Unified Communications
UNIFIED COMMUNICATIONS
Unified Communications (UCaaS) is a big deal and understanding how the supplier’s services applications and features work for your multiple departments is important.
Vetting Unified Communications Suppliers
First, look at their cloud infrastructure including their soft switches, SBCs, media gateway technologies and their network POPs. This will help you identify their domestic and global reach based on your needs.
You should also understand their full UCaaS offerings based on their suite of services outside of just providing hosted VoIP. And, it’s also helpful to dig into their softphone apps, PC apps and user portals to see how advanced and user friendly they are for admins and individual users.
Has your head exploded yet? We get that this is a lot to take in, but understanding these unified communications services will help inform, educate and empower you to make the best decisions as to how they fit within your business.
