What This Means To Your CIO
The CIOs we work with are focused on saving money, adding efficiency to their organizations and extending the value and skillset of their employees. Azaleos Managed OCS Services can reduce the total cost of ownership for OCS environments while providing a predictable monthly cost. CIOs get an SLA on their environment that’s supported by a team of experts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for a fraction of the cost of doing it in-house. Azaleos’ skilled group of experts deliver on organizational requirements quickly and effectively. Azaleos Managed OCS Services enable CIOs to reallocate key IT skillsets and improve processes and systems for the business as a whole.

How Our Services Benefit Your IT Organization
The productivity increases promised by UC have driven nearly 60% of businesses into some form of UC trial. However, only 11% of these companies have completed their UC deployment due to challenges with strategic planning and per user/month maintenance costs.  With Azaleos Managed OCS Services, IT can deploy managed pilots or production environments using ViewX monitoring for quality assurance and testing on new OCS environments. 

Once deployed, OCS is different from Exchange and SharePoint in that it’s a true real-time/synchronous app. That means that when trying to monitor it, most problems won’t be reproducible. Monitoring needs to be proactive and precise. Synthetic transactions play a huge role where artificial calls, IM sessions and conferences are created on a VERY frequent basis.  All this must be done in such a way so that it doesn’t interfere with performance and with others using the system.  This is an entirely different approach to monitoring-users have a much lower threshold for what they will tolerate.  OCS needs to work like a telephone utility- we reflect this high standard in SLAs and our approach for how we manage the system. 

Our services integrate seamlessly with ticketing systems and internal IT processes. IT employees “get their lives back” by receiving 24x7x365 support and don’t have to spend nights and weekends on-call. With Azaleos, IT departments extend their skillsets around key messaging and collaboration applications.  Key resources can move beyond day-to-day reactive tactical tasks and focus on strategic tasks that help employees and lines of business be more productive. With Azaleos, IT organizations get more projects into production faster, focusing on development and not infrastructure or uptime issues.

How Our Services Benefit Your Company
Azaleos helps create more efficient IT departments that complete more projects. End users get better experiences with IM, presence, conferencing and telephony, becoming more productive. IT saves money and time on deployment, training and management. The business leverages key IT skillsets to gain competitive advantage through improved processes and systems.
