Overview

This page details the supported vendors and capabilities for UCentric Voice Audit and Migration.

It is designed as a broad overview of capabilities and the types of data that can be captured. It is not intended to be a complete specification of each decoder and should be used as a general reference guide only.

Supported Audit Voice Platforms Features Matrix

Outputs

Migration Plan Export formats

The migration plan exporting allows blending of additional data (e.g. AD, CDR, DDI ranges etc.) and then export to either “Bulk loaders” or direct provisioning through a script, backup or direct “Orchestration”.

Additional Data Imports and Blending

When exporting data for the purposes of migration, additional data sources can be imported into UCentric to blend it with audit data. Supported additional datasets and formats are shown in this section

DDI number ranges / extension ranges

This data ensures DDI information is associated with a device, user, or extension. It can be used to highlight any issues a migration would encounter from users who have moved locations but retained their extension number. Hunt groups spanning multiple locations can also be identified with this information

Call Logging SMDR/CIL

This data allows for identification of any extensions or users that have no or little activity, and therefore may not need to be migrated.

Network MAC/IP captures (CDP/LLDP logs)

Network data allows for IP devices that have not been connected to the network to be identified which may then be considered as inactive or unused.

Active Directory/LDAP

An export from Active Directory or an LDAP server allows for the correct allocation of names against extension numbers where an integrated telephone directory is either unpopulated or inaccurate. Departmental information can also be associated against a user.

Voicemail Exports (Cisco Unity Included)

We can also blend in exports from Voicemail systems such as unity or 3^rd party voicemail if it contains a list of users with voicemail configured. This allows for identification of voicemail users in the LLD reports for replication on the hosted voice or system that is being migrated to.

Export Formats

Bulk Loaders

UCentric has the capability to export the audited data in several pre-defined export formats suitable for direct bulk-loading into client platforms.

Excel Spreadsheet

This is the standard format for export, which provides separate tabs for devices, profiles, hunt groups, pickup groups, and region information and allows blending and highlighting of usage and out-of-service, and the blending and transformation of data.

JSON

This provides the same data as the Excel output, but in JSON format suitable for consumption by orchestration platforms.

Custom formats

In addition to the above, there are several client-specific bulk export formats.

SPA (Zero Touch)

SPA, or “Zero Touch” refers to the “Single Page Application”, a simplified interface for Auditing and Provisioning within UCentric. This only functions with ‘PABX Backups’ and is indicated by the UCentric Zero Touch Logo (below) shown against the vendor name in the Backup Support sections of this document.

Direct orchestration

The “Direct Orchestration” provides the means to directly build or ‘Orchestrate’ the config of a new system though a script, a backup, or through direct API Orchestration

BroadWorks (Broadsoft)

With BroadWorks credentials, this can directly populate a Broadsoft/Cisco BroadWorks platform through their web API.

Microsoft Teams

Using the Graph API (expected Q2022) or PowerShell scriptlets, this automatically creates users, direct connect and presence groups.

BATS

Creates a v12.5 BATS backup that can be restored directly onto a Cisco CUCM / HCS solution

Skype PowerShell Script

This generates a script that can be locally executed on a private cloud / on-premise Skype-for-Business platform to create all the users, groups and direct connects.

EMU

With a direct connection into EMU (or EMU JSON format), this ultimately publishes to a Cisco BroadWorks platform through intermediate JSON.

8x8

Provides an 8x8 compatible spreadsheet that can be bulk loaded into the 8x8 platform

WebEx Calling

Creates a WebEx calling direct bulk loader

RingCentral

Direct API provisioning to the RingCentral cloud solution using SSO credentials

Unify XML

Creates an XML file compatible with the Unify OpenScape bulk loading process
