Author: Nithin Eluvathingal

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have multiple division and branches across the country. We were initially using Avaya Ip office at our HQ which we replaced with Cisco Business Edition 6000 solution. Eventually, we replaced our branch offices PBX system with Cisco Business Edition 6000 Solutions. MRA is one of the major features which we rely on, which [helps us] save on our mobile bills. We call our colleagues through jabber.

Pros and Cons

Number of applications supported
Ease of Deployment with preinstalled applications
Perfect fit for organisation with users less than 1000

Dual Power Supply doesn't comes by default and which need to be ordered separately.

Return on Investment

MRA calling reduced our mobile bills between colleagues.
Interconnected cluster made our branch to branch calling free of cost.
Video calls reduced the cost of top management travel expense.

Support Rating

We have installed almost 7-9 boxed of Cisco Business Edition 6000. From hardware replacement to technical support is wonderful. When it comes to documentation, there are good collections of documents available for both installing and mating Cisco Business Edition 6000.

Likelihood to Recommend

For a scenario where number of users are less than 1000 and if you need fully UC features, its the best choice. The number of applications supported on the platform is more than enough to run all our UC applications. if the number of users is more than 1K, you need to think towards a platform like Business Edition 7000.
