If you are looking to improve your entire office’s business communications, Unified Communications (UC) is the answer. UC provides your entire staff with mobility, flexibility, connectivity, and real-time information.
Unified Communications 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 services enable users to manage their communications from one platform rather than separate systems.
Business communications have changed dramatically over the last few years. But what hasn’t changed is the importance of communicating with your clients and vendors. Today’s business communications are more than just making and receiving calls; it is about tying your communications together for a seamless experience regardless of device or even when you are not in the office. Unified Communication can improve productivity for everyone in your company.
Below is how Level365 Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) supports your entire business by functional area; from the front (Receptionist) to the back (Call Center, Technical Support) and everything in-between (Sales, Field Staff, Onsite staff, etc).
Receptionist
Your receptionist is often the first person your clients, prospects, and vendors have contact with when interacting with your company – either via phone or in person.
The receptionist is the face and voice of your company, so it is important to provide this person with the tools and resources to do their job effectively and efficiently.
Depending on your company, you might not have a full-time receptionist, and this is where an Auto Attendant can guide callers quickly and easily to the correct area and person. Almost everyone has been caught in a phone menu where it’s difficult to connect to the right person who can help. It can be extremely frustrating and leads to a poor customer experience.
UC Features that support the Receptionist:
(1) Auto Attendant:
Directs callers quickly to departments and people within your company. You can use this all the time or when your Receptionist cannot answer calls directly.
(2) Attendant Console:
It allows receptionists to handle multiple calls at the same time, using a simple and integrated view of presence status, directory, list of calls, memos, speed dials, and much more. Available within the Level365 Web Portal.
(3) DID:
Direct Inward Dialing (DID) allows certain employees to be reached directly rather than through the main line and an extension.
(4) Call Groups:
If someone calls for Sales, you can transfer to one number that will ring an entire group and be answered by whomever first answers the call.
(5) Paging Groups:
Ability to broadcast messages across a group of users.
(6) Cloud Faxing:
Email-to-fax allows easy inbound and outbound faxing from your desktop.
(7) Chat:
Ability to communicate with teammates from within the Level365 Web Portal.

Outside Sales/Field Staff
At Level365, our Unified Communications as a Service with enterprise voice will improve your entire team’s productivity with real-time information, connectivity, and mobility. Our solution works especially well with sales teams and field staff.
Your sales team is on the go conducting calls, closing deals, and meeting potential clients. Your field staff is away from the office and taking care of clients but still needs to be connected to the rest of the office. Shouldn’t your communications system be able to keep up as well?
The Level365 platform provides the information, flexibility, and mobility that your team needs to work effectively anytime, anywhere.

Onsite Staff
Unified Communications takes reliable business phone service to the next level. Your onsite staff needs desk phone service, but UC gives them even more information, mobility, and flexibility. According to GlobalWorkplaceAnalytics.com, 80% to 90% of people say they’d like to telework at least part of the week. For 95% of companies, telework increases employee retention. With UC features, you can allow your onsite staff more flexibility without giving up connectivity and productivity. Although your staff is onsite, it doesn’t mean they don’t want access to tools that allow them to work remotely and stay connected when they are away from the office or at least have the option to access such tools when needed.
