Director of Information System 
UMG/Del Medical, Inc.
The problem 
U.M.G. Inc. acquired Del Medical Imaging in November 2009 
• The company more than doubled in size from the acquisition and there was an immediate need to 
facilitate quick, clear and secure communication between dispersed offices. 
• The need to have home office employees (especially Sales team members) the freedom to work 
remotely as if they were in an office was key to our success. 
• Determine how to leverage heavy investment in phone system handsets; compatibility with existing 
phones was critical.

SEGMENT 4: 
Joe DiCristofano 
Director of Information System 
UMG/Del Medical, Inc.
Why cloud? 
• Cost—flexibility in pricing was a big factor in evaluating a cloud solution. 
• Ease of administration—the solution needed to be easy to administer without adding headcount for 
phone system maintenance. 
• Management portal accessibility—manage from any Internet location. 
• Ability for control—move, add, changes on the fly.

Several hosted vendors were considered including

before zeroing in on ShoreTel Sky. 
• The feature sets we wanted weren’t available with the solutions offered by the other vendors.

  • 7. Brief Speaker Bios: Danny Mizrahi Danny Mizrahi is the Founder and CEO of Contango IT. He started his professional career at age 14, as a runner on the NY Mercantile Exchange. Each summer thereafter, Danny spent working at technology companies, learning from the best and expanding his technical and business foundation. After 4 years at the University of Maryland, College Park and founding/running two successful startups, Danny came back to New York to be the Director of Sales and Marketing for an established IT Consulting Company.

  • 50. The problem U.M.G. Inc. acquired Del Medical Imaging in November 2009 • The company more than doubled in size from the acquisition and there was an immediate need to facilitate quick, clear and secure communication between dispersed offices. • The need to have home office employees (especially Sales team members) the freedom to work remotely as if they were in an office was key to our success. • Determine how to leverage heavy investment in phone system handsets; compatibility with existing phones was critical. 50 November 18, 2014 SEGMENT 4: Joe DiCristofano Director of Information System UMG/Del Medical, Inc.
  • 51. Why cloud? • Cost—flexibility in pricing was a big factor in evaluating a cloud solution. • Ease of administration—the solution needed to be easy to administer without adding headcount for phone system maintenance. • Management portal accessibility—manage from any Internet location. • Ability for control—move, add, changes on the fly. 51 November 18, 2014 SEGMENT 4: Joe DiCristofano Director of Information System UMG/Del Medical, Inc.

