  • 2.2 Eastern Municipal Water District ProfileSince its formation in 1950, Eastern Municipal Water District has matured from a small,primarily agricultural-serving agency, to one whose major demands come fromdomestic customers.Authorized under the Municipal Water District Act of 1911, EMWDs duties andresponsibilities are further delineated in the California Water Code. In 1951, EMWDannexed to The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD).As with many other public entities, EMWD is authorized to exercise the power ofeminent domain, to levy and collect taxes, to fix, revise and collect rates or other charges.The district may also issue bonds, borrow money and incur indebtedness.Municipal water and sewer rates are not subject to regulation by the Public UtilitiesCommission of California. EMWD customers instead are represented by a board of fivedirectors. They are elected by registered voters to four-year terms in divisionsrepresenting comparably sized populations.The population within the current 555-square-mile service area is about 630,000.EMWDs operating budget for 2005/2006 is $145 million with net assets ofapproximately $1.4 billion.

    2.3 Project Overview - Proposed SolutionAs with any new technology, occasional updates and/or upgrades are necessary inorder to stay current, to increase functionality, maintain or improve interoperability,reliability, and/or to enhance the overall end-user experience. In this case, the primaryreasons for the upgrade include support for server virtualization and consolidation,unified computing system platform support, improved reliability, high availability,increased scalability, compatibility support for newer Windows applications andoperating systems, a whole host of new & enhanced telephony feature functionalityproviding an overall improved end-user experience.This project provides for upgrading all of the various UC applications to either to v9,xby leveraging active UCSS/maintenance support/subscription contracts that EMWDhas in place today, providing for free major software level upgrade entitlement(s) fromCisco and/or from other technology solution providers.The various UC applications involved include: Cisco Communications Manager, UnityMessaging, Presence, Emergency Responder, MeetingPlace Express, Contact CenterExpress, Attendant Consoles, Metropolis - Call Accounting, IP Celerate IP Paging,Inova - wall board application, along with various other supporting infrastructure suchas Cisco voice gateways located at all of the EMWD locations.The overall upgrade process will involve many inter-related UC applications in usetoday that are interdependent upon one another. As such the upgrade will require &include a carefully planned out implementation & acceptance testing phase.In order to minimize the risk of any potentially prolonged service outage, a parallelUC/telephony environment will be provisioned alongside the production environmentfor the most critical UC applications involved so that extensive testing can be conducted

  • prior to the actual switch over from the current production environment to the newlyupgraded environment.The newly upgraded environment will leverage new server hardware technology fromCisco called Unified Computing System. UCS represents the latest in server technologyfrom Cisco & provides many ROI/TCO benefits over traditional server technology. Assuch, UCS will provide a reduction in physical server requirements, increasedscalability, an overall lower cost to maintain, lower power & cooling, less physical spacerequirements, 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 forhigh availability/redundancy purposes. All hardware will be centrally located atEMWDs main data center location.As part of this overall upgrade, the current Contact Center Express (UCCX) system willbe upgraded to v9.x Among many new feature enhancements, UCCX v9 includes a newreporting interface called Cisco Unified Intelligence Center (CUIC) thatreplaces/improves upon the current reporting system based on Crystal Reporting. Inaddition, the existing KnoahSoft agent call recording application/workforcemanagement system will be replaced with a new recording/WFM solution fromCallabrio. Callabrio provides a full-featured workforce management/agent recordingsolution ideal for agent performance tracking, scheduling, and forecasting.As part of this upgrade, the current EOS/EOL MeetingPlace Express (MPE) system willbe replaced with the new Cisco WebEx Meetings Server (CWMS) application providingfor a fully on-premise, secure web-conferencing /collaboration platform for EMWDusers to schedule, host, attend audio, web, & video conferences/on-line meetings withinternal/external participates. The system supports iPad devices, VOIP streaming,record & playback of meetings, integration with Outlook/Exchange for scheduling, ADintegration for Single Sign On, and much more.The upgrade solution will also introduce a record on demand feature for a smalldepartment of users located outside of the traditional call center groups, by leveragingan add-on capability of an existing application called IP Celerate/IP Paging. This add-onsoftware module called IPstudio will provide up to 10 sessions initially so that usersof this department can press a record key on their IP phones in order to record anyphone call at the users discretion.Finally the upgrade will include a Jabber implementation for a select user group forEMWD to test & evaluate the power of Cisco collaboration over a multitude of userdevices including mobile devices.The overall upgrade will help EMWD continue their tradition of taking advantage oftechnology 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 variouscomponents/tasks/responsibilities involved.

