Unified Communications (UC) is the integration of enterprise communication services via a common platform that improves, enhances, and facilitates better overall connectivity, information, and end-to-end solutions. UC has a lot of features, including the ability to make and receive office calls from a computer or mobile device for a unified experience no matter the device, plus more. Additionally, non-voice examples include text or chat, cloud faxing, presence, video collaboration, and integrated voicemail-to-email. Here are some great unified communications features.
