Specifications include, but are not limited to: 1. Currently, Technology Services (TS) utilizes communication servers and software from Unify Communications (Atos) to support an Enterprise Network solution that is used in all County buildings and offices. The Enterprise Telecommunications Network utilizes Unify (Atos) servers that provide a state of the art, best in class hybrid approach for communications in the County. TS is able to deploy TDM, IP or SIP technology that best suits a particular situation or business need, saving taxpayer dollars while providing an integrated, seamless user experience. The software updates to existing platforms are far less costly than replacing the entire Enterprise Telecommunications Network and fall within budget parameters. Moreover, TS personnel are manufacturer trained and certified on all Unify (Atos) equipment and software. This saves County users and Departments time and money, which in turn saves Taxpayer dollars, as TS is able to respond immediately to requests with expert level service. There is no budget to re-train County service personnel on a new communications platform. For these reasons and others, TS is requesting this brand specification to support the upcoming RFP to upgrade these Voice Servers as needed to keep them operating and comply with obligations under the maintenance and support agreement.
