2 Executive Summary
This statement of work (SOW) identifies the services and activities to be performed by
Nexus (and/or others as identified herein) relative to the UC Communications Upgrade
Project for Eastern Municipal Water District. The services, activities, and responsibilities
described within the following sections herein characterize the full set of deliverables for
this project, thus constitutes the working agreement between Nexus and Eastern
Municipal Water District. Every effort has been made to identify the scope of the project
based on information made available during the engagement to create the SOW.
prior to the actual switch over from the current production environment to the newly
upgraded environment.
The newly upgraded environment will leverage new server hardware technology from
Cisco called Unified Computing System. UCS represents the latest in server technology
from Cisco & provides many ROI/TCO benefits over traditional server technology. As
such, UCS will provide a reduction in physical server requirements, increased
scalability, an overall lower cost to maintain, lower power & cooling, less physical space
requirements, and so on.
The main UC applications in production today such as CUCM, Connection, CUPS, CER,
and UCCX will be distributed across two or more separate UCS C-series platforms for
high availability/redundancy purposes. All hardware will be centrally located at
EMWDs main data center location.
As part of this overall upgrade, the current Contact Center Express (UCCX) system will
be upgraded to v9.x Among many new feature enhancements, UCCX v9 includes a new
reporting interface called Cisco Unified Intelligence Center (CUIC) that
replaces/improves upon the current reporting system based on Crystal Reporting. In
addition, the existing KnoahSoft agent call recording application/workforce
management system will be replaced with a new recording/WFM solution from
Callabrio. Callabrio provides a full-featured workforce management/agent recording
solution ideal for agent performance tracking, scheduling, and forecasting.
As part of this upgrade, the current EOS/EOL MeetingPlace Express (MPE) system will
be replaced with the new Cisco WebEx Meetings Server (CWMS) application providing
for a fully on-premise, secure web-conferencing /collaboration platform for EMWD
users to schedule, host, attend audio, web, & video conferences/on-line meetings with
internal/external participates. The system supports iPad devices, VOIP streaming,
record & playback of meetings, integration with Outlook/Exchange for scheduling, AD
integration for Single Sign On, and much more.
The upgrade solution will also introduce a record on demand feature for a small
department of users located outside of the traditional call center groups, by leveraging
an add-on capability of an existing application called IP Celerate/IP Paging. This add-on
software module called IPstudio will provide up to 10 sessions initially so that users
of this department can press a record key on their IP phones in order to record any
phone call at the users discretion.
Finally the upgrade will include a Jabber implementation for a select user group for
EMWD to test & evaluate the power of Cisco collaboration over a multitude of user
devices including mobile devices.
The overall upgrade will help EMWD continue their tradition of taking advantage of
technology to improve the overall user experience, increase overall productivity, &
ultimately improve the quality of service provided to their customers.
This SOW provides a high-level overview of the various
components/tasks/responsibilities involved.
3 Solution Overview
Nexus has made every effort to detail any assumptions, outstanding caveats, and other
considerations within this document, based on our current understanding of Eastern
Municipal Water Districts requirements and the UC existing environment. This section
should be carefully reviewed by all parties to ensure accuracy and completeness of the
information provided.
Based on pre-sales meetings & conversations between Nexus and the Eastern Municipal
Water District, Nexus perceives the following about Eastern Municipal Water District.
3.1.1 Current Environment
From a telephony perspective, EMWD currently has various Cisco and other solution
provider UC applications in place that together comprise their overall communications
environment. These various applications include: CUCM version 6.1.5.1, an older/no
longer supported attendant console application, Unity version 5.0(1), CER version 2.x,
EOS/EOL MeetingPlace Express v2.0, Contact Center Express (UCCX) v5 50 Agent
Premium Edition, Knoahsoft Agent Call Recording, Inova wall boards, IP Celerate IP
Paging, Metropolis Call Accounting, Operations Manager v2.0, various 2800/3800 series
voice gateways running IP Services IOS 12,xxx code, and approximately two VG224
analog voice gateways.
The high-level IP telephony components consist of three Cisco Communications
Manager 6.1 servers for call processing. The three servers provide failover and overall
load balancing, along with other various services such as: Music on Hold, CTI Manager
for agent desktop call-control, master database replication, TFTP/firmware updates, and
more.
The high-level conferencing system consists of a Cisco MeetingPlace Express server that
provides audio and web conferencing for EMWD users. This system consists of 35 ports
for audio and 26 ports for web conferencing. This product has reached end of sale and
end of support was April 2013. Therefore a new conferencing solution to replace MPE is
proposed & included CWMS.
Most of the phone instruments deployed are the Cisco model 7965 phone which
provides 10/100/1000 IP LAN connectivity, a large color display, and also supports the
G.722 wideband audio codec. Other instruments include conference room phones, PCbased soft phones for remote workers, and mobility features for workers on the go who
need their cellular phone and desk phone to ring simultaneously SNR or Mobile
Connect.
For voice messaging, Cisco Unity provides Unified Messaging which allows the use of
the EMWD Exchange e-mail environment to deliver voicemail messages to the same
inbox.
The environment also includes Cisco Emergency Responder (CER). CER provides
Enhanced 911 functionality, while Metropolis Call Accounting provides for basic Call
Detail Record Reporting.