  • 3 Solution OverviewNexus has made every effort to detail any assumptions, outstanding caveats, and otherconsiderations within this document, based on our current understanding of EasternMunicipal Water Districts requirements and the UC existing environment. This sectionshould be carefully reviewed by all parties to ensure accuracy and completeness of theinformation provided.Based on pre-sales meetings & conversations between Nexus and the Eastern MunicipalWater District, Nexus perceives the following about Eastern Municipal Water District.3.1.1 Current EnvironmentFrom a telephony perspective, EMWD currently has various Cisco and other solutionprovider UC applications in place that together comprise their overall communicationsenvironment. These various applications include: CUCM version 6.1.5.1, an older/nolonger 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 AgentPremium Edition, Knoahsoft Agent Call Recording, Inova wall boards, IP Celerate IPPaging, Metropolis Call Accounting, Operations Manager v2.0, various 2800/3800 seriesvoice gateways running IP Services IOS 12,xxx code, and approximately two VG224analog voice gateways.The high-level IP telephony components consist of three Cisco CommunicationsManager 6.1 servers for call processing. The three servers provide failover and overallload balancing, along with other various services such as: Music on Hold, CTI Managerfor agent desktop call-control, master database replication, TFTP/firmware updates, andmore.The high-level conferencing system consists of a Cisco MeetingPlace Express server thatprovides audio and web conferencing for EMWD users. This system consists of 35 portsfor audio and 26 ports for web conferencing. This product has reached end of sale andend of support was April 2013. Therefore a new conferencing solution to replace MPE isproposed & included CWMS.Most of the phone instruments deployed are the Cisco model 7965 phone whichprovides 10/100/1000 IP LAN connectivity, a large color display, and also supports theG.722 wideband audio codec. Other instruments include conference room phones, PC-based soft phones for remote workers, and mobility features for workers on the go whoneed their cellular phone and desk phone to ring simultaneously SNR or MobileConnect.For voice messaging, Cisco Unity provides Unified Messaging which allows the use ofthe EMWD Exchange e-mail environment to deliver voicemail messages to the sameinbox.The environment also includes Cisco Emergency Responder (CER). CER providesEnhanced 911 functionality, while Metropolis Call Accounting provides for basic CallDetail Record Reporting.

  • From a security perspective, Firewall Services Modules (FWSMs) are deployed in aredundant configuration. These Firewall Services Modules (FWSMs) may also bedeployed to support a security layer and trust boundary between the UnifiedCommunications application servers and the rest of the network.The high-level Overhead Paging solution in place consists of an IPCelerate applicationserver which provides either overhead paging capability and/or uses the Cisco IPTelephones as paging endpoints as well as paging to IP-based speakers at the remotelocations. IPCelerate has the capability to integrate with other sources such as overheadpaging systems, Facebook, Tweeter, Email systems, and more.From a call center perspective, the various applications include: UCCX version5.0(2)SR03_Build317 for 50 users Premium Edition running on two 7835 HA servers.KnoahSoft Call Recording, and Inova Wall Boards are also in place.All of the current server hardware is either MCS7835/MCS7845 H2 series and is nolonger suitable for the newer software versions, unless specified. Some existing serverhardware will be leveraged for the upgraded environment such as: Metropolis, IPCelerate & Inova.From a network perspective, EMWD has various Cisco infrastructure in place that willfor the most part remain unchanged, with the exception of the voice gateways and/oranalog gateway IOS upgrades as mentioned above.From an application/groupware perspective, EMWD currently runs the following:Office 2010 including Exchange/Outlook 2010Predominately Windows XP on the desktop / moving towards Windows 7Active Directory 2003 SP2

    3.1.2 Functional RequirementsBased on various meetings that were conducted with Eastern Municipal Water Districtkey stake holders, the following functional requirements have been gathered:Establish and configure new UCS server hardware platform(s) onto which the variousmain/critical UC applications will be deployed & distributed across and/or migrated tofrom the old MCS server hardware in place today.Upgrade the various UC applications as follows:Upgrade Call Manager from v6 to v9.1 / distribute UCM Pub/Sub servers across UCSfor redundancy (three instances for load balancing/failover)Install /configure centralized UC Enterprise License Manager (ELM server) EnterpriseLicense Manager provides simplified, enterprise-wide management of user-basedlicensing, including license fulfillment. Enterprise License Manager also supportsallocation and reconciliation of licenses across supported products, and providesenterprise-level reporting of usage and entitlement.Upgrade/migrate Unity v5 to Unity Connection v9.x / distribute across UCS forredundancy (two instances for load balancing/failover)

