How long does it take to go live with GCC High Teams calling?

Deployment timelines for GCC High Teams calling range from as few as two weeks with a managed DRaaS provider to 12 to 24 weeks for organizations attempting manual SBC deployment and configuration without an experienced provider.

The difference comes down to automation and provider maturity. Managed providers that have pre-built GCC High-certified SBC infrastructure and automated provisioning workflows can onboard organizations quickly because the heavy infrastructure work is already done. The provider configures the tenant connection, sets up call routing, ports existing phone numbers, and deploys the service without the customer needing to stand up any hardware. Manual approaches require procuring, installing, and certifying SBC hardware, configuring Direct Routing from scratch using GCC High-specific FQDNs and certificates, and troubleshooting configuration issues that standard commercial documentation does not address. The customer's readiness also affects timeline: organizations with clean user directories, confirmed licensing, and a clear phone number inventory move faster than those still sorting out their tenant configuration. Atlantech Online positions go-live in weeks rather than months through a managed deployment model that includes white-glove setup, number porting, and SBC configuration.