Upgrade Emergency Responder to v9.x / distribute across UCS for redundancy (two
instances for failover) (two instances are in place today) existing MCS 7835 H2 server
hardware is not supported for CER v9 and above
MeetingPlace Express: By leveraging Cisco UCSS/ESW upgrade entitlement,
replace/migrate current EOS/EOL MPE application to CWMS product using new
dedicated UCS server hardware platform. Current MPE licensing is:
25Audio/6Web/6Video. Also deploy an Internet/DMZ Reverse Proxy server (IRP) for
remote/outside secure access to meetings hosted on-premise. Integrate with
Outlook/Exchange for scheduling, configure for single sign-on (SSO) via SAML or AD
integration - provides the ability for users hosting meetings to use their AD credentials
when signing on to CWMS Web/Outlook/Productivity Tools interfaces. EMWD must
already have a functional Identity server/service in place such as ADFS that is SAML 2.0
compliant and/or functional Active Directory infrastructure in place.
Upgrade the existing IP Celerate IP Paging application using existing hardware. Then
enable/configure for IPstudio - On-demand Recording for a small dept of users
(approximately 10) outside of the traditional call center environment. Provision the
network / appropriate voice VLAN for SPAN (for capturing VOIP streams) in support
of recording calls/capturing voice traffic. The IP Celerate server will store the voice
recordings locally and/or EMWD may opt to provide a SAN/network based storage
instead.
Upgrade the existing Metropolis call accounting system using existing server hardware,
and by leveraging an active support contract in place for which the upgrade is provided
free of charge.
Deploy a new premium edition attendant console application for two
operator/attendant positions to replace the existing console application that was
included free with earlier versions of Cisco Call Manager. Also to be deployed on new
UCS hardware however the application and client software will both leverage existing
customer-provided (CPE) Windows client workstations & Windows operating systems.
Implement a 50-user Jabber UC collaboration deployment as follows: Users of this
select group will pilot/test out the full Cisco UC collaboration user experience by
running the new Jabber for Windows/Mac/Mobile UC/IM/Presence clients. Further
integrate this client with users calendars, provide desk phone & integrated soft phone
call control, the ability to chat, group chat, video call, and escalate a call into a desktop
sharing session and/or to a CWMS WebEx audio/web/video meeting/conference.
Configure & deploy an on-premise CUP server as part of this Jabber deployment/a
required component using new UCS server hardware. Nexus will configure two
instance of each Jabber client type. EMWD will configure remaining clients as needed.
Provide professional / consulting services in order to implement a VPN On-Demand
feature solution in support of users running Cisco Jabber mobile client software. When
users launch Cisco Jabber mobile application clients from devices such as Apple IOS
iPhone/iPad and/or Android from outside the trusted LAN/wireless network, the
remote devices can automatically launch a VPN connection negating the need for the
user to launch the VPN connection first and /or requiring the user to enter a user name
and password each time. In order to accomplish this task, certificate based

These sessions typically take place on the business days immediately preceding the
cutover weekend (for example, if cutover takes place on a Saturday or Sunday, and two
days of training are provided, classes will take place on the Thursday and Friday before
the cutover weekend). Nexus will work with EMWD on when it is best to train the
trainers based on the number of end-users that will be required to receive training.
This IP telephony training typically includes instruction on using the telephone set,
making calls, accessing voicemail, setting up greetings, etc.
In addition to training the trainer for general phone and voicemail usage Nexus will
provide one and one-half (1.5) days of knowledge transfer for the Contact Center agents
and supervisors.
4.6.2 Administrative knowledge transfer
It is intended that EMWD will designate appropriate personnel who are familiar with
the project details and who will continue to maintain the systems after cutover. The
knowledge transfer session(s) provide the basic understanding of how your system(s)
operate and how to accomplish basic MAC (moves/adds/changes) requirements.
Knowledge transfer DOES NOT provide expert and/or advanced functionality
administration. Client should NOT expect to troubleshoot advanced situation and
upgrade their system(s) without assistance from Nexus or Cisco unless client personnel
receive advanced Cisco training/certification(s).
Nexus will provide one informal administrative knowledge transfer session for up to
twenty (20) hours to accommodate up to four (4) attendees. This session will be
conducted on the day after completion of go live support. If a lot of supervised (overthe-shoulder) knowledge transfer occurs during implementation, the amount of time the
overall time on administrative knowledge transfer may vary.
Informal administrator knowledge transfer typically covers the following:

o
All agent and supervisor PCs will be connected to the Ethernet port on a Cisco
794x, 796x or 797x phone.
All reports will be deployed with standard out of the box templates. No custom
reports will be developed as part of this SOW.
For silent monitoring the agent desktop system is connected to the PC port on
the back of the IP phone. This enables the silent monitor subsystem to collect
voice packets that reach the phone, and to forward the voice packets to the
supervisor workstation. The agent desktop system uses one single physical
channel to interact with two different VLANs. The agent desktop accesses the
physical channel with the help of an Ethernet Network Interface Controller
(NIC). The NIC watches the channel and collects Ethernet frames addressed to
the agent computer. Then it runs a pre-processing step to extract IP packets from
the Ethernet frames and deliver them to the TCP/IP stack.
During extensive internal testing Cisco identified that some Ethernet NIC card
drivers available are not capable of pre-processing Ethernet frames that have an
IP packet encapsulated in a VLAN frame. The NIC card driver discards the
Ethernet frame altogether if the IP packet is encapsulated in an 802.1Q frame.
Some vendors can provide a configuration setting that allows their NIC card
driver to forward VLAN traffic to the TCP/IP stack. If an agent desktop NIC
card driver discards VLAN traffic, the silent monitor subsystem on that desktop
is not able to collect and forward voice packets to the supervisor workstation and
silent monitor does not function properly.
