Service Description

Services OverviewCloudUCX is a collection of cloud solutions delivered as a service which enhance the standard Microsoft Teams offering by adding enterprise telephony - connecting Microsoft Teams to the public switch telephony network (PSTN). It allows businesses to leverage Microsoft Teams to make and receive external calls without the need for Microsoft Calling Plans or on-premise equipment. All Cloud UCX services are designed to help organisations get the most out of MS Teams and deliver:

Enterprise-grade technology

Fast on-boarding and ROI

Better value and choice of calling plans

Flexibility and integration

Resilience and reliability

Global reach and scale

Cloud aggregation and simplification

These services can be provided on 36-month contract terms with an optional extension of 2 x 12 months.

This service is delivered by Exactive, a Gamma company.

Platform

CloudUCX is a fully resilient service that is based on AudioCodes Cloud Edition virtual Session Border Controllers hosted in AWS. Cloud Edition offers increased high availability and scalability and flexibility for tenants. Having the AudioCodes Cloud Edition highly available clusters in place means that multiple components can fail within a single cluster without impact to the service. The highly available solution is located in AWS UK government compliant datacentres (in London and Ireland).

Encryption

Traffic is encrypted between endpoints using a combination of HTTPS, SRTP and S-SIP with AES-128bit level encryption with TLS1.2. The encryption that applies depends on the type of traffic and call flow, but all calls up to the PSTN via the Direct Routing SBCs is encrypted and secure. Once connected to the PSTN, only the PSTN leg is unencrypted as is standard on any PSTN connection for any solution.

CloudUCX

The CloudUCX service type offers the most resiliency and cost efficiency compared to other service types due to its resilient and scalable architecture that multiple Teams tenants can share.

The service is designed for Teams tenants that require Teams telephony functionality like inbound/outbound PSTN calling to UK and international locations, routing of DDIs to Auto Attendants and Call Queues and all built in Teams calling capabilities. This service supports migration scenarios with the ability to integrate with an on-premise PBX via our PBX Integration bolt-on.

A single customer with multiple international office locations can take advantage of localised calling within their own country at local rates.

CloudUCX Enhanced

CloudUCX Enhanced is the most flexible hosted option available. This service type is for customers who require the ability to; terminate their own SIP trunk(s), or Session Border Controller, or need the ability to register generic SIP phones to the platform.

CloudUCX Hybrid

For situations that still require an on-premise SBC such as device registration or PBX integration that do not support Cloud based SBCs or NAT traversal, CloudUCX Hybrid is available as managed option.

Risks

The project/delivery manager will consider risks particular to the customer’s scenario upon engagement, however typical risks for the delivery of these services might include:

Reference Description

R001 Insufficient access to the technical knowledge of the customer during the Design phase.

R002 Customer not being available and authorised to sign off the Design phase.

R003 Pre-requisites not being in place prior to the commencement of Deployment.

R004 Third party providers not being informed of the schedule dates and the dependency of the project on their delivery.

R005 Customer's Change processes impacting on timings and schedule dates.

Training

Our team will discuss training requirements during the initial engagement to produce a tailored package and recommendations for the customer’s specific needs.

The training options provide all the support customers will need to ensure the successful adoption of the hardware and systems to make the overall deployment a success.

The following training is included in the service as standard:

CloudUCX Training Portal – Our portal provides the ability for continued learning, training for new starters and learning about new functionality as and when it is released. It contains instructional videos and “how-to” guides which can be downloaded and embedded into the customer’s intranet or distributed internally. The portal is available to all users for the duration of the contract.

The following training options are available for an additional fee:

Administrator Training:

- Teams Masterclass – The target audience for Teams Masterclass is the “Key Decision Makers” and “Teams Administrators” managing and administering Microsoft Teams.

A full demo-focused session designed to show essential PowerShell scripts needed to manage Office 365 Groups and Microsoft Teams at scale, when to use which PowerShell commands and how to get started. There is an assumption of previous technical knowledge around PowerShell and basic Office 365 Principles.

