MiCloud Connect

Bernard G.: I'm Bernard, Unified Communications Cloud as a service consultant. I rate the Mitel MiCloud Connect a four out of five. For more information about the Mitel suite of solutions, click below. The solution used before the Mitel MiCloud Connect was the ShoreTel On Premises Phone System, which was working fine but did not provide the same level of functionality for operation via the cloud. Switching from the On-Premise Legacy System to the MiCloud Connect Solution was by far the easiest alternative than going to other cloud solutions. By leveraging the on-premise phones, it was very easy to migrate the solution to the cloud, make it easy for the employees, and the end result was a pure cloud solution became available. Getting started with Mitel MiCloud Connect is very easy if you have a existing compatible phone system. If you do, then switching is very easy. You actually migrate the users and the telephone circuits to the cloud and it's made very, very simple for the employees to essentially on a Friday go home, have the switching done on a weekend, and have it up and running on Monday with no disruption to the business. It's very, very easy for employees to now even greater access to cloud services like Mobile Access than ever before. My recommendation for anyone evaluating MiCloud Connect is to assess the importance of keeping the existing Legacy phones in use for the service. If you can use the existing phones and they're compatible with the service that you're evaluating, that's a definite advantage. However, if more employees are using their iPhones and MacBooks and PCs as their preferred device, then you may want to consider another pure cloud solution like Zoom or the Microsoft Team Solutions which also support certain on-prem's devices as needed.
