Mobility
Mobility is a very important aspect of today’s workplace, and key Unified Communication features can support this. Given the rapid adoption of flexible or remote work options and bring-your-own-device trends, this is an especially relevant feature. In an increasingly mobile workforce, employees need to access communication tools and resources while on the go, whether they’re working remotely, traveling, or simply away from their desks. Mobile UC tools empower users to engage in real-time communication through features like instant messaging, voice and video calls, and document sharing, fostering productivity and collaboration. By embracing mobility, organizations can enhance employee flexibility, responsiveness to customers, and overall competitiveness in today’s dynamic business landscape.
Integrations
Integrations play a crucial role in a unified communications strategy for several reasons. Firstly, they enable seamless connectivity between various communication tools and platforms, ensuring that users can access all relevant information and resources from a single interface. This integration enhances productivity by reducing the need to switch between multiple applications or systems. Additionally, integrations facilitate interoperability between different technologies and devices, allowing for more efficient communication and collaboration across the organization. Moreover, integrations enable organizations to leverage existing investments in communication infrastructure and applications, maximizing ROI and streamlining IT management. Finally, integrations with other business applications, such as customer relationship management (CRM) systems or project management tools, enable contextual communication and collaboration, leading to better decision-making and improved business outcomes. Integrations that many of our unified communication vendors offer are:
- Azure
- Google Workspace
- Salesforce
- Hubspot
- ServiceNow
- ZenDesk
- Zoho
- Microsoft Office 365
- Microsoft Outlook
- Microsoft Teams
Call Center Solutions
Providing great customer service is important for every business to survive and thrive in the competition. However, responding to every client’s query can be challenging. In the past, establishing a call center to handle inbound and outbound phone calls, emails, chat, social media, SMS, and faxes necessitated substantial resources, limiting access primarily to large enterprises with dedicated infrastructure. However, software-driven call center solutions empower smaller firms to oversee all communication streams from a singular interface, fostering a cohesive customer journey. Call center software that is typically incorporated in Unified Communications solutions integrates with existing VoIP phone systems.
