Adoption (Advanced Analytics)

The Adoption tab looks at usage data over time in order to identify adoption and usage trends.

OVERVIEW

The Adoption tab is a collection of dashboards in Advanced Analytics that features an abundance of adoption-related default panels as well as space for you to create additional dashboards, generate reports, etc.

The positive growth of adoption is a critical component to successful UC&C execution. Its focus is on highlighting when, where, and how your communications resources are being utilized within your organization.

 

DEFAULT ADOPTION PANELS

The Default Adoption panels are designed to give you a comprehensive overview of the adoption trends and critical statistics within your organization, based on Vyopta’s experience with hundreds of customers. The idea behind these particular default panels is to enable you to track adoption rates and usage over time to gain a sense of where your users are utilizing your UC&C platforms, and how.

Endpoint Utilization Trend

The Endpoint Utilization Trend panel represents minutes of video communications across your UC&C network over a given period of time, a basic, but meaningful gauge of adoption levels.

Bridge Usage Trend

This Bar Trend graph tracks Meeting Minutes by System Type in order to give you an idea of how many real minutes of usage your users are getting out of each major system type.

The Filter Meeting Type (Bridge/P2P) Equals Bridge eliminates P2P calls and reports only on bridge calls.

Bridge Usage Trend

The Bridge Usage Trend panel is another Bar Trend display of meeting minutes, but this type by system name. It’s a slightly more refined query than the Bridge Technology Usage trend, as it enables you to see how specific systems are being utilized across your network.

The Filter Meeting Type (Bridge/P2P) Equals Bridge eliminates P2P calls and reports only on bridge calls.
