Iron Bow in Action

Seamless Cloud Applications Across the Enterprise

Iron Bow deployed the UCM solution to 10,000 users at a federal agency with demanding security and user identification requirements. The client had a federated IT architecture where four separate and independent domains needed to be able to access the cloud applications and communicate seamlessly across the enterprise. Iron Bow worked closely with the client to evaluate, test and select the domain management vendor best suited to provide the necessary integration and SAML identification and authorization solution.

Enabling In-Office Communications from Anywhere

A global law firm wanted to streamline its voice and video endpoints at locations worldwide. Iron Bow led the migration of voice and video endpoints at 10 locations as well as an on-premises solution in Dublin, Ireland to Cisco’s Unified Communication Manager (UCM) cloud. Upon making the switch, the firm saw increased mobility for users as they could now make and receive calls on any device as if they were in the office. Iron Bow provides Tiers 2 and 3 technical support as well as monitoring and management.

Upgrading Collaboration Applications and Support

A national foundation needed to upgrade and migrate it’s on-premises voice and video endpoints and infrastructure to better serve it users. Iron Bow implemented Cisco’s Unified Communication Manager (UCM) cloud solution to provide an enterprise-ready platform to provide voice, video, instant messaging, presence and conferencing as-a-service to 250 users. Iron Bow led the full lifecycle of this project – initial environment analysis, reviewing system requirements, architecture design, cloud infrastructure design, installation and migration. UCM allowed the customer to move from CapEx costs to OpEx, reduced IT complexity, and modernized collaboration capabilities. With Iron Bow managing UCM, IT staff can concentrate on more strategic initiatives.
