Customer: National Parcel Delivery Firm

NPDF are a logistics firm based in the United Kingdom specialising in the delivery of parcels to business and residential clients. Traditionally Yodel used a Cisco CUCM IP Telephony system for all their communications throughout their offices and delivery depots. Yodel attempted to roll out Jabber as a Unified Communications tool to improve corporate communication and speed up internal processes. However, after a short pilot they decided that Lync 2013 was a better option.

NPDF enlisted my help to deploy Lync 2013 into their network and integrate it with their Cisco IP telephony so that they could use Lync 2013 as a full Unified Communications tool including enterprise voice. This involved the following
