WHAT IS UNIFIED COMMUNICATIONS (UC) and (UCaaS)?

 

Unified Communications (UC) combines voice, data, video, wireless and security capabilities while integrating with desktop applications such as e-mail, vFax, Instant Messaging (IM), business SMS texting, calendar, and CRM programs.  Most businesses already use office desktop phones, cell phones, voicemail, e-mail, video conferencing, IM, presence, etc. independently, in a non-unified approach- causing a loss of productivity and inefficiency.

Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) provides one solution for all of your communications needs as described above but is billed via a service charge, either monthly or annually.

Unified communications enable the above communication approaches to work together to increase productivity, efficiency, improve customer service, reduce costs and increase profits.

 

HOW CAN UC HELP MY BUSINESS?

 

Combining voice, video, data, and mobility guarantee a cost-effective and productive approach to communicating.  The following unified communication features can also be combined into one integrated solution for use on mobile devices.
