What are Unified Communications?

UC is a concept which describes the integration of enterprise communication services such as instant messaging (chat), presence, voice (including IP telephony), mobility features (including extension mobility and single number reach), audio, web & video conferencing, desktop sharing, and data sharing.

Unified Communications help simplify the proliferation of everyday technologies. Integrate voice, video, and data, enabling users to communicate and enjoy collaboration in real time. This ultimately eliminates inefficiency and improves communications, boost productivity, and enhance customer service capabilities across your organization.

Unified Communications solutions also enable users to streamline communication processes through the use of features such as rules-based call routing, simplified contact management, and speech recognition.