The session is an instructor-led course that covers a wide range of topics and how to configure them in Microsoft Teams. It includes:

Automation Auditing

Brief the IT Admin – A session with your technical administrators to run through ‘business as usual’ activities and management platform for the new UC estate. The typical agenda will include:

- Policies- Assigning / unassigning licenses- Enabling and removing users- Replication in O365 when enabling users - User call history – drill into devices - Moving numbers- Example of how to set up call queue- Example of how to set up auto attendant

Train the Trainer – Designed for organisations that have an existing investment in a training team or have “super users” tasked to deliver Office365 and Microsoft Teams training; this session can help prepare them. An expert trainer from Gamma will work with your trainer or superuser to enable them to effectively train the rest of the users. Gamma will make sure they fully understand the new system, help with the creation of their internal materials, or they can use our training materials from our training and adoption portal.

End-User Training:

- Receptionist/PA Training – Session with the receptionist or PA on call handling and customer overview for their working situation.

- Classroom-based Training – This classroom-based training session can be provided for an immersive, hands-on training experience. Gamma usually delivers this in classes of around 12 people, 3 classes per day for maximum impact but this can be tailored to suit the customer’s needs. Experience has shown us that this training is best scheduled around the delivery of the new solution so that the user receives training just before they are enabled on the new system. Our project coordinators work with the customers to schedule the project and the migration and make sure this is well-planned

- Floor Walkers – Our trainer(s) onsite for ‘go-live’ date to assist with transition and answer any end-user queries in person. Gamma always recommend 'Floor-walkers' be available at the customer office locations on the key migration dates. During Floor Walking the Trainer(s) will spend time literally walking the floor, responding to individual queries, problems, tasks and work-related issues from members of the customer’s staff. They are there to capture any teething problems and to make sure all the users are comfortable with the new system; they know how to use the key functions and know where to go for help in future.

Adoption Program (Lite) – 4 individual workshops covering:

- Workforce Analysis and Communications Plan- Sponsorship Roadmap and Coaching Plan- Resistance Management and Change Network- Adoption Measurement and Training Plan

Adoption Program (Full) – Full adoption program run by qualified Prosci practitioner (Change Management Specialist), consisting of 10 workshops run over the engagement duration.

Service & SupportThe service is provided as fully managed with Gamma (through Exactive) undertaking all service and support relating to the delivery of the end-to-end service.

The Gamma Service Desk will provide the customer with access to support for Gamma provided services, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Support Contacts are defined as:

Phone: 0845

Email: [email protected]

Web: portal.exactive.co.uk

Incident Management

Incidents will be tracked and managed by Gamma’s Service Desk on our incident management system (IMS). The level of support provided is subject to Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and the severity of the incident. The severity level is assigned when the call is logged by our Service Desk, based on the impact of the incident on the customer’s business.

For automatically generated incidents created by Gamma’s monitoring platforms, the severity level is automatically assigned based on the service type and pre-agreed business impact.

The frequency of updates that Gamma provides the customer on the progress of the incident will vary based on its severity, each update will be communicated by email/telephone to the nominated contact(s) and can also be accessed via our customer portal.

If an incident cannot be resolved at its current level within defined times, the incident is escalated to the next technical level until resolved. Incidents approaching SLA limits are prioritised with appropriate levels of management made aware to assist with identifying resources and creating additional focus to resolve the incident. Where it is likely Gamma will breach its SLA, customers are contacted to agree a remediation plan that may involve temporary or alternative solutions.

During a service level breach, subject to severity and impact, Gamma may appoint an incident manager who will additionally update the customer at pre-agreed intervals.

Gamma monitors its performance by reference to the service level for the applicable service and where a managed service has been purchased, Gamma will produce a monthly service report detailing the previous service period's performance against the KPIs. The report will be available for the customer by Working Day ten after the end of the relevant month and will be discussed at the Service Review.

Service Level Agreement

Resolution Targets

All CloudUCX subscriptions include mandatory support that covers issues that are direct result of degraded performance of the service including:

Suboptimal call quality issues.

Issues making inbound and/or outbound PSTN calls.

Issues which are deemed by Gamma to be the result of matters outside of Gamma's direct control are not covered by CloudUCX support.

CloudUCX support comprises of proactive and reactive elements depending on the severity of the issue. Issues covered under proactive monitoring are actioned by Gamma's support engineers as soon as they are identified. Issues classed as reactive must reported by the customer.

