Over and over at The UC Buyer we have heard that one of the biggest risks to Cloud-based UC is a corporate network that is not up for the job.  In this detailed podcast with Stephen Farkough, the Vice President of Information Systems at UCaaS solution provider Broadview Networks, we discuss the network challenges that businesses face when deploying UCaaS and what they can do to prevent them.

 

We talk about  jitter and latency and their causes including router configurations, firewall setup and bandwidth.  We also dive into their new solution allows their channel partners to perform in-depth, long-term pre-test of a company's network readiness that identifies any issues so they can be addressed before pulling the trigger on UCaaS deployment.  If you're considering cloud-UC, you definitely should take a listen.

If you're considering UCaaS or are interested in where the market is headed, this is a must listen.
