Unified Communications Solutions for Small Businesses
Communication has always been essential to the success of any business.
In this digital age, faster response times can help you stay ahead of the competition and stand out in a crowded market.
Your business needs to be agile to respond to customers quickly, day or night, and your employees need to be equipped to handle a constant flow of queries across multiple channels.
From internal collaboration among teams to dealing with customers, your business will benefit from a fully unified ICT environment.
Unified Communications effectively connects people, applications, clouds and networks, transforming how quickly and efficiently information can be shared. This helps to satisfy your customer’s increasing demands as well as improving employee productivity and boosting your bottom line.
How Unified Communications Can Boost Business Productivity
Boost business agility
By providing enhanced communication tools that permit users to find the right person and work wherever they are, businesses can improve decision-making, customer interaction and overall efficiency.
Reduce business costs and complexity
Features such as Presence, Video Call and Collaboration can reduce the need for excessive travel. Employees can work more flexibly through hot-desking, home working or while on the move.
Attract the next generation of candidates
Millennials are set to be the biggest generation in the workforce, so providing the right technology that caters for the way they work is essential. Millennials expect technology to be fast, accessible and on-demand.
Improve the workplace experience
Businesses are under pressure to appear available to their customers at all times, so the technology you provide to employees can make all the difference. Employee engagement and satisfaction are vital parts of the employee experience and will have a knock-on effect to the customer. Collaborate features are available on a mobile app so your employees will have their business communication system available wherever they are.
Streamline your IT operations
By providing greater control and personal administration via the online portal, Collaborate removes the burden from your IT team. Administrators can quickly configure the system according to the organisation’s changing requirements, whilst employees can easily manage their communication environment through the desktop and mobile apps.