  1. The workplace is changing… Mobile isn’t a trend, it’s a new reality – and companies need to provide support for employees to embrace mobile in the workforce. Employees no longer keep office hours and prefer to complete tasks on the road and from home. People need access to knowledge from anywhere from any device based on their choice.
  2. Here are some interesting stats on mobile usage and trends. On average mobile workers are working 25% more every week (Source: The iPass Global Mobile Workforce Report, May-2012) 72% of mobile employees today have a tablet… up 32% from Q2 2011 (Source: The iPass Global Mobile Workforce Report - Q2 2012, May-2012) The average number of devices carried by a mobile worker has grown to 3.5, up from 2.7 in 2011. (Source: The iPass Global Mobile Workforce Report, March-2012) Tablets and smartphones have become an extension of people over the years. People expect and desire the use of their own devices while at home and the workplace. Provide and empower employees to access company resources through those devices. There is a shift from traditional communication towards multimedia, or more interactive audio and video, which can provide a higher return on investment through increased customer satisfaction and reduced support-related calls. How will you shape your organizational communications to support these demands? How does your phone system integrate with other systems to provide business intelligence that help drive decisions?
  3. Let’s talk about a few of the cloud business drivers to determine if now is the right time for you to consider a move to the cloud. Cloud solutions can help provide a predictable model for businesses Cloud solutions are Elastic and flexible can grow and contract per needs of the business Cloud solutions can be deployed rapidly and fast and increases time to market. Cloud based solutions are able to give reporting of how business runs by integrating key business applications These are just a few of the business benefits of choosing a cloud based communications service.
  4. In your decision to move to the cloud, It’s important to choose the vendor that will help deliver your desired business benefits. What are your pain points? reliability, quality, flexibility and business continuity. Not only is your vendor choice key, you must work together with them to implement best practices for voice.
  5. Now that we have reviewed a few of the business drivers and important requirements in a cloud provider, Let’s go over 5 signs you are ready upgrade your phone system.
  6. Is your phone system a mission critical part of your business? Are your phones reliable? How is the quality? What is your disaster recovery plan?
  7. Fully Managed Always up-to-date, automatic ShoreTel’s Trust – Do your IT resources spend their time managing your phones or are they freed up for strategic projects geared to your business needs? Can you add new licenses and services quickly and without scale limitations? Do software upgrades happen automatically? Do your employees contact the vendor to troubleshoot phone issues? This paradigm shift is putting tremendous pressure on IT workers and creating new challenges and opportunities IT Departments are being asked to support an ever increasing number of devices including PC and MAC iPhones, Androids, other smart phones Now tablets as well The pace of technology change is accelerating. Some are predicting that technology will change more in the next 18 months than it has in the last 10 years! The role of IT is shifting from being a gate keeper to a productivity enabler – giving employees the tools and capabilities to operate more productively, communicate and collaborate more effectively, and allowing users to be self reliant thus reducing their demands on IT resources. Last, IT needs solutions that are easy and flexible in order to respond to today’s ever changing business climate. They need to support the demands and configurations of today and tomorrow. Transition talk on same slide IT organizations are being forced to fundamentally alter the way they staff, plan and manage their enterprise IT infrastructure. They are being asked to do more without adding additional budget to accomplish this feat. They are being asked “How well are you aligned with the business units that drive or maintain revenue?”. This is forcing them to focus more on strategic initiatives and less day-to-day maintenance of infrastructure.
  8. Is your phone system integrated with core applications? Does your phone system contribute to business intelligence? Does your phone system help your employees be more productive? Is your phone system a powerful tool for training & coaching employees? CRM, ATS Call metrics, customer support Sales reps Whisper & Barge
  9. Mobility & UCaaS Mobility – with the adoption of BYOD, more and more mobile deployments will continue to happen enabling UC through multiple devices Rich UC suite – availability of more apps from the cloud will enable greater deployment of UC business suites with web and video conferencing in addition to unified messaging and VOIP as well as key CRM integrations Video Integration – HD video integration into UC will continue to grow as more and more companies rely on video based devices and conferencing systems to communicate across different geographies and sites
  10. Does your phone system adjust to seasonality, growth spurts, business downturns etc.? Pay As You Grow Do you want to rent or buy? The capex to opex trend to IT investments
  11. So lets take a few minutes to talk about the ShoreTel Sky cloud delivery model and how it can deliver superior reliability, quality, flexibility and business continuity
  12. At the heart of the ShoreTel Sky solution is the Call Conductor. Call Conductor is ShoreTel Sky’s proprietary soft switch. It was built in the cloud for the highest reliability unlike most of our competitors who rely on a 3rd party soft switch like Broadsoft or Asterisk. We own our technology and can adapt as needed to respond quickly to changes in the market. We have the freedom to develop products that meet the needs of our distinctive customers. Another technology differentiator is our geographic redundancy strategy. Every part of our core infrastructure is redundant. Good cloud prospects have these “customer personas”: 30+ people, multiple locations and/or remote workforce in USA Puts a premium on sales and services and considers phones critical to the business Believes what is measured, improves Uses some sort of cloud application in their business today Doesn’t want to own the infrastructure and manage it Wants to buy only what they need, when they need it, in a way that is consistent and easy to use NOTE: The ShoreTel Sky cloud offering is currently only available in the USA. Sky expansion to other geographical regions is coming in the future.
  13. UC is not “unified” unless the phones are unified with the business systems” We believe that the phone system is a sales, service, and marketing force multiplier
  14. Commercial Integrations and APIs integrate ShoreTel with business systems and applications CRM / ERP Salesforce, NetSuite, Dynamics Vertical Applications Legal, Education, Insurance, Staffing Home Grown / Other Innovation Network, Home grown
  15. We are ideal for verticals
  16. APIs allow customers to build home grown Cloud business apps
  17. Offices needed ‘like’ configurations and had to be communicating quickly Users were able to sit at any desk & log into their own phone line Investment in Cisco 7900 series VoIP phones was heavy and needed to be maintained Phones (even softphones now) could be brought home and used for SOHO
  18. Cost is key with an acquisition; contractual obligations have to be made carefully Number of choices and available packages (terms) Ability of Acct. Rep. to work with us Updates/upgrades in the cloud – managed facility Talk of MACD’s; portal access In being a small company, employee actions/changes are magnified
  19. Demo’d phones, systems and portals Many mis-matched solutions Skype, Phone.com 3CX – software based VoIP PBX
  20. Clarity improvements – uptime improvements!! ShoreTel Sky Portal = ease of management. Support is good! Call routing and flow to mobile devices Upgrades & feature sets; more choices available Ability to “bring our employees up and online” ASAP (or move offices) DR & HA – cluster switching and geo
