
These actions can then move you towards your strategic goals: Reducing expenditure, optimizing the usage of assets, and reinvesting towards modern work platforms and business outcomes.
