Is Prime Collaboration Provisioning mandatory at every UC deployment?

[Ahmet Hudai KOYUNCU]

Dear All,

I have two questions.

In BE6000 world, is Prime Collaboration Provisioning always required to include in our offers? As far as i see on QPT it automatically includes and this consumes additional vCPU. I need a verification.

The second one is as follows:

With regard to the deployment larger than 1000 users, you know that we need to offer UC. Is Prime Collaboration Provisioning still required for such installations?

Your answers are highly appreciated as i am about to finalize a BoM.

Not yet but the long-term vision is for Prime Provisioning/Assurance to become an integral component of the solution. For now, it's only recommended as a way to lower Day 2 effort (i.e. easier MACD operations); however, if you're the partner doing the PS engagement, PCP does represent additional effort that you'll need to account for in your financial model.
