Nortel CS1000 Migration
Many businesses are struggling with how to extend the value of their significant investments in legacy Nortel CS1000 platforms. Maintenance contract costs are escalating but their Nortel PBX isn’t getting new capabilities. Ribbon's Nortel heritage creates unique options to leverage existing CS1000 investments, such as legacy Nortel IP or analog phones. Don't start over, gracefully move forward, give employees the productivity and mobility tools they need to engage with customers and partners. Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a fully supported solution and a fully committed product roadmap that extends investments for years to come with new capabilities like WebRTC-enabled contact center services.
Migrating Away from Meridian Phone Systems
Deploy a Ribbon solution on-premises or move to the cloud. Gradually migrate legacy CS1000 deployments to the new system, avoiding forklift upgrades. Start by creating a centralized session manager for multiple CS 1000s or other PBXs and then migrate users to a full UC suite. Give workers a consistent set of traditional communications capabilities plus new features like video, HD VoIP, audio/video conferencing and screen-sharing––from home, office or even the road.
