EMU Migrate

Service Providers use EMU via UI or API to perform large scale and robust migrations of subscriber and device configuration.

  • Users
  • Virtual Users
  • Groups
  • Enterprises

Migration across clusters, between BroadWorks and non-BroadWorks platforms and versions. Load balancing, customer mergers and splits are simple use cases that EMU supports.

EMU Migrate supports two key approaches:

  1. A 'Staged Migration' following a step by step, project managed approach to migration that occurs over the days leading up to and during the migration change window.
  2. The 'Single Click' migration performs mass migration in one pass, with configurable 'migration accuracy thresholds' not to be breached, else automated rollback is instigated. The ability to migrate subscriber configuration, all the settings, all the devices, audio files and passwords, makes EMU the complete migration platform in the industry.

EMU Audit

Used by Service Providers to extract single elements of a platform or an entire platform

Auditing Scope

  • System Level
  • System CLI
  • Enterprise Level
  • Group Level
  • User Level
  • Virtual User Level

Entire subscriber configuration in one view en mass, into a human readable form for Auditing, Templating, Snapshotting, Feature Analytics and other use cases. This is the foundation of a Product Analytics capability for a Service Provider to gather insights into the way subscribers are interacting with the service.

MORE HERE

EMU Update

The companion to EMU Audit, Update is used by Service Providers to UPDATE the configuration of an ‘already provisioned’ BroadWorks user, virtual user, Group or Enterprise setting.

Total flexibility to update anything, for example a single feature across all users, across all groups can be updated in ‘one-click’, or conversely, many features of a single group of users, virtual users, group services, service packs, FACs etc. en mass, can be updated in ‘one-click’. 

All done in a human readable form.

The ability to make changes to services, default pin codes, configuration settings, device profiles and passwords and apply them across the platform is a widely used function.

EMU Firmware Distribution Management

EMU Firmware Distribution Management allows Service Providers, using their BroadWorks Device Management System (DMS), to deploy firmware to CPE in a vastly superior way than what is natively available on the BroadWorks platform.

  • Multi-cluster large scale environments
  • Flexible and highly granular firmware distribution policy management
  • Automatic tag and template hierarchy management, updates and removals
  • Sophisticated distribution throttling rules
  • Advanced scheduling for well-planned and un-attended updates
  • Flexible inventory reporting for pre and post update analysis

EMU Backup and Restore

EMU allows Service Providers to uniquely extract a specific customer group and store ALL the Group, User, Virtual User information. This information is stored in an EMU Backup file so that, if needed, the entire BroadWorks database can be restored. This traditionally has impacted all customers on the platform.

EMU Backup is used to store a known working configuration using the EMU Web portal or scheduled to occur as a periodic backup. Examples include the nightly customer group backups or a lab system.

Until now, when a problem occurs with a customer group, there has been no way to restore the customer to a known working state. EMU Restore allows Service Providers to restore just the impacted customer Enterprise, Group or User from the EMU Backup file. 

This saves hundreds of hours of manual effort, re-building a customer’s configuration when, for example, it was accidently deleted.

EMU Visual Device Management

EMU Visual Device Management allows Service Providers a way for their customer administrators and subscribers to visually configure device soft buttons and line-keys in conjunction with their authorised services on the Cisco BroadWorks platform. 

EMU VDM leverages all the zero-touch provisioning functions that make up the Cisco BroadWorks Device Management Service (DMS)

EMU Analytics

Historical Call and Feature consumption are available via EMU Analytics by ingesting the BroadWorks CDRs. All feature and call usage data is extracted and analysed on a periodical basis, en masse.

An EMU user or northbound system (using REST APIs) can request any combination of statistical data and have it presented in simple graphical representation or downloadable content for post processing. 

EMU Analytics is used to replace call detail reporting in customer care portals, or it can be used for UCaaS Product Managers to take snapshots over time. It allows them to gather the insights needed to make better product decisions and to understand how customers are consuming the service, from both a call and feature consumption perspective.

EMU Deployment Assistant

As a mobile first strategy, the EMU Deployment Assistant delivers a powerful Customer Group Administrator (CGA) and end-user experiences on their mobile device (or tablet or desktop).

Onboarding subscribers and their handsets traditionally involved many time consuming and costly tasks. Warehouses, field techs, spreadsheets and mistakes have plagued the Service Provider provisioning teams for many years.

The EMU Deployment Assistant removes many steps in the process. Simplifying the end to end process of onboarding subscribers and their devices.

Using the subscriber's mobile phone and common 'consumer experiences', difficult tasks like MAC address and device type entry become a breeze.

Delivered as a Progressive Web Application (PWA), there is no application download from an 'app store' removing one of the key barriers to adoption - customer engagement.

EMU Compare

Used by Service Provider engineering and help desk teams to compare known working customer configurations and templates with current configurations to identify DELTAs.

Single users or Groups can be compared to historical data to pinpoint the potential issue. This is done in real time, while the customer is on the phone describing their issue. 

The DELTA between the two configurations and visually shown, saving many minutes per call in resolving customer issues. The help desk operator no longer needs to ask ‘twenty questions’ to identify the issue.

EMU React

When UCaaS product change happens, a costly IT project can result. EMU bridges the gap between what the IT systems where built to do and what the product offering needs to do now.

EMU React listens to provisioning events on the Cisco BroadWorks platform (OCI-R) and acts to execute configurable workflows and actions. These include additional Cisco BroadWorks provisioning commands and invokes external API call to external systems.

Each workflow is triggered by a provisioning event, but can use data from the platform and external systems, to action appropriate workflow steps.

It means Service Providers can save millions of dollars in IT (OSS/BSS) re-development costs when change occurs.

EMU Schedule

Extending the power of EMU into the hands of customer administrators and end users, BroadSource has re-invented service onboarding (Day 0) and ongoing consumption (Day 1+) user experience through its patented Adaptive UC Mobile centric application suite.

  • A day zero deployment assistant and everyday Self-care portal
  • Adaptive hybrid work technology to drive feature consumption without explicit user intervention
  • Secure payments by phone for business to comply with their PCI-DSS obligations and significantly reduce credit card processing fees
