In the ever-evolving world of technology, staying ahead of changes is crucial. The shift from traditional on-premises solutions to cloud-based platforms is one such change.
Mitel’s Strategic Move: What It Means for You
In a significant announcement on November 9, 2021, Mitel revealed plans to phase out the MiCloud Business/Connect platform in favor of a strategic alliance with RingCentral. This transition, culminating by June 30, 2024, marks a critical juncture for current MiCloud users.
Understanding the Impact
For businesses relying on MiCloud Business, this is a call to action. Exploring alternative telephony solutions now and building strategic migration plans is imperative.
To ensure a smooth and timely transition from MiCloud and alleviate the stress of this unexpected change, consider these steps:
- Start Planning: Begin your migration planning as soon as possible to avoid service interruptions. June 30, 2024, will arrive quickly!
- Explore Alternatives: RingCentral Message, Video, and Phone (MVP)™ is the recommended alternative by Mitel, offering features like advanced messaging, video meetings, telephony, and enterprise-grade reliability. However, several other options can be explored based on your needs.
- Seek Expert Guidance: We recommend booking a meeting with an Alchemy migration expert to ensure a smooth transition.
- Consider Hardware Compatibility: If you are using Mitel hardware, confirming compatibility with a new system is a significant consideration. For example, Mitel 6900 series phones are certified to work with RingCentral and other UCaaS Providers.
- Assess Financial Impact: Evaluate any financial implications of the migration, including potential promotions that might ease the transition. Some vendors offer discounts for customers needing to migrate off the MiCloud Business solution to help reduce unexpected expenses.
