Description
My client in Oslo, Norway is looking for a Unified Communications Architect to join their project.
Role Description
The consultant shall work out a coherent, global roadmap for Unified Communications (UC) for Client, including communication channels for text, voice and video.
The starting point is that we already have a global infrastructure and service for Video Conferencing (using Office365:Skype for Business, Teams + a global service from Kinly) and for text (using Office365: Skype for Business, Teams, Yammer and more). But we don't have telephony integration into the above mentioned tools. Telephony solutions are local (at the Client sites) and many different ones. Several sites are in an urgent need for replacing their existing telephony solution(s), and thus there is an urgency for this roadmap to be created. We (Client IT, central and global IT organization in Client) do not want our sites to implement local solutions for the future if it is better to think globally, integrating telephony with UC.
The consultant will have to work out the roadmap with both a global architecture and an executable plan for implementation, not to actually execute on it (at least not in the first round). We are not starting from scratch (since we have solutions and services in place already), so we believe 2 months of work should be sufficient, cooperating closely with the Client IT expertise within the area. Client IT lacks the telephony part of the required competence, however, so it is important that the consultant covers this well, with extensive experience (in addition to experience with Unified Communications in large, global environments overall).
Description of Mandatory Fields
1. Architecture/Roadmap expertise and experience in Unified Communications
2. Architecture/Roadmap expertise and experience in corporate telephony
3. Sufficient network expertise for planning and creating the roadmap for Unified Communications
Location: Oslo, Norway
