In this insightful UC Today interview, Marc Haimsohn, VP of Sales and Partnerships for the Americas at Kurmi, explores the critical challenges enterprises face when managing emergency services across complex, multi-vendor UC environments.
Haimsohn highlights how organizations struggle with E911 setup across multiple locations and systems, often requiring different teams and consuming over 30 minutes per user provisioning. The conversation delves into how evolving compliance requirements like Kari’s Law and Ray Baum’s Act are creating greater urgency for enterprises to ensure accurate emergency location data.
A key focus is the importance of centralizing and automating E911 management alongside UC administration. Kurmi’s integration with RedSky transforms administrator workflows by reducing provisioning time to under one minute while minimizing errors. The platform enables granular role-based access control, allowing enterprises to delegate specific E911 management tasks to distributed teams based on geographic location or functional requirements.
Looking ahead, Haimsohn discusses the evolution toward more precise location information, including floor-level detail in buildings, and the continued push for centralized management across diverse UC platforms. This automation-first approach is proving essential for overworked IT teams managing increasingly complex communications environments while maintaining compliance.
