Is it easy to implement cloud-based UC? What are the first steps?

The steps are: audit, plan, execute. Implementing cloud-based UC is easier today than ever. But you need to understand what a business needs to accomplish with its UC deployment -- not just now, but in the future. How can UC be an integral part of the company's growth? Ask yourself: What systems will be affected by the implementation of UC? How does it affect hiring plans, resource allocation and ultimately ROI? 

Channel partners who take the time to do an extensive audit of needs, current products and opportunities for ROI and business growth will be the most successful as they implement UC with their customers.
