1. What is Unified Communications (UC)?
Unified Communications integrates voice, video, messaging, presence, conferencing, and collaboration into a seamless platform so users can communicate more efficiently across devices.
2. Which communication tools are combined in UC?
UC typically includes VoIP phone systems, video conferencing, instant messaging/chat, email integration, presence, and collaboration tools like file sharing or screen sharing.
3. Can I use UC from anywhere (office, home, mobile)?
Yes. UC is designed for mobility and remote work. Users can access audio, video, and messaging services from desktops, laptops, tablets, or smartphones.
4. How does UC improve team collaboration and productivity?
It reduces silos by combining communication channels, enabling faster responses, lesser context-switching, better coordination, and richer interaction.
5. Is my communication secure using UC?
Yes — we implement encryption (in transit and at rest), secure protocols (TLS, SRTP), firewall traversal, identity & access control, and regular audits to ensure communication security.
6. Can UC integrate with existing business systems (CRM, ERP, etc.)?
Yes. Many UC platforms offer APIs and connectors so you can embed communications directly into your business applications.
7. How scalable is UC as my organization grows?
UC solutions are modular and scalable. You can add users, channels, and features as needed without major overhauls.
8. What happens if there's an outage or network issue?
We design UC systems with redundancy, failover paths, and quality-of-service configurations to mitigate disruptions. In outages, traffic can be rerouted or backed up services engaged.
9. Can you help with selecting, deploying, and supporting UC systems?
Absolutely. We’ll assess your needs, recommend a suitable platform, manage deployment and integration, train users, and provide ongoing support and maintenance.
10. How do I get started with Unified Communications services?
