THE STACK

With Cisco Live right around the corner, the Stack8 development team has sprinted to the finish line with the delivery of Stack8 Moves, Adds, and Changes System (SMACS) Version 5 provisioning solution for Cisco UC.

This new release brings together all kinds of automation goodies with Active Directory while keeping the simplicity and user-friendliness SMACS users have come to know and love. 

Update:

Push Notifications are required both for Cisco Jabber for iPhone and iPad clients that connect from within the enterprise network as well as for clients that register to an on-premise deployment via Expressway's Mobile and Remote Access (MRA) feature. 

Faster, more powerful and simpler than ever SMACS 4.0 takes the guesswork out of UC provisioning

Montreal, CANADA, October 05, 2017 - Stack8, a leading provider of managed and professional services and proactive automation solutions for Cisco Unified Communications (UC), today announced the release of SMACS 4.0,  a complete redesign of its Stack8 Moves, Adds, and Changes System (SMACS) user provisioning tool. 

Depending on the type of organization you work for, your Unified Communications (UC) systems may be required to be PCI compliant. This is generally the case when credit card transactions are processed on the phone, as is the case in some customer service contact centers. The new release of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), version 3.2, introduces many significant changes that you should be made aware of. Although the changes in PCI DSS version 3.2 are vast, for this article, we will focus on the new aspects of the standard that directly affect UC systems, namely the migration from Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and early Transport Layer Security (TLS) versions.

Today’s blog post is a special one for us at Stack8. We are honored to be presenting a post written by a fellow UC expert Abhijit Bhowmick who graciously reached out and told us that he wanted to create the following article for everyone to read.

The Unified Communications (UC) landscape had been changing quite fast, as the interoperability of multiple standards has become more confusing. This poses serious business and technical decisions for the customer as to which way to move forward. Which vendor to go for, which type of solution to deploy?
