An on-site collector reads the source system and produces a signed inventory. Vector does not connect to it directly.
CollabPlane Vector
Phone system migration to cloud calling
Move the phone system.
Keep control.
Vector migrates Cisco Unified CM to cloud calling. An on-site collector reads the existing system, you decide where each user, number, and device lands, and Vector provisions the target and records every change.
Vector is delivered as a hosted service. There is nothing to install except the on-site collector, where one is needed.

Is Vector right for you?
What moves, where does it map, and how do we verify it?
For teams planning and executing a scoped cloud calling migration.
- Start with
- Source inventory, identities, numbers, devices, dependencies, and reviewed target choices.
- Work toward
- Mapping decisions, readiness findings, provisioning records, and verification and rollback context.
- Review source inventory before choosing a migration group.
- Map supported objects to the intended target platform.
- Track execution and validate calling behavior before expanding the rollout.
An example
