What is the first object you handle in the morning when you wake up, and the last when you go to bed? If the answer is your smartphone, you are part of this ultra-connected society.
Instantaneous information and increasingly nomadic use, new technologies are disrupting our way of communicating and by extension our way of working. Indeed, expectations in terms of mobility, productivity and cost reduction make these innovations knock on companies' doors.
In terms of business telephony, we hear a lot about unified communication. But do you know what unified communications are and what are the benefits for their users, managers and employees? Explanations.
What does unified communication mean?
This involves merging a set of communication tools and services, “unifying” them in order to facilitate and streamline exchanges and collaboration in real time.
In fact, a unified communications system (or UC for Unified communications) includes the following features:
- Voice: makes it possible to make and receive calls with all the functionalities of a switchboard;
- Messaging: communicate by email or instant messaging and simply archive your discussions;
- Conference: organize in a few clicks, a conference call with your employees, your service providers, your customers;
- Video: videoconferencing, document sharing or screen sharing, collaboration is reinventing and modernizing;
- Mobility: access all of your work and communication tools wherever you are and regardless of the terminal used. All your devices are synchronized in real time;
- Multi-terminal single number : you can be reached on a single landline number. When you receive a call, all your terminals ring and you can pick up the receiver on your desk phone, mobile phone or from your computer.
