UC migrating Centrex phones to VOIP

Over the next three years, UIT Unified Communications (UC) will be migrating from the legacy Centrex telephone system to the new Unified Communications Voice over IP (VOIP) system, also known as Skype for Business/Lync.

The University’s current Centrex contract is expiring, and the rate that the University pays for its legacy Centrex phone lines is expected to rise. By moving to a VOIP solution such as Skype for Business/Lync, UIT will be able to keep costs at a minimum. Skype for Business/Lync also provides new features, such as integration with calendar, web conferencing, and instant messaging. University Information Technology’s goal is to migrate 5,000 Centrex users to Skype for Business/Lync before the end of fiscal year (June 30, 2016), followed by 5,000 each for the next two fiscal years.
