Keys to a Successful Deployment
www.ena.com 28
Large Scale Experience • ENA has installed two of the largest Hosted VoIP deployments in the
North American education market and has considerable experience managing and delivering large scale data and voice deployments:
• Prince George’s County Public Schools: 235 sites, 15,000+ handsets
• Shelby County Schools: 200 sites, 13,000+ handsets • Atlanta Public Schools: SIP trunking services and
assistance with services migration and porting of 10,000 DIDs
• Our streamlined processes and custom applications enable us to efficiently deploy thousands of handsets across an entire district or institution
www.ena.com 29
Migration Strategy • Numerous deployment options • Keep your current phone numbers (at most sites) &
directory listings • Possible to migrate buildings/sites over an extended
period of time • Phased turn up
• New phones can be installed at a location a couple weeks prior to port and will be “live” for calls to other ENA SmartVoice users and for outbound calls, but won’t be able to receive calls from the PSTN. This allows users to “practice” and become familiar with the phones prior to their Go Live/Port date.
www.ena.com 30
Keys to Successful Deployments ENA provides a dedicated Project Manager to your
implementation
The importance of Data Gathering! • ENA conducts pre-installation interviews with key personnel at each site to
determine their phone/feature needs • Main/Departmental call flows: Talk to main answering points • Admin buildings: We meet with each department individually
• This makes the transition go more smoothly • Less resistance from end users, because we take the time up front to
talk about how they are using their phones today, and how the new system can meet their needs
• ENA has the information we need to properly configure service up front; meaning fewer changes immediately after the “Go Live” date
www.ena.com 31
Keys to Successful Deployments – cont’d Weekly Project Status meetings
• ENA holds weekly status meetings to keep customers up to date on where we are in the project
• We will provide you with an Implementation Dashboard that can be shared with your organization to show the current status of the project
• The Project Manager will maintain a detailed spreadsheet of each task and target completion date for every site being deployed
• ENA will have representation from all impacted departments on these calls • The agenda/scope/frequency of the meetings can be tailored to meet your
exact needs
Partnership • Although ENA SmartVoice is a fully hosted solution, you maintain full
administrative control • Collaborations between and participation by both ENA and our customer
throughout the design and implementation process are keys to project success
www.ena.com 32
Implementation Task Flow
Superior Project Management • Each implementation is unique. ENA will work closely with your team
to manage the entire transition. • We have experience with numerous complex installations and
transition projects • Site assessments ensure transition to our service occurs smoothly • Our implementation methodology does not end with the installation
of equipment but provides for ongoing interaction with our voice customers to ensure that the value and usefulness of the service is maximized.

Training Customer Support Staff
• ENA provides training to your staff that will support the phone system locally
• We train them how to use the Administrator portal to manage the system, as well as basic troubleshooting
• We can tailor the training to different roles depending on the tasks they perform for your institution
End Users • ENA developed training videos that many districts use to train their end
users • These can be viewed at any time over the Internet • They are broken down by phone model and feature, so a user can watch
a video on a specific topic, rather than having to sit through an entire training session. Each video is between 30 seconds and 2 minutes.

training videos, troubleshooting steps, installation/provisioning instructions and much more
