For Mathworks, Sonus SBCs and Microsoft Lync Add up to Lower Costs, Better Collaboration by Sonus
MathWorks is the world’s leading developer of technical computing software for engineers and scientists in industry, government, and education. Its MATLAB® and Simulink® products are used throughout the automotive, aerospace, communications, electronics, and industrial automation industries as fundamental tools for research, modeling and simulation, discovery, innovation, and development. Founded in 1984, more than 5,000 colleges and universities worldwide use MATLAB and Simulink in their teaching and research programs, helping to accelerate discovery in the next generation.
MathWorks already had Microsoft solutions in place extensively throughout the organization, so it began investigating Microsoft Lync as an alternative to replace its existing communications platform.
The decision to follow a phased migration plan placed added importance on interoperability between legacy equipment and the new system. To facilitate this interoperability, MathWorks selected Sonus Session Border Controllers (SBCs) to serve as the gateway and intermediary device between the legacy systems and the Lync solution. This enabled MathWorks to add new communications features incrementally, without losing or disrupting any of their existing services.
