Answers to Common Questions are Listed Below Is this replacing my traditional desktop client? Not at all, this is just a new option for customers. We will continue to support and update our traditional desktop clients. Is my company data stored in the cloud? All data remains stored in your existing on-premises BOC Tapi Connector Server. Only the app is loaded from the cloud. Is there any performance difference? Yes. We have found the cloud suite apps are both faster, more responsive, and consume far less bandwidth than the traditional desktop clients. Are there new features in this version? In addition to 2 new applications, there are new features in Bridge Operator Console as well. The interface has been retooled to work on any device, integrated with Cisco Finesse, and made easier and more intuitive for new users. Where are the apps hosted? For high availability and global distribution, the apps are stored in Microsoft Azure. When would be the best time to move to the new apps? We recommend beginning the process of trying the new apps 60 days before your traditional client renewal was due. This will insure time for testing and smooth transition, if you decide that the cloud apps are a better solution for your organization. Can I still work with my reseller with the cloud apps? Yes. We are giving our resellers more options with a new program. There are now multiple ways to partner with your reseller in regard to the Bridge Cloud Suite.
