ZIRO Platform 10.1: Cisco to Teams Phone Migration Made Simple

Are you still paying twice for your Phone users and managing two systems?  

Maybe the promise of ROI has been lost due to the complexity of a telecom migration. Or your team is ready to migrate, but the lack of specialized expertise or bandwidth keeps delaying progress. 

Meanwhile, you’re tracking everything across spreadsheets that never stay in sync. Your IT team is overwhelmed, and users are frustrated with delays and confusion.  

But now, there’s a better way. 

What’s New with ZIRO Platform 10.1 

You may know the ZIRO Platform as a Day 2 support, reporting, automation and MACD tool, but we’ve built upon that base to bring a new Migration experience.  

In our ZIRO Platform 10.1 release, we continue to expand our feature set around migrations from legacy systems directly to Microsoft Teams, simplifying the most complicated parts of a telephony migration and saving our customers and partners time and money! 

Maybe the ROI promise that got everyone excited about Teams Phone has gotten buried under the reality of actually making the migration happen. Or your team is ready to migrate, but the lack of specialized expertise or bandwidth keeps delaying progress.  

Meanwhile, you’re tracking everything across Excel files that never stay in sync. Your IT team is overwhelmed, and users are frustrated with delays and confusion. But now, there’s a better way.  

With ZIRO Platform 10.1, you can migrate Cisco users directly to Teams Phone without spreadsheets and wasted time. 

Direct Cisco CUCM to Teams Phone Migration 

Do you still have users on your Cisco CUCM or are you considering the move to Teams Phone but don’t know what you don’t know?   

With a simple export of your Cisco configuration and Call Detail Records (CDR), ZIRO Platform can identify all of your users and their calling patterns. From there, you can press a button to move them as is, schedule your batches of users and sites for migration day, or review the users and the type of PSTN connectivity they need.

 With ZIRO Platform, you can lower your telecom costs for PSTN and stop paying for 2 licenses! Not on Cisco? That’s alright, we support other PBX systems with our ZIRO Platform as well, and through our ZIRO Microsoft Teams Voice Services.

Enhanced Bulk Provisioning Experience 

Do you need an engine to run your bulk provisioning tasks with the ability to stage multiple jobs across users, validate their licensing, set policies and assign phone numbers? The ZIRO Platform has you covered with improvements and features now added to our Bulk Provisioning module. 

The enhanced bulk provisioning capabilities give you: 

• Multi-job staging across different user groups and sites 
• Automated license validation before deployment 
• Policy assignment at scale with conflict detection 
• Phone number management with availability checking 

This means no more failed bulk operations due to licensing issues or number conflicts – everything gets validated before execution. 

PSTN Utilization Reports  

Are you trying to lower your PSTN spend?  

With the ZIRO Platform’s new PSTN Utilization Reports, you’ll have an easy way of evaluating PSTN usage across your estate and understanding things like which users aren’t receiving inbound calls who could move from dedicated phone numbers and calling plans to Microsoft Shared Calling. This allows you to save money while still complying with company or local requirements to provide Emergency or outbound dialing. 

These reports help you: 

• Identify users with low inbound call volume who could switch to shared calling 
• Analyze calling patterns across your organization 
• Optimize PSTN costs without losing functionality 
• Maintain compliance with emergency dialing requirements 

Why These Features Matter for IT Teams 

Faster Migration Timelines 

Instead of months-long discovery phases with spreadsheets and manual processes, you can export your Cisco config and get immediate visibility into your user base and their calling patterns. 

Reduced Operational Overhead 

The enhanced bulk provisioning means improved deployments with less errors and less time troubleshooting licensing or policy conflicts. 

Cost Optimization 

PSTN Utilization Reports give you the data you need to right-size your calling plan investments without guessing. 

Better User Experience 

These features are designed based on real feedback from customers dealing with the daily challenges of managing migrations and dual telephony systems. 

Scheduled migrations and batch processing mean you can plan transitions that work for your users, not just your IT timeline.