Priority Level

Description Target Response Time

Target time to Resolve

1 Major System Impact – Impact on communications is high. There is a loss of service that impacts all users. (e.g. the service is unavailable, and no users can make or receive calls).

30 Minutes Response 4 Hours – target time to implement a ‘Solution’ from the time of the customer reporting the Fault.

2 Moderate System Impact – Impact on communications is moderate but isolated to a single element of the service or a subset of users.

1 Hour Response 3 working days – target time to implement a ‘Solution’ from the time of the customer reporting the fault.

3 Minor System Impact – Impact on communications is minimal. Service is available but an individual user is experiencing difficulties

3 Hour Response 7 working days – target time to implement a ‘Solution’ from the time on the customer reporting the fault

Availability

Availability is calculated as:

(Total number of minutes in the measurement period – Unplanned Downtime) x 100 Total number of minutes in the measurement period

The service availability SLA for the service is 99.9%.

Monitoring

The calling service is continually monitored using our One Voice Operations Centre (OVOC) for system status and call statistics by our support team. Additionally, proactive checks are implemented in the form of synthetic call transactions for inbound and outbound calls every 10 minutes. Failures and issues generate alerts to the CloudUCX support team who proactively address any issues.

Escalations

To assist in meeting our agreed service level targets and exceeding customer expectations Gamma has a primary and alternative escalation path used in problem resolution; the primary method is via Gamma’s Service Desk – where automatic escalations are implemented via our incident management lifecycle. If an incident cannot be resolved at its current level within defined times, the reported issue is escalated to the next technical level until resolution. Incidents approaching SLA limits are prioritised with appropriate levels of management made aware in order to assist with identifying resources and creating additional focus to resolve the incident within the agreed service level. A customer may escalate an incident at any time during the incident lifecycle when the customer is experiencing dissatisfaction with the support service being provided or the impact to the customer's business has increased – which can be undertaken electronically via the IMS or calling/emailing the Service Desk.

Should a customer have a concern with how an action is progressing, an alternative escalation point is via their dedicated Account Manager. This route is typically used when a customer simply requires wider visibility within Gamma or a low severity incident that is within service levels requires escalating due to the high level of business impact. If this escalation route does not result in the desired outcome, further contacts are detailed within the Customer Support Operation Manual which lists escalation levels to Gamma’s CEO.

Business ContinuityCloudUCX is a fully resilient service that is based on AudioCodes Cloud Edition virtual Session Border Controllers hosted in AWS. Cloud Edition offers increased high availability and scalability and flexibility for tenants. Having the AudioCodes Cloud Edition highly available clusters in place means that multiple components can fail within a single cluster without impact to the service. The highly available solution is located in AWS UK government compliant datacentres (in London and Ireland).

There are backup and restore procedures in place that allow for CloudUCX components such as SBCs and OVOC servers to be restored in the event of a disaster occurring, causing an outage of the CloudUCX Calling Service. There are three procedures that can be carried out to restore service, restore via OVOC, restore via SBC or restore AWS SBC instance.

Billing & InvoicingGamma will invoice the customer for one-off (non-recurring) charges and ongoing (recurring) charges on a monthly basis until termination of service.

Out-of-bundle call charges will be invoiced separately each month with detailed itemisation provided. The customer will also have access to a portal to retrieve invoices and itemisation information.

Cessation charges may apply.

Quality Standards & SecurityGamma is a Microsoft Gold Partner and is Cyber Essentials certified.

Appendix A - User DevicesEnd User Devices

Microsoft Teams can be used on mobile devices with apps for iOS, Android and Windows Phone. The phone integration and user experience is far superior than Skype for Business apps. As a Microsoft cloud solution, Teams links with Azure Active Directory and is managed via Office 365 for single sign-on and telephone directory access. It provides presence, availability and contact information similar to Skype for Business. This is also shown in the Office apps allowing users to choose the best contact method.

Headsets

Users have the flexibility to use Teams approved headsets or handsets (as well as mobile devices) which suit their role. Our recommended providers include Poly and Yealink. Yealink have a range of Wired and Wireless Bluetooth devices that provide high quality audio and comfort. Although other devices will work with Microsoft Teams, like headsets and USB cameras, quality cannot be guaranteed unless they are approved by Microsoft.

See the following link for Microsoft enabled devices.
