CLOUD VIDEO INTEROP (CVI) SOLUTION
Tender ID: 508031
Tender Details
Tender Description
This RFP relates to the procurement of a Cloud Video Interop (CVI) solution to provide a high-quality, consistent videoconferencing experience as Police implements the Microsoft 365 suite of technologies under the Modern Collaboration Programme (MCP). Over the last 3 years, Police have invested in a Webex solution, however the move to M365 to provide a powerful and well-integrated suite of collaboration tools means a progression from Webex to MS Teams is now being planned.
Police are looking for a solution that enables them to extract maximum value from the current investment in Webex meeting room technology but using this equipment in conjunction with MS Teams. The functionality required will enable users to easily incorporate Webex meeting room equipment into Teams meetings in a seamless and consistent manner, delivering a high-quality user experience. It will also provide a migration pathway for the gradual replacement of Webex equipment with new Teams meeting room equipment.
Police have identified that a Cloud Video Interop (CVI) solution is the best way to meet these needs and are seeking a reputable supplier who can demonstrate its ability (capability, experience and infrastructure) to provide a CVI solution and to provide expertise to design and assist Police with implementation of the solution. The CVI solution needs to provide capability to:
• Allow seamless integration of Webex meeting room equipment with Teams meetings
• Integrate with Exchange Online calendars to book resources for meetings
• Provide a consistent user experience on all meeting room equipment
• Integrate with future new meeting room equipment, that is CVI-compliant
• Meet Police security policies for storage and transfer of information
• Minimise performance impacts on Police networks
• Monitor and report on status and usage
We are expecting a cloud-based solution offered under a Software-as-a-Service model however a hybrid model, with some physical components hosted within the Police network, will be considered as a means to reduce the total cost of ownership or provide improved system and network performance. A hybrid model is a less-preferred option than a full-cloud solution.