  • Upgrade Emergency Responder to v9.x / distribute across UCS for redundancy (twoinstances for failover) (two instances are in place today) existing MCS 7835 H2 serverhardware is not supported for CER v9 and aboveMeetingPlace Express: By leveraging Cisco UCSS/ESW upgrade entitlement,replace/migrate current EOS/EOL MPE application to CWMS product using newdedicated UCS server hardware platform. Current MPE licensing is:25Audio/6Web/6Video. Also deploy an Internet/DMZ Reverse Proxy server (IRP) forremote/outside secure access to meetings hosted on-premise. Integrate withOutlook/Exchange for scheduling, configure for single sign-on (SSO) via SAML or ADintegration - provides the ability for users hosting meetings to use their AD credentialswhen signing on to CWMS Web/Outlook/Productivity Tools interfaces. EMWD mustalready have a functional Identity server/service in place such as ADFS that is SAML 2.0compliant and/or functional Active Directory infrastructure in place.Upgrade the existing IP Celerate IP Paging application using existing hardware. Thenenable/configure for IPstudio - On-demand Recording for a small dept of users(approximately 10) outside of the traditional call center environment. Provision thenetwork / appropriate voice VLAN for SPAN (for capturing VOIP streams) in supportof recording calls/capturing voice traffic. The IP Celerate server will store the voicerecordings locally and/or EMWD may opt to provide a SAN/network based storageinstead.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 providedfree of charge.Deploy a new premium edition attendant console application for twooperator/attendant positions to replace the existing console application that wasincluded free with earlier versions of Cisco Call Manager. Also to be deployed on newUCS hardware however the application and client software will both leverage existingcustomer-provided (CPE) Windows client workstations & Windows operating systems.Implement a 50-user Jabber UC collaboration deployment as follows: Users of thisselect group will pilot/test out the full Cisco UC collaboration user experience byrunning the new Jabber for Windows/Mac/Mobile UC/IM/Presence clients. Furtherintegrate this client with users calendars, provide desk phone & integrated soft phonecall control, the ability to chat, group chat, video call, and escalate a call into a desktopsharing session and/or to a CWMSWebEx audio/web/video meeting/conference.Configure & deploy an on-premise CUP server as part of this Jabber deployment/arequired component using new UCS server hardware. Nexus will configure twoinstance of each Jabber client type. EMWD will configure remaining clients as needed.Provide professional / consulting services in order to implement a VPN On-Demandfeature solution in support of users running Cisco Jabber mobile client software. Whenusers launch Cisco Jabber mobile application clients from devices such as Apple IOSiPhone/iPad and/or Android from outside the trusted LAN/wireless network, theremote devices can automatically launch a VPN connection negating the need for theuser to launch the VPN connection first and /or requiring the user to enter a user nameand password each time. In order to accomplish this task, certificate based

  • authentication is required - EMWD will provide/stand-up a Windows-based CertificateAuthority Server (CA Server) in order to internally distribute digital certificates to themobile devices using standards-based Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP)protocol. Nexus will assist EMWD in implementing this functionality by leveragingexisting ASA hardware, along with the required Cisco Any Connect VPN clientlicensing (Essential or Premium Edition) including the required ASA mobile licensing -all customer-provided/CPE. This functionality is limited to only those mobile devicesthat support a VPN on Demand feature such as the iPhone/iPad (other mobile devicesmay not support this feature) Note: The current ASA firewall(s) must be running v8,4 orabove code. Also note: The VPN On-Demand connection can leverage either apublic/private WiFi 802.11 connection and/or a cellular 3G/4G connection dependingon the particular mobile device user's service provider's capabilities/service offerings.In addition, implement a Jabber for Everyone Else deployment for the remainingEMWD workforce outside of the above 50 user Jabber UC collaboration deploymentas follows: For everyone else, Cisco offers free Jabber IM/Presence capability only.Nexus will configure the system for all users. EMWD will be responsible for deployingthe client out to the entire workforce as needed. Users of this group will be able to chat,and check the presence availability of all users including the select group above.Advanced features such as integrated soft phone, call control, & video will not beavailable to these users. Nexus will install, configure, & test up to 2 Jabber for everyoneclients, EMWD will install, configure, & test remaining Jabber for everyone clients asneeded.The existing voice gateways (approximately 7ea ISR 2811s, 2ea ISR 3825s, 1ea ISR 2851will be upgraded from v12.x IOS to v15.x IOS (IP Services Feature Set) for compatibilitywith CUCM v9.x Remote sites SRST will be tested for proper survivability operation(SRST) after the upgrade is completed.In addition, two analog voice gateways (VG224s) will be upgraded as needed insupport of CUCM v9.xThe overall LAN/WAN network remains unchanged, unless otherwise stated within oris addressed as a separate project altogether.Network Management: From a network management perspective, EMWD uses/runsSolarWinds Network Management application products. This application is not affectedand/or part of the UC upgrade project. EMWD also uses/runs Operations Manager v2.0for monitoring/testing the UC related environment only. This product does not includeany upgrade entitlement and would require a significant cost to upgrade. ThereforeOperations Manager will not be upgraded and/or will be decommissioned, or no longerneeded.Nexus understands the operational requirements for the contact center include:

    Single-stage (single maintenance windows, likely weekend) system upgradedeployment approach based on best practice upgrade paths for the UCCXsystem, system software interdependencies and compatibilities, and site typeand size.

