Wait! Major Considerations When Migrating from Mitel to RingCentral

With Mitel’s new partnership with RingCentralTM, Mitel cloud customers can easily upgrade to a world-class UCaaS cloud solution – RingCentral MVPTM. RingCentral MVP offers advanced messaging, video and telephony in one integrated app, 99.999% reliability, a global footprint, realtime analytics and integrations with your business apps. By moving to RingCentral MVP through Mitel, you can take advantage of a unique migration experience and benefit from:

• Lucrative limited-time incentives 
• The ability to replicate your current Mitel cloud configuration on RingCentral MVP
• Protecting your investment by reusing your current Mitel phones* on RingCentral MVP 
• Saving migration time by 75% and up to $35K** in potential migration costs

You need to consider penalties for getting out of your current contract, new user subscription pricing, replacing your existing desk phones, migration time, and associated costs. Any migration of a communications system requires the completion of five primary deployment steps:

1. Information gathering 
2. Design and provisioning 
3. Deployment 
4. Acceptance testing 
5. Training

Information gathering establishes the existing to-future-state mapping of your communication system. It is critical to ensure the current system behavior is understood so that the new system can be configured properly. This can take days or potentially weeks’ worth of effort to manually consolidate this information.

Mitel provides migrating customers with a Migration Assist Package (MAP). The MAP takes the guesswork out of understanding how to replicate the configuration and behavior of a customer’s current Mitel communications solution. The MAP saves the customer days or potentially weeks’ worth of effort in capturing the information.  

The graphic summarizes the time savings through these phases of migration when moving to a competing system compared to upgrading from Mitel to RingCentral MVP.

The Mitel to RingCentral migration experience delivers time savings of 75% or a factor of 4-time savings compared to the manual migration involved with competing solutions. This time savings, along with associated cost savings from lucrative limited-time Mitel incentives, like waiving early termination fees, can result in savings of up to $35K in potential migration costs. These time and cost savings are simply not possible if migrating to a competing system

You must minimize any business disruption and ensure a simple and seamless migration process. At no time can you afford system downtime during the migration, nor can you afford to dedicate precious IT resources to spend days and weeks trying to install, configure, and optimize your unique communication system needs.

To ensure your upgrade experience is as smooth as possible, Mitel and RingCentral have made significant investments to enable Mitel customers to upgrade with confidence and peace of mind. Below illustrates the Mitel to RingCentral Migration experience.
