HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., May 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Throughout the
21st century there have been numerous advances in communication
technology. Whether it's through a computer, a smart phone, a TV or
a tablet, everybody is connected 24/7 keeping up with one another's
lives, personal interests, world news, and simple day-to-day
communications. Businesses are also highly interconnected within
the communications network, and with more multinational companies
expanding globally every day, unified communications is becoming
the biggest trend in integrated communication technology. AV
integration provider, IVCi, knows the ins and outs of unified
communications, and puts it up for discussion below. Check out how
unified communications can benefit your business today.
- What is unified communications (UC)?
-
- Unified communications is the integration of various
communication services, compiling them into one streamlined
communication experience. It's a seamless, unified user experience
where an employee can make a phone call from a laptop, while
messaging coworkers through an instant messaging system, while
receiving voicemails through email, all in one unified system.
- How do you implement UC?
-
- There are several factors that must be considered to
successfully integrate unified communications into a workplace.
It's essential that the user environment and interface are taken
into consideration, alongside proper software and hardware
integration. There's also the matter of having a stable
infrastructure, finding the right network, building strong
security, and developing usage policies, all of which must go into
a successful unified communications set-up. These components each
play a large role in the implementation of unified communications,
relying on one another for the best possible execution and user
experience.
- What to expect after UC implementation:
-
- Business culture shift: Following the
implementation of UC there is sure to be a shift in the business
culture 0f your office and the company as a whole. UC is built to
encourage collaboration and communication among coworkers, so you
can expect employees to begin to open up to a more collaborative
business culture after being trained in the capabilities of
UC.
- Employee engagement: UC can be a great tool
for encouraging employee engagement, especially in the training of
new hires. If new hires jump into the integrated UC system from the
beginning, they will be eager to learn how unified communications
can enhance their day-to-day function. Having new hires well-versed
in UC will also encourage older employees to interact with the UC
system, increasing overall employee engagement.
- Testing and planning for the
future: The first deployment of the UC system
should be smooth sailing for employees, but issues will surely pop
up here and there. This is where you can expect to conduct frequent
tests and incorporate regularly planned system checks and updates.
This is just a part of ensuring the user experience stays seamless,
giving the UC system a chance to earn the trust of employees.
Implementing unified communications into your workspace will
benefit your company's collaboration skills, business culture,
efficiency, and much more. Streamlining your business's
communication system has no downside, so view today as the best
time to start thinking about how you can set-up unified
communications.