    4.3 Nexus Standard Development Configurations4.3.1 *Nexus Standard Softkey TemplateAlthough all Cisco Unified IP phones support similar features, features are implementeddifferently on various models. For example, some models configure features such asHold or Transfer by using phone button templates; other models have fixed buttons oronscreen program keys for these features that are not configurable. Also, the maximumnumber of lines or speed dials that are supported differs for some phone models. Thesedifferences require different phone button templates for specific models. Nexusstandard softkey template features include:CallPark iDivert Meet-Me conference (Up to 4

    bridge numbers and 6participants)

    4.6 Knowledge TransferThe success of any technology implementation is dependent on the usability andperception of the system to the users. Nexus provides Knowledge Transfer sessionsfor both users and administrative staff.4.6.1 Train the trainer knowledge transferNexus will provide two (2) days of knowledge transfer for the Eastern MunicipalTrainers to Train the EMWD staff on using their new phone and voicemail system.

  • These sessions typically take place on the business days immediately preceding thecutover weekend (for example, if cutover takes place on a Saturday or Sunday, and twodays of training are provided, classes will take place on the Thursday and Friday beforethe cutover weekend). Nexus will work with EMWD on when it is best to train thetrainers 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 willprovide one and one-half (1.5) days of knowledge transfer for the Contact Center agentsand supervisors.4.6.2 Administrative knowledge transferIt is intended that EMWD will designate appropriate personnel who are familiar withthe project details and who will continue to maintain the systems after cutover. Theknowledge 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 functionalityadministration. Client should NOT expect to troubleshoot advanced situation andupgrade their system(s) without assistance from Nexus or Cisco unless client personnelreceive advanced Cisco training/certification(s).Nexus will provide one informal administrative knowledge transfer session for up totwenty (20) hours to accommodate up to four (4) attendees. This session will beconducted on the day after completion of go live support. If a lot of supervised (over-the-shoulder) knowledge transfer occurs during implementation, the amount of time theoverall time on administrative knowledge transfer may vary.Informal administrator knowledge transfer typically covers the following:Unified Communications Manager

    Introduction to Unified Communications Manager How to add users/phones/extensions/voicemail Basic call handling, dialing plan Basic troubleshooting techniques Maintenance and backup

    Unity Unified Messaging/Unity Connection: Introduction to Unity Add/delete subscribers Call handler, class of service, basic reports Basic troubleshooting techniques Maintenance and backup

  • 4.6.3 Contact Center Agent / Supervisor Knowledge TransferNo Agent training is included in this implementation.

    4.6.4 Contact Center Administrative Knowledge TransferIt is intended that EMWD will designate appropriate personnel who are familiar with theproject details and who will continue to maintain the systems after cutover. Theknowledge transfer session(s) provide the basic understanding of how your system(s)operate Knowledge transfer DOES NOT provide expert and/or advanced functionalityadministration. Client should NOT expect to troubleshoot advanced situations andupgrade their system(s) without assistance from Nexus or Cisco unless client personnelreceive advanced Cisco training/certification(s).

    Nexus will provide one informal administrative knowledge transfer sessions for up to 4hours total to accommodate up to three (3) attendees. These sessions will be conductedpost cutover. If a large amount of supervised (over-the-shoulder) knowledge transferoccurs during implementation, the amount of time the overall time provided onadministrative knowledge transfer may vary. Since EMWD has been using Cisco UCCXfor some time the Administrative Knowledge Transfer will concentrate on the differencesbetween the versions. Standard Knowledge Transfer commitments will apply to theCisco Advanced Quality Management and Work Force Management AdministrativeKnowledge Transfer,

    One (1) 6 hour Standard Reports Overview

    One (1) 4 hour System Administration Knowledge Transfer

    One (1) 8 hour AQM System Administration Knowledge Transfer

    One (1) WebEx Session from Calabrio (OEM for Cisco WFM) for WFM AdministrationKnowledge Transfer

    4.7 Cutover/First Day of SupportCutover will take place in a single phase, unless otherwise noted. Nexus will provideon-site support for the cutover at a mutually agreed upon time.Nexus will provide two technicians to run the help desk. The technicians job will be toanswer a help desk number and to perform minor adds, moves, and changes for users.These technicians will be onsite during the first day (from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm) that userswill need to operate the system.This SOW does not cover additional services such as network audit, networkassessment, network design, or consulting.
