Unified Communications
Mobile phone, email, online chat, video conference, alerts, text messaging, instant messaging--end-users expect multiple collaboration channels to be available. However, when these channels are not integrated, the variety of channels can create more problems that it solves.
The solution? Integrated voice and application technologies that enhance collaboration, boost productivity, and improve the end-user and customer experience.
Benefits of an Integrated Collaboration Strategy
Modern communications platforms represent a convergence of phone systems, voicemail, video, messaging, and data in a shared IP-based infrastructure. For example:
In a healthcare organization, unified communications enable far-flung specialists to quickly—and securely—share and discuss real-time patient data through video and web conferencing on a desktop or a mobile device.
In the office, unified communications tools can enable colleagues to collaborate on documents in real-time, invite participants to a video conference on the fly, or switch from a call to a video conference if visuals are needed.
