Five Key OCS Provisioning Challenges

Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 (OCS) uses the power of software to streamline business communications with presence awareness, instant messaging, conferencing, and enterprise voice. Microsoft’s #1 initiative in 2010 is to raise awareness of the benefits – and to increase adoption – of OCS.

OCS delivers significant improvements to productivity and collaboration, but it can be complicated to implement and difficult to manage day-to-day. Most mid- to large-sized organizations will find it virtually impossible to handle ongoing provisioning requests manually through the native interface.

Ensim Corp has published a new white paper that describes five key OCS provisioning challenges and how Unify’s OCS Manager addresses each challenge. If you use OCS today, or if you are planning to implement OCS, you need to read this white paper.

Have you deployed, or are planning to deploy Microsoft OCS R2- If so, you should be using Ensim OCS Manager.

If you’ve deployed—or are planning to deploy—Microsoft OCS R2, your system administrators will face significant provisioning and administration challenges on a daily basis:

System security and data integrity will be compromised if system administrators delegate tasks to the help desk because every delegated administrator will have full administrative privileges—native tools only offer all-or-nothing access.

Ongoing user administration is time-consuming and labor-intensive because native interfaces do not support bulk updates to user configurations.
Standardization or enforcement of business processes is almost impossible without spending a lot of dollars to build complex code and logic.

Native interfaces provide little or no support for integration with existing identity management and maintenance systems.

Native interfaces do not allow system administrators to manage server pools automatically during the provisioning process. As a result, system administrators must manually track the number of users on a server pool to maintain any semblance of control over resource management.

Fortunately, we have a way for you to overcome these challenges.

Unify’s OCS Manager is a unique solution that offers secure delegation of administrative tasks; centralized control over who can do what in the environment; template-based user provisioning; detailed transaction logs for compliance and auditing; and more.

Contact us to learn how OCS Manager will save you money and protect the integrity of your OCS environment.
