[cisco-voip] OT: Installation cost

[Haas, Neal]

I don't know about costs, for this installation 1 Pub and 2 subs is all you need with 5200 phones, 3 subs would be over kill. Get 2 Unity Servers. 

With CUCI-MOC you will uninstall this in 90 days or less, We did a soft rollout of about 200 Computers, Most (90%) or more uninstalled it within days of being installed on the computers (Personally I loved CUCI-MOC never had 1 issue) they said it slowed their computers down by 20%, 1 person had to reboot 3 times a day. Wait for the new version to come out, before doing CUCI-MOC. Right now there are 0 installs of CUCI-MOC.

Our Pilot was 200 - 7965 phones, went smooth. We did not talk about what the features that people wanted, so did some hand holding on that. Ask people what they expect from the VoIP phones first and build it into the system, ie transfer directly to Voicemail without ringing the phone...

Watch out for the VG224's in version 8 I have been told that they use licensing now (or more....). We use them under 7.1.3... for Emergency response dial out gateways. Kind of pricy - if it were me I think that I would do 7911 phones or a 3rd party SIP - but price it out first. If you want voicemail on those, I don't think that you will get a red light.

UCCX is coming soon to me !!!!!!

I know this is a very generic question, but does anyone have a ballpark range (or percentage of HW cost) of installation costs for a VoIP install? We are definitely going to bid out the project, but if installation services are over "X" amount, we have to jump through some additional hoops. We have a rough estimate of what the cost will be for the hardware based upon our usual discount off list.

The project would essentially consist of:

Phase 1 - VoIP core and Pilot:

Installation / configuration of CUCM (Qty 4: 1 pub, 3 subs) Installation, configuration, integration of Unity Connections Installation of Presence Setup UCCX (~300 agents) Integration of Office Communicator through CUCI-MOC Integration with existing NEC IMX PBX Configuration of four ISR G2 VGs Installation of ~300 phones (in pilot) Installation, configuration of Emergency Responder Initial setup and testing of VG224s


Phase 2 - Remaining campus cutover

~3500 phones
Phased cut-over based upon building (non-contiguous dial plan in buildings)
~1000 analog lines (terminated in four different locations) with use of VG224s


This would be a single-site deployment, with a fairly homogeneous feature-set across phones (except for a few small groups requiring ACD & intercoms).


Thanks in advance for taking the time to respond. Hopefully, the OT post doesn't 
offend anyone :-)

Take care.
