Case Study: MathWorks achieves lower costs and better collaboration with Ribbon SBCs and Microsoft Lync

MathWorks, Ribbon SBCs and Microsoft Lync Add Up to Lower Costs, Better Collaboration

MathWorks, a leading developer of technical computing software, sought to replace its legacy communications platform with Microsoft Lync. The company required a solution that would provide essential interoperability, network security, and high availability during a phased migration while minimizing disruption to its globally distributed workforce.

Ribbon Communications provided its Session Border Controllers (SBCs) to act as a gateway between the old and new systems. The Ribbon solution integrated seamlessly with Microsoft Active Directory and offered crucial survivable branch appliance functionality. The implementation resulted in robust unified communications, freed up 250 IT staff hours per week, and enabled advanced collaboration features like real-time whiteboarding across global offices.
