Your organization’s journey to the Webex cloud can be at your own pace and achieved in manageable stages. You can continue to get maximum value from your on-premise investments and still tap into the value of the cloud with a hybrid solution.
Cisco is with you every step of the way! We’ll help you remove barriers and simplify the process. Don’t get lost. Talk to your Cisco representative or partner today.
We have clearly identified Cisco Collaboration on-premises workloads and their counterparts in the cloud so that you can choose which to transition and when.
<< This block is not needed>> In this eBook, we show the implications of transitioning each workload and the steps required.
This allows you to make an informed and managed choice about your pathway to the Cisco cloud.
But before we do, let’s level set and look at the basics.
The transition to the cloud is designed to address fragmented work-styles, reduce IT complexity, and ultimately save money for your organization.
Access to newest features, improved user experiences and integrations, the latest and greatest functionalities for modern workspaces.
Reduce the total cost of ownership and get a higher return on investment, reduced management overhead, and less on-premises equipment maintenance.
Increase scale and redundancy due to elastic compute and distributed data centers native to cloud-based services.
Access to the latest features and functions and up to date fixes for issues and vulnerabilities, all without significant maintenance windows.
Global backbone, Enterprise secure
Highly scalable, highly secure, highly available, highly redundant.
Full UCaaS suite, with deep analytics.
Integrates Calling, Messaging, Meetings, and Devices.
Integrated cognitive collaboration (AI/ML) experiences.
Increased productivity and efficiency by having certain tasks driven by AI.
Single pane of glass management.

Deploy at speed.
Instant global reach: 65 countries for cloud calling. 195 countries for cloud-based meetings.
On-premises deployments are those in which all collaboration infrastructure, applications, and services are deployed and managed on the customer's premises.
Hybrid deployments are those in which collaboration infrastructure, applications, and services are deployed and delivered from both the cloud and the customer's premises.
Cloud services are delivered over the Internet, while on-premises services are delivered from within the organization’s private network.
These deployments generally encompass integration between the cloud provided services and on-premises components.
Cloud deployments are those in which collaboration applications and services are delivered over the Internet from one or more cloud-based data centers.
How do you move collaboration workloads from on-premises to the Cloud? Well, it’s important to know how to get from where you are today... to where you want to be.
Collaboration Transitions map discrete and separate pathways for moving each of the collaboration workloads. Ultimately, these options are about transitioning existing collaboration deployments to the latest Cisco products and solutions whether On-premises, Hybrid, or Cloud.
Collaboration Transitions are a new type of prescriptive, validated deployment model building on the existing Collaboration Preferred Architectures (PA).
We have produced a framework of documentation to guide each Collaboration Transition. Each transition has a set of three related resources:
A brief document illustrating the recommended steps for transitioning from an existing collaboration deployment to the latest products and solutions.
Provides technical background as well as deployment steps and considerations for the transition from existing products and solutions to newer versions.
Existing content updated as required, including on-premises hybrid PA documents and Cisco Live sessions.
One easy purchasing plan for all your collaboration needs. Get cloud, on-premises, and hosted collaboration in a user-based subscription. You can buy meeting, team collaboration, calling, and contact center services for all employees, or simply purchase what you need today and grow at your own pace. With the Flex Plan, one agreement includes software, upgrades, and support.
