Plan the Solution - Lync

Help your customer define their organizational needs, identify goals for their IT infrastructure, and design a customized Lync deployment solution. This page includes all L&EDPS engagement materials, resources and guidance for the L&EDPS offerings to plan a Lync implementation.

The outcome of this engagement is supporting documentation for the customer to develop a custom Lync deployment activities plan. This plan may include a conceptual design, conceptual migration strategy, risk assessment, and/or high-level vision/scope document. If your scope of work includes an Architectural Design Analysis, the customer will also receive a design gap analysis of their Lync deployment plan.
