Prognosis UC Assessor eases migration to Skype
for Business Online
IR, the leading global provider of experience management
solutions for unified communications and contact centers, today
announced the general availability of the IR Prognosis UC Assessor,
a new network assessment solution optimized for Microsoft Skype for
Business Online in Office 365. Prognosis UC Assessor is also the
first network assessment solution certified by Microsoft for Skype
for Business Online as part of the IT Pro Tools Partner Program.
This tool can be used in conjunction with the new Skype Operations
Framework.
Network quality and connectivity to the cloud is critical when
planning and implementing a modern Skype for Business deployment
leveraging the Office 365 cloud. Prognosis UC Assessor helps ensure
a positive user experience of voice, video, and application sharing
across the LAN/WAN and all the way up to Skype for Business Online
in Office 365, before users are migrated to the new UC solution. UC
Assessor will identify network quality and performance levels
according to Skype for Business minimum requirements, and will help
troubleshoot and remediate identified problem areas across the
entire network path.
Because it is a software-based solution without the need for
network probes, Prognosis UC Assessor deployment is fast,
generating insights from multiple sites across your environment
within minutes after installation.
Earlier this year IR was named as a Gartner Cool Vendor for its
innovative and unique method to deliver visibility specifically
into Microsoft Skype for Business voice calls, with readiness to
provide the same insight for Microsoft Skype for Business
Online.
“Empowering employees with the latest advancements in UC
technology is a key step in the digital transformation of a
business, but a difficult UC deployment can get in the way of
successful user adoption,” said Darc Rasmussen, Managing Director
and Chief Executive Officer, IR. “When Prognosis UC Assessor is
used throughout planning, deployment, migration, and ongoing
operations, it provides a comprehensive, integrated, end-to-end
assessment and troubleshooting solution for customers migrating to
Skype for Business cloud, hybrid, and on-premises. This ensures a
clear pathway to maximize the benefits that game-changing
communication and collaboration tools like Skype for Business can
provide to an organization.”
Prognosis UC Assessor is available in two versions, Essentials
edition for assessment and testing of the current and expected
network performance; and Advanced edition for network
troubleshooting and analysis of identified problem areas, as well
as site-to-site testing for premises and hybrid deployment
models.
Prognosis UC Assessor is now available through select authorized
IR partners. Interested partners and customers are encouraged to

assessment solution at

IR is also exhibiting Prognosis UC Assessor in booth #2348 at
