Need something to help you with Planning, Operations, Communications, & Training/Readiness around your upcoming Microsoft Lync rollout?
Introducing the the Lync Pilot Success Kit.
The key to a successful Lync rollout and on-going user-adoption is a well planned and executed pilot. The importance of the pilot phase cannot be overlooked. The Lync Pilot Success Kit is a collection of tools, documentation, and templates that helps project teams plan, deploy, monitor, and evaluate the success of their pilot. The Lync Pilot Success Kit assists with project planning, staffing needs and expectations, user communications, defining success criteria, and proactive monitoring, troubleshooting, and support.

We are excited to announce the release of the Lync Pilot Success Kit (PSK).
Experience with organizations deploying Lync has shown significant higher user-satisfaction when a successful pilot has been run. In order to know if an organization is prepared for a broad roll-out, success criteria must be defined, measured and evaluated. The PSK will help organizations to not only do this, but will provide the tools, documentation and templates to help plan and complete the pilot. All resources were created to be customized by organizations based on workloads deployed and organizational culture.
