Dialpad Partner

Cisco to Dialpad Migration

Retire Cisco CUCM and your legacy on-prem PBX and move to Dialpad, numbers ported, dial plan, IVR and routing rebuilt, and the server, gateway and SIP-trunk hardware decommissioned. Calling, meetings, contact center and conversation intelligence in one converged, AI-native platform, with zero downtime.

Cisco to Dialpad migration
Quick answer

Yes, you can migrate from Cisco CUCM (or a legacy PBX) to Dialpad. Codimite, a Dialpad partner, ports your numbers (LNP) and rebuilds your dial plan, extensions, IVR/auto-attendant, call routing, voicemail and e911 in Dialpad, running both systems in parallel for a zero-downtime cutover. Once Dialpad is validated, your on-prem CUCM/Unity servers, voice gateways and SIP trunks are retired, replacing on-prem maintenance with one converged, AI-native cloud platform where real-time transcription, AI call recaps and live coaching are built into every call.

Why migrate

Why teams move from Cisco to Dialpad

Retire on-prem hardware

No more CUCM/Unity servers, voice gateways, session border controllers or SIP trunks to host, patch, license and refresh, Dialpad is fully cloud-native.

One converged platform

Calling, meetings, contact center and conversation intelligence live in a single Dialpad app, instead of a stack of Cisco products (Webex, CUCM, UCCX) licensed and managed separately.

Native AI on every call

Dialpad Ai gives live transcription, automatic call summaries, action items and real-time agent coaching out of the box, capabilities legacy CUCM simply doesn't have.

Simpler, modern UX

A clean app across desktop and mobile shortens onboarding and lifts adoption versus Cisco's heavier on-prem admin and Jabber/desk-phone experience.

Lower total cost & one admin

Numbers, dial plan, routing, users, analytics and AI settings under a single cloud console, ending the capex refresh cycle of an on-prem PBX.

What we migrate

What we migrate from Cisco

Cisco / CUCM object Migrates to Dialpad Notes
Phone numbers / DIDs Dialpad numbers Ported via LNP; port dates and SIP-trunk cutover coordinated with carrier
Dial plan & extensions Dialpad users, extensions & routing Internal dial plan rebuilt and rationalised; mapped to your IdP / SSO
IVR / auto-attendant (UCCX / Unity) Dialpad IVR & routing Menus and prompts rebuilt and improved
Call routing & hunt groups Dialpad call routing & departments Hours, overflow and skills re-mapped
Voicemail (Unity) & greetings Dialpad voicemail (AI transcribed) Greetings re-recorded/imported; e911 re-registered
Desk phones & SIP devices Supported Dialpad devices Re-provisioned; Cisco hardware retired where not reusable

On-prem CUCM/Unity servers, voice gateways and SIP trunks are decommissioned after cutover. Historical call recordings and CDR export depend on your Cisco deployment's access, confirmed during assessment.

Our process

Our Cisco to Dialpad migration process

  1. 1

    Assess

    We audit your CUCM dial plan, numbers, IVR/UCCX flows, hunt groups, Unity voicemail, devices, SIP trunks and integrations, and confirm what's portable.

  2. 2

    Map

    We map your dial plan, routing, IVR menus and users to Dialpad structures and your identity provider, rationalising the plan as we go.

  3. 3

    Pilot

    A pilot group goes live on Dialpad first to validate call quality, routing and the user experience.

  4. 4

    Migrate

    Number porting and full configuration in waves, with CUCM live in parallel.

  5. 5

    Validate

    Test calls confirm dial-plan paths, IVR, voicemail and e911 behave exactly as expected.

  6. 6

    Hypercare

    Adoption support and 24/7 cover through the cutover window, then on-prem hardware decommission.
